Astro Trivia Quiz June
It looks like Ray is busy this month. I hope he doesn't mind. I had a go at setting a quiz of my own for some of my friends so I thought I'd share it with all of you.
It's really quite hard and time consuming creating a quiz. I can now understand why he doesn't do one every month and I appreciate his efforts all the more. Sorry, no science fiction. It's not my wheelhouse. Not sure how hard/easy you'll find this. Go easy on me, this is the first time I've tried something like this.
Enjoy:-

Thanks Joe,BABOafrica wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 11:57 am I loved the quiz. And I grateful, Joe, that you took the trouble to put one together.
BABO
I have put a second one together which I'll post in a few weeks for July & August. I'll be travelling, going to a 9 day star party in Qld so won't have time.
Interesting, the first took me many many hours spread over several weeks. The second took me about 2 hrs today. Hopefully, I'll get quicker.

Re: Astro Trivia Quiz June
I should definitely have thought harder about some, but one was reliant on information that you're not likely to know, no matter how much you know.

Re: Astro Trivia Quiz June
Fair comment.
The longest year question was a question I heard on a talkback radio quiz. I knew the answer. I must be a time geek.
I thought it was challenging but did not realise how hard it was until 8/10 got it wrong. Seems like everybody guessed one of the 5 answers.
It was my first attempt setting a quiz like this and I was trying to have a mix of easy and hard questions. Will try to make the hardest questions easier next time.
