Welcome to the THURSDAY QUIZ for 6 June 2019.

 

This week`s subject is BRITISH HISTORY.

Your quest is to find:

                                   the names of the English Monarchs from 827AD to 1154AD.

[to make it more of a challenge, I am not revealing how many names there were, but will say there are enough for all players to give two answers]

 

THE RULES: please note, there are a few changes to previous rules for the Thursday Quiz:

 

The Thursday Quiz is open to all members of the Community.

So whether you have joined in on previous Thursday Quiz, or you are a new member, or have never played before, you are all welcome to take part.

 

Each player will be allowed to submit two answers.

But, a player cannot post their second answer until after at least one other player has given an answer.

Players cannot give an answer already been given, and "I agree with ...." will no longer be allowed.

Players can give additional info [to earn credit if correct] but only to their own post, not other players`.

 

No googling, wiki, website, youtube, or similar search for the answers.

 

Each correct answer will be awarded trophy; additional info with be awarded credit; and each incorrect answer will get the * klaxon *.

The funniest comment or answer will get the special joy award.

 

The THURSDAY QUIZ opens at 9pm tonight [Wednesday 5 June], when the first answer can be given, and will stay open until 12 noon on Friday 7 June 2019.

 

Correct answers, additional info, and * klaxons* will be added up for each player; and the results and the winner[s] announced after 1pm on Friday; along with the winner of the special joy award.

 

Good luck.

Hi @Poppysmum 

To be honest, one of my weakest subjects is geography but still had a go on a recent wordsearch [even though I was rubbish sweat_smile]; so, although you might think you are not very good at History, why not have a guess and add a bit of info? You never know, you might be right and get a trophy or credit for info for something you do know. Or post something funny and get a special joy award.

 

I have a whole range of different subjects lined up for future Thursday Quizzes so I`m sure there will be something which should appeal to different members.

Now that`s the twist. A player might get a trophy but * klaxon * for wrong additional info.  D'oh!

Same here @Cleoriff, though with me it was history, English and French. Math was my worse subject; just couldn't get to grips with algebra joy And I didn't think I'd be needing it for work, somehow and I was right. I did plenty of figure work but it was all straight forward maths, not algebraic equations, thank God.

 

History was my favourite subject, British history in particular. American history bored me to be honest. I found Eurooean history fascinating; still do. But I can understand it's not everyone's cup of tea @Poppysmum smiling

Thanks for the feedback guys on your favourite subjects, which I will bear in mind for future Thursday Quzzes.

Interesting that most of you loved history which was one of my favourite subjects, and also loved maths, especially algebra, which I could do in my head without writing anything down [don`t worry @Glory1 , algebra won`t be a subject for the Thursday Quiz joy; but hated having to learn French language and could not get my head round geography.

So I can well understand @Poppysmum finding history a difficult subject.
