Hi quiz fans and a very happy new year to you all,

It's been so hot these past few days. Temperatures varying from a pleasant 27C up to 38C over the past week. Mercifully with low humidity. Perfect quiz writing weather! I was out in the garden early mornings until about 1030am and then the heat suddenly hit very hard.

I have my laptop and hence myself strategically positioned under one of the house cooling system outlets.

It's given me time to write this quiz and also a course proposal for a nightscape astrophotography course next March and April with a Photographic Arts Centre in Canberra I've worked with for many years.

Here is the February quiz, albeit a few days early, for your enjoyment.

One of the questions should be a total gimme for @AntennaGuy

Enjoy!

Joe

Looks like I got 40% though I am not sure I made it through the whole quiz

50%

One I should have known.

All my guesses were wrong! I won't be buying a lottery ticket today!

Fun quiz Joe! Looks like ATM I am the winner at 60%.

Well, 40%. I only knew 7 and 8 for sure, the rest were somewhat educated or complete guesses

Fun quiz Joe, thanks!

60%. I missed picking a couple of nits and plain didn't know another couple. Thanks, Joe! These are fun.

3/10 , happy new year to you .
thx

50%. Thanks for another great quiz and for calling me out. Now, I'm not 100% sure which question you considered the "gimme" for me, or even if it was one of the ones I got right, but... that's ok!

Hi Antenna Guy,
It was the Sci Fi question and yes you got it right. Of course you did!
Joe

Accuracy... I got 50% but didn't know certain answers exactly enough.
Thank you!

Ah! Of course.

I'm going to post my shameful results, I did this yesterday during the middle of a project that was keeping me awake most of the night. Hence my results......

1 out of 10.....

If I promise to do better next time, can I do the next quiz?

Of course. And knowing what you were dealing with and the sleep you were missing, I'm not surprised.

BTW: There is never any rush to complete these. These quizzes are open for a whole month. It's not even February yet. I released it a few days early after taking a break in January.

Joe

Another 60%-er here.
Tough Quiz - some simple mistakes, and one where I tried to be 'too clever', whereas 'standard answer' would have been better.

50%... I should have done better. Maybe March!

60%. A lot of guessing was going on.

40%
Can't believe the Australian's picked that name. lol

That’s a fair call but I have just two words for you, “BOATY MCBOATFACE”

40%.
That is with a few lucky guesses. Could have been much worse!
Thanks a bunch Joe!
