I have a go on all your quizzes Bill. Just because I do not PM you with the answers every time does not mean I am not doing them. They are very difficult and I refuse to Google (I think that is cheating LOL)

But all in all i really like them. Even if like this last one I only know two or three answers.

Fifteen's gotta be more than I got :unsure: . For a start the first five were guesswork. Bit easier after that but a long way from 100% :( .

Mike I approxed the first five. Dark Side of the Moon was in the charts for over ten years so I went for approx 600 weeks, Rambo I think I put 1,500, Alasks was bought for approx 7 million dollars, Titanic I approxed at 1200, I think only about 300 of the passengers of 1600 where in steerage and the guinness one well, the amount I drink I put 2 million :D

Why would a winner want to remain anonymous? Strange :blink:.

 

Pretty obvious really!

 

A.Doesn't want younger members of this forum pestering him for help with homework.

 

B.As there was quite a decent cash first prize, he has no intention of laying himself open to begging letters!

 

P.S I think the winner may need to go out like this :ph34r: ......because if you don't, were going to find you..........don't you remember what happens to the smart kids in the playground....... :rolleyes:
