The rules for these fun quizzes will be:
- New quizzes will be posted weekly, on Saturdays
- Anyone can post one, but please clear with Gryphon or Tiggi before posting
- 10 questions per quiz
- Try not to make the answers so obscure that no-one will get them. At the same time we don't want them too easy
- Googling is fine, because it's all just for fun, but anyone claiming exaggerated scores for their musical General Knowledge may be ridiculed...

Didn't get 2, 5, or 6 right, but managed the rest.
Nice idea with the white text !!
Is this going to be a regular feature ?? If so, it might be worth sticking...

I think it should be a regular feature and we can all take turns to set the questions:biggrin:

David Bowie named his album "Low" After Nick Lowe
Nick Lowe returned the favour by naming an EP Bowi(e)
I glad you like the thread
Can't think of a way to make it interactive yet but there may be a way ( ask Techman's advice ?)
I would like to see this become a regular feature.................think it gives us on MD something that other forums may not have..
I would like us to take it in turns to set a quiz.
The MD Pop Quiz - kerry101 - 25-04-2010
can we use google to answer or is that cheating?
The MD Pop Quiz - gryphon - 25-04-2010
It's only intended as a fun exercise, so if you wish to use Google......I see no problem

hmmmmmm
here is the definition that applies in this situation
to take an examination or test in a dishonest way, as by improper access to answers
You decide.
