Suck on my rools...

• There are three rounds in each game. Each question is harder than the one before it.
• Each question in round one is worth 5 points, round two is 10 points and round three is 15 points.
• Checking your answers is not allowed (i.e. googling them). This is only for fun so I shall trust that you haven't cheated.
• However, you have two chances to get help throughout the quiz. These lifelines take the form of being allowed to check two of your answers (i.e. on Google or Wikipedia), but you need to indicate that you have done so. These answers will only get you five points each, regardless of which round they are in.
• To give your answers, please reply with only the question number and the letter A, B, C or D. This way it shouldn't be spoiled for those answering after you. I'll probably not give the correct answers for a couple of days.
• I will PM you your score out of 15 and the number of points you have received. The points will go into the leaderboard. Unfortunately, I can't promise to tell you which ones you personally got correct or wrong.
• The quiz masters decision is final (unless you can convince me otherwise!)
• In this game there is a 16th question. This will not count to the total points scored.

Personally, I think this one is quite hard, so good luck...

Weird, I thought this was the easiest one so far! Although I owe knowing one of the answers to having been an avid Blue Peter viewer as a child. Get down Shep.

[MK Chris]

Sunny So Cal, the fact you had to Google question two (though I don't blame you, you may not get it over there) means you should definitely make an effort to see it. It's a blinding comedy.

[Sunny So Cal]

I'd never heard of it but due but I'll blame my family for this

Wow I'm top with Balls!! Watch out Bagfer I'll overtake you yet!

[Ballbag]

I do hope you're not cheating Slut.

[Yudster]

You're paranoid Baggie!

[S4B]

I do hope you're not cheating Slut.

I see no point in cheating. I guess a few but that's not cheating. I don't want to google as Foots takes points away for googling! Scared of a little competition Mr Balls?

[Ballbag]

Just checking.... there's no harm in it.
