always use analog scoring - (paper and pencil),

i used to but now have a spreadsheet setup and it even adds up the scores for me i find it simple enough

[kpnut]

I’ve written myself an ‘adding up’ spreadsheet too, but might just print it off and use that. 
I must say my afternoon has been a bit disrupted with butterfly’s!!!!!!!🥺

That's what I did too. 

Avoids making mistakes adding up. 

[Tigerhawk]

Belt and braces for me!

Write the points scorers on the question sheet and use a spreadsheet too.

Cross check after each section!

[kpnut]

We got there!!!

Lots of points all round, SteveO was second with Mike being victorious. 
My head’s buzzing - bees now Grendel, not butterflies.

Great quiz Kate, really enjoyed it. 

Lovely turnout of the Friday Friends to start the weekend.

And well done to Mike on being victorious tonight. :)

[Bikertov]

You were great last night Kate

You were confident, in control, quite relaxed, and really seemed to enjoy it. 

I would never have know it was your first time. 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking forward to your next time as QM already.

Well it was another lovely evening with the Friday Friends. If we ever entered a quiz somewhere together I think that would be a great team name.

I just sneaked a win ahead of a few other folk - it was a close run and fun quiz, thank you Mike. :)

I've not got a lot of time this week so the questions have already been put together.

It's going to be two rounds for each half, with 8 or 9 questions in each round.

Categories are loosely set as

• Culture
• People
• Places
• Numbers

Not necessarily in that order ... hopefully something for everyone and a few things that you can guess even if you don't know. The culture round is a bit miscellaneous really, just needed a label for it.

Hope to see as many as can make it next Friday evening around 8.30

Have a lovely weekend everyone. :)

Jean, I have been thinking of coming along one Friday but fear I would knock our lovely Biker off the top spot of answering the least questions 

I love the name Friday Friends too and quite appropriate for this forum 

 

[Bikertov]

Oh Gracie, please do join us for the Friday Friends quiz - it is a lovely way to start the weekend  

And I'm not always on the top spot for the least questions, albeit a close contender most weeks 

[grendel]

he has nearly accidentally won it several times.

I actually did win once, last year. IIRC, that was when the term "Biker Points" was coined, resulting in my win that week 

My maiden outing as QM was for the Queens Jubilee weekend 

But don't worry, I'm an easy act to follow

Many thanks to the Friday Friends for a great turnout and a lot of fun.

Joint third place belonged to JanetAnne and Tigerhawk both on 7 points.

Runner up today was Bern on 8 points.

But out in the lead on 12 was Polly, a very worthy winner tonight.

Being mindful that it is Good Friday next week Polly has kindly offered to prepare a quiz and see if we get enough people in the chat room to go ahead. So please do come along if you're able.

Our Easter Quiz was well attended so thanks all. 
Somehow Alexa scored 2 points in the poetry section 🤣

Janet Anne came third, Grendel was second and Bern romped home as a worthy winner.
