So I think it’s time to finally do a quiz!
I love quizzes despite being the guy that isn’t that good at everyone else’s. So I thought I would do one where I would be the expert. It’s also one to see how well you have have all been paying attention.
For the topic of my quiz is simply going to be:
Shaun’s Blaugust Posts!
As this is the second time I have done Blaugust, I only have a little under two years of info to go with and if you’ve read them all then there shouldn’t be too much trouble. Honest practice suggests that you should attempt this quiz without Googling or looking back at my posts. You will have until the end of Wednesday to get your answers in. The winner shall receive a token prize of a packet of Werther’s Originals to be given to you at the next practical opportunity.
So here we go!
1. On the 6th of Blaugust 2015 post titled “Back to the daily grind of a professional student...” I mentioned that I felt like I had forgotten something I was meaning to buy that was IT related. I had mentioned “It makes me feel like some forgetful geriatric.” I then realised what the item was immediately afterward. Name the item in question.
2. I had previously done a quiz on the 20th of Blaugust 2014 (“Quiz-time!”). Explain briefly (in 140 characters or less) the topic of that quiz.
3. To date I have done 5 posts on the Animated Series “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” of which 4 have been in 2015. Name the MLP character I discussed in the first Pony post of 2015 (3rd of Blaugust 2015 “Everyone loves to party!”).
4. In 2014 the theme for my posts were in alphabetical order. However, in order to have enough posts I had an “Alphabet free day” on a certain day of the week. Name that day of the week.
5. On the 14th of Blaugust 2015 I discussed a game that had been frequently played at EVAC. Name the game in question.
6. On the 7th of Blaugust 2014 entitled “Fanfiction (Warning: NSFW)” I wrote a terrible Fanfiction. Name the source material for which that Fanfiction was based.
7. On the 1st of Blaugust 2015 I described how I had bought a new Dell monitor from a government auction. Name the public entity from which the Monitor came from.
8. On the 6th of Blaugust 2014 “Eurovision” I did a “Top 10 train wrecks ever presented at the Eurovision Song contest (that I have come across).” Name the Country and year for the song in the top position of that list (2 point awarded).
9. Explain briefly (in 140 characters or less) the concept that resulted in the post on the 8th of Blaugust 2015 entitled “This is why we can't have nice things”
10. On the 5th of Blaugust 2014 I state that the SNES version of a certain video game is better than the NES version (and it still is). What is that game?
So that is my quiz. I urge you to give it your best shot.
So until Tomorrow,
Have Fun and Stay Sexy!

Well, you're blog isn't one of my specialist subjects, but..
ReplyDelete1) No idea. You don't need to buy LaTeX. Am, I thinking of the wrong post?
2) It was scenes from terrible films, I think. I did pretty well.
3) All those ponies posts just look like "Pony Pony PONY pony" to me, but maybe there's a pony called Rainbow Dash. Was it that one?
4) Bah...Sunday?
5) That was probably when you talked about Zendo. In the mean time, I've actually played Zendo!
6) Frozen. Ugh.
7) Pffh...nope. Department of Education and Children's Services, or whatever they're called this week?
8) It was an Israel. I don't remember which year, but I remember thinking that I'd seen worse.
9) Wait, was that the LaTeX one with the annoying group work people, maybe?
10) You are still wrong. By the way. I boycott this question. NES Dr. Mario is the perfect game, and its strange idiosyncracies just serve to increase the challenge.
Ooooh! A quiz based around memorising pointless things read on the internet, I have to try it! (Also to give some competition)
ReplyDelete1. Forgotten IT thing you had to buy? Umm.. I feel like going for graphics card but mainly because a lot of people I know constantly seem to be 'upgrading' theirs.
2. Other Quiz? Something to do with Train-Wrecks? Man this isn't going well.
3. To be fair I have been barely paying attention to the 'pony posts' so lets make up a silly pony name! umm.. Pony mcPonyperson, by which I mean Rarity?
4. Sunday, sunday, Sunday!
5. Zendo
6. I feel as if it was horrible crossover fanfic for some series I don't care about, by which I clearly mean it was like ranma 1 1/2
7. I am going with a police auction
8. ugh, Eurovision, next!
9. You set up you're laptop with a text editor at *my* birthday party in *my* house and let anyone type and got exactly what you expected and exactly what it deserved
10. clearly simPharmacy by which I mean Dr Mario.
Dammit, my Werther's Originals are in danger!
ReplyDelete1. I had forgotten that I was intending to buy a Kensington lock that was only $2. Exactly nobody got this question.
ReplyDelete2. I played scenes from movies and asked you to guess the film. Thom got it roughly in the ball park.
3. I'm not surprised that anybody got this one. The answer was Pinkie Pie. You remember that one right? The post with Weird Al? Guys?
4. Congratulations! It was “Alphabet Free Sunday” where anything went. One point to Thom and one to Nick who made a last minute attempt at the quiz.
5. Congrats again! was definitely talking about Zendo. Point all round.
6. That fanfic was clearly terrible. But that was the whole point. And yes, it was from the movie Frozen. Thom gets a point. Don’t like the story? Then perhaps you'll just have to LET IT GO...
7. Your Coalition budget efficiencies at work everyone. That monitor came from the ABC! Thanks Tony Abbott. No points awarded.
8. The worst Eurovision train-wreck I have still have come across was Israel in 2000. Thom gets another point.
9. Nicks answer reigns supreme. It was the worst Blaugust post to ever exist. But it wasn't my fault because you all wrote it for me, not me.
10. Thom is disqualified for his answer by saying “I boycott this question” but the answer was Dr Mario. Nick grabs one last point.
So Nick makes a late comeback with 4/11 whist Thom just manages to stay ahead with a total of 5/11.
Thom, The Werther's Originals are yours! Would you like them before you leave or should I mail them to Oxford for you?
Yeah I'm a little annoyed that pony mcponyperson was the closest anyone got, still congratulations Thom, your Werther's were never in doubt.
