Hi everybody,

Here's the April quiz for your enjoyment.

I realise many of you may be travelling for the eclipse and beyond, so I'll keep this quiz open and running for 6 weeks, until May 15.

I got 50% fun quiz Joe

[AntennaGuy]

Thanks for the quiz. I got 60%. Could be worse!

[Bigzmey]

60% here to. Fun quiz Joe!

[carastro]

40% but I don't do statistics.

[sdbodin]

An OK 80% in 6 minutes, hit the wrong button on one mistake, the other was a SWAG.

Much fun again, Bravo!

Good Quiz
90% - the one I got wrong, was down to one of two answers, and I went the wrong way, despite me thinking very strongly that the 'other' one rang a bell.
On the other hand, there was another question where it was down to one of three, but I happened to choose the right answer
So, just as easily it could have been 80%

[bobharmony]

80% here - it was a good guessing month!

[KathyNS]

80%. I missed the questions I was least sure about, so no big disappointment here.

[TerryMcK]

No spoilers here.
I got 80% and was confounded by the constellation representing an eagle. I also got the brightest DSO object wrong. Well I do live in a light polluted place so haven't seen it with my eyes. That's my excuse!

[messier 111]

wow, I got 90%.
I should have got 100 but I gave the wrong answer even though I knew the answer.
but hey I'm very happy.
thank you for this quiz which is very enjoyable .

Congratulations Jean-Yves. You've been playing the quiz for a long time struggling with the language barrier. A well-deserved result.

Only half the normal number of people have played the quiz so far. Unless half the regulars have suddenly become bored with these quizzes then something else is at play. There is a lot going on at present with solar eclipse preparation, eclipse and post-eclipse travels, and processing, lunar eclipse, comet Pons-Brookes, low latitude aurora displays.

So I've decided to keep this quiz active well into May to give all the regulars a chance to play.

Cheers

Joe
