The BlasterMind Study Thread

[Kudos]

People have been talking about starting a thread for showing your working out for Dave Golder's regular Friday SFX Quiz for a while so I thought I'd start it.

Please remember if you want to put your answers in here please put them in spoilers if the quiz is still running just so you don't spoil it for anyone else. If you're not sure how to hide text just use [ color=#f4f4f4] and [/ color] without the spaces like so: HIDE TEXT See, simple hidden text.

The current Quiz is The Headline Special Quiz; All the questions are headlines from articles that have appeard in the magazine. You have to name the subject of the article from the headline. And it' a bit hard.

I've copied the questions below or you can follow the link above to the quiz page on the main site....

1-Killing Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (2001 film)
2-Slaymate Of The Year (TV show)
3-Sonic Youth (TV show)
4-The Foresight Saga (TV show)
5-Horn Again (film)
6-All This And 1982 (TV show)
7-The Culture Show (person)
8-Companion Piece (TV show)
9-The Sun Of All Fears (film)
10-Ratman Forever (person)
11-Write The Future (TV person)
12-The End Is Nine (TV show)
13-The Uncanny Suspects (film)
14-Damned Dirty Ari (film)
15-Apocalypse NW1 (film)
16-Five And Kicking (TV show)
17-Hi, Hi Miss American Spy (TV show)
18-Resurrection Dan (TV person, extra points if you can work out the plot line inspiring the headline)
19-Getting Wiggy With It (TV person)
20-Fighting Tooth and Claw (film – think carefully about each word)

Below are what I've come up with so far.... It's a difficult one this, I don't have much faith in half my answers....

Just me doing the BlasterMind Quiz then is it??

Well I got 11/20 on that last one. That was a toughy. Cheers Dave.

I devote about 30 seconds to a brief look at them, decide that I am thick and go off in a sulk. But I have plans for all this to change, I will get a concentration span and I will give it more effort. And THEN I'll decide I'm thick and sulk or I'll surprise myself by actually knowing something.

See a second look at the above revealed that I did know two of the answers (and no I did not peek at the answers first!)

You having a go at this weeks quiz Rocky??

[rocksolidhair]

I just did and I think I know a few of them well when I say I think I know a few I vaguely guessed a couple and the boyfriend made some more informed and more likely to be correct guesses.

[Kudos]

I think I have six for sure, maybe seven. I'll post my answers here later with spoiler tags.

[rocksolidhair]

Ok I know 2 for definite. Some I think I know. Will have to come back to it later. Damn work getting in the way of quizzes.

[Kudos]
