April 4, 2011 in Quizzes
Here are the answers to the questions posted yesterday.
Hope you did well with these. Ourselves, we had a few near-misses amongst them. We thought Home and Away began in 1989, we picked the wrong Wexford town for #7 and we answered ‘O’ to #10.
That last one being marked incorrect seems a bit harsh but it didn’t matter in the end so I shalln’t complain.

Hi
I think you need to check up the answer to number 9 about the phobia and hope for the best that you did not guess “marriage” or potentially you could have had another question right…. but a win is a win I suppose so at least it’s not too important a mistake on their part.

Thanks for pointing this out to me.
It’s actually my fault. My note does indeed say marriage. However, I posted this up away from my home computer (and those notes) and just presumed I had all the right answers in my head.
Not so!
