Answers
Why do you keep doing it TTT?
You are reminding me of abbeylee who asks similar questions every time she posts, that gets on your nerves, doesn't it?
You get on my nerves as you do with other Abers, it's like you are looking for people who answer a question wrongly because it amuses you and you share with us hoping we will find it amusing, well we don't.
It isn't a nice side to you at all, please stop doing it.
barsel: "it's just that you are getting very monotonous and mocking people who don't know the answers is not a nice thing to do" - I'm not doing that, there are hundreds of wrong answers. I try and pick those with an amusing feature. Just meant to be a light hearted post but people like you have to get all snarky about it. Feel free to ignore my posts if you find them so annoying.
Bradley Walsh: "A £2 coin issued in 2015 was criticised for a 'schoolboy error' because it showed King John holding what?"
The options were a) Sword b) Quill and c) Mobile phone, which we imagine was thrown in there as a curveball.
The answer given - the mobile phone.

Just say'in.. TTT's avatar on my screen looks like a caveman (long dark hair and a thick bushy beard..!?), finding the depth of 'quiz knowledge' being shown here came as a surprise! - depth of knowledge vs shallow broad knowledge of many subjects.. as JimF and others have pointed out General Knowledge can apply to a vast almost unlimited sphere of knowing, where the future soon to arrive will take us.. AGI will know everything about everything so don't invite one to take part in your local pub quiz! ;O) But for quizzes and quizzing the term General Knowledge tends to be a limited subset of knowledge.. flags, US Presidents, Capital Cities, the periodic table, UK No.1's etc. I expect you have guessed I love quizzes.. to find TTT being entertaining in a fun way here is good I have to say.
The team name I and my friends use is Universally Challenged.. you may have seen the book (I picked up a copy in a seconhand bookshop recently) it's
'Universally Challenged: Quiz Contestants Say the Funniest Things' very amusing, worth looking out for, I recommend it.
The thing I like is when the Chasers get an answer wrong that they really should know.. I call it a QBF (Quiz Brain Fail) - the book that highlights such falings is
'Can You Beat the Beast?' by Mark Labbett.. it includes lots of questions, the answers he gave show the limits of his knowledge (at that time).. as he says learn from your failings and read up to keep up with news etc and extend your stored knowledge. Good advice from the Beast!
