So Foggy, Maleneee, Blue, risa, Q, Syd and Starlite all got it right. Too easy obviously.

Question 2

In 1978 the Communist defector Georgi Markov was killed in London in a most unusual way. How?

Since these seem to be easy questions any extra info may get a bonus point.

Poisoned umbrella tip stab to the foot?
blueone

poisoned umbrella tip stab to the leg?
Sydneyfan
06-21-2007, 03:17 PM
He was stabbed with the sharpened tip of an umbrella that was filled with poison, while he was walking along the street. In his foot....in his leg.....possibly some other part of the body.....

I have no idea. (Although I suppose the poisoned umbrella tip reply is a safe bet now. ;) )

I always took you for someone who would know a lot about assassinations.

You offered a template to a question I didn't know the answer to. :P
Faded Rose
06-22-2007, 02:21 PM
Well that round was a runaway success I see..

So Foggy 2, Blue 2, Quincy 2 and Syd gets 2.5 for the fullest answer.

Question 3

Ryan has The Suicide Handbook, which organisation has The Assassins Manual

(a) CIA

(b) Mossad

(c) MI5

(d) None of the above - it's a spoof.

Back to the good old multiple choices. :upyours

I have no idea again but to try and get some differentiating scores I'll not copy someone. :lol

I'll go for A, the CIA.
Faded Rose
06-22-2007, 02:53 PM
Multiple choices are obviously preferable. The only drawback is I have to think of 4 answers.

The interest in this has been totally underwhelming...Is it worth another question?
Quincy

So Foggy 2, Blue 2, Quincy 2 and Syd gets 2.5 for the fullest answer.



Yet i was the one who actually knew the answer in the first place and everyone copied

So you're in a pet and not playing is that it? If you get this one right I'll give you a bonus point and then you may win and have to set the next quiz. Is that what you want?
Faded Rose
06-24-2007, 04:08 PM
OK Question 4 - I'll give the scores for round 3 after Q has decided if he's getting back in his pram and giving an answer or not.

Yitzhak Rabin the Israeli Prime Minister was shot and killed in what year?

(a) 1992

(b) 1993

(c) 1994

(d) 1995
Sydneyfan
06-24-2007, 04:16 PM
Hmmm, either 94 or 95 I think.......I'll say (d) 1995.
Quincy
06-24-2007, 04:29 PM
Honestly, I just wanted a way out, in case I did win again...no-one wants that.
Faded Rose
06-24-2007, 04:44 PM
Just get on with it. Answer the bloody questions - I'm starting to feel like a schoolmistress here.
Quincy
06-24-2007, 04:52 PM
Okay. B and C
blueone
06-24-2007, 04:57 PM

Someone's getting detention.....
Quincy
06-24-2007, 05:07 PM
Someone's getting detention.....

For what?
Faded Rose
06-24-2007, 05:07 PM
I'm rather enjoying the schoolmistress role....

Yes why is Q getting detention?
Sydneyfan
06-24-2007, 05:10 PM
For giving two answers to the question. This school needs more rules.
foggy
06-24-2007, 05:10 PM
1994 or 1995.. I'll go with 1994.
Faded Rose
06-24-2007, 05:11 PM
Quincy was answering questions 3 and 4 I thought.
Quincy
06-24-2007, 05:15 PM
Quincy was answering questions 3 and 4 I thought.

Yup. That's what I was doing, give C. detention for telling tales and trying to get me in trouble.
Sydneyfan

I can't give C detention - she's the headmistress.

Faded Rose
06-25-2007, 03:29 PM
I hate that monkey - he(she) freaks me out.

The answer to question 3 was (a) CIA and question 4 was (d) 1995.

I got a D for GCSE Math so I think the scores are:

Foggy 2, Maleneee 1, Blue 3, risa 1, Quincy 2, Syd 3.5, Starlite 1 and trappss 0

Last question (I refuse to have a tie OK)

Question 4:

Martin Luther King Jr was shot on 4 April 1968 in which US city:

(a) Atlanta

(b) Memphis

(c) Birmingham

(d) Raleigh

B on this question.

B!
Faded Rose
06-26-2007, 03:48 PM
That was far too easy. Everyone got that one right.

Means Syd wins with 4.5 and Blue was second with 4.

The poisoned chalice passes hands.
