Greetings excellent TSSers, another trivia quiz for you. Here’s the link:
https://forms.gle/aegGwz6W7xqCuqR27

For the short answer questions, spelling does not matter. Misspelled answers will have scores adjusted.

Remember:
1. No online research allowed, your own pure brain only.
2. On multiple choice questions, feel free to guess. You may get lucky!
3. If you have a comment about a question, please do NOT give away the correct answer!
4. Please do not repeat the quiz, at least not until after I announce the Champ sometime next week.

Enjoy!

OK, I guess, got the first 15 points, then the 'trick' ones got me.

Well....14 out of 20. Couple of real toughies in there.

I got a 17, but had some lucky guesses

Forgot to put my name at the outset, but repeated with the same answers (even where wrong) to confirm my score of 14/20.
I'm happy with that.

11/20. Need to enhance my knowledge in certain areas!

I am really bad at this.

Some of my questions are hard, but I really try to avoid 'trick'. Esoteric is the word!

13 responses, average score was 10.46 out of 20. Best score this month was 17, by both Arctic and kt4hx. Hurrah!

Yes, knowing specifics of [spoilered] is quite specific, and that's where I'll have dropped a few.

13 of 20. Esoteric - that is a great description!

My PB I believe!

Thanks Ray, good quiz.
