@Cleoriff Nice to know you are playing along again. How many do you think you could answer, and you can tell us why you wished you`d had this one after I give the results on Friday 

@Anonymous Thank you for playing along too. To guess two is good - seeing some are harder

I can answer 4 without thinking hard.....the other two would need a lot more thought.

Four is impressive @Cleoriff - good luck with trying to find the other two answers 

[Cleoriff]

I didn't mean to sound 'cocky' about the 4  I could answer. It's the way the dice rolls I suppose?

Depending on your interests and various other things.....questions would be easier for various people...

Doesn`t sound cocky at all @Cleoriff .

As you said, it`s how the dice rolls. I choose the questions from a range of subjects over the weekend.

I pm Emilie with the list of contestants for her to choose the contestant - but she does not know the questions so it is pure chance whether the questions match a player`s interests and knowledge.

To be honest, when compiling the list of questions I have come across some which [if I was playing] I would find difficult to answer

I'd smash the lot,

Could guess at 3, know 1 and the other 2 are beyond me...
