Kids these days: answers
March 15, 2011 in Culture, Quizzes
Here are the answers to the questions posted yesterday in Kids these days… All of them.
It became the post with the most comments ever on this site so it obviously piqued some interest. Yes, I know five comments doesn’t exactly put boards.ie under threat but it’s a big deal here. You’re a quiet bunch.
The questions are pretty impressive. I got into quizzing when I was in primary school but unfortunately I remained the big fish in a small pond as our school quiz team never actually took part in any competitions! I have one vague but pleasant memory of my mother returning home from a parent-teacher meeting and telling me that, whilst academically I was “doing well”, my teacher had been much more impressed that I’d known the name of Cardinal Ó Fiaich* in a quiz he’d called out from a newspaper. It had been about three weeks beforehand but he still remembered it when the P/T meeting came along. Well, I was about 8 at the time!
Anyway, this is just to illustrate my belief that the quizzing kids of today no doubt got most of these questions right.
