Well, due to popular demand, it's back. Sorry i've not put one up for a while, i've been pretty busy and these do take a bit of time to get online.

It's a new month and a new leaderboard, but this is how last month finished up...

February Leaderboard

  • Ballbag: 420 points (played 3 games)
  • S4B: 420 points (played 3 games)

  • Sunny So Cal: 415 Points (played 3 games)
  • Yudster: 410 points (played 3 games)
  • Wurzel: 350 points (played 3 games)
  • Pjordan2000: 335 points (played 3 games)
  • Bonanzoid: 325 points (played 3 games)
  • Andy B: 310 points (played 3 games)
  • Topher: 270 points (played 3 games)
  • Charlalottie: 240 points (played 3 games)
  • Ezza: 220 points (played 3 games)
  • Kendra K: 130 points (played 1 games)

Any newbies wishing to have a go, feel free.

Id also like to point out that the number of you that are managing to get 15 out of 15 each time.... well done! These are Millionaire level questions and if you are able to get the last five questions correct without checking... I suggest you get your arse on the TV show and make your millions! Not that I am suggesting there was any cheating going on, of course... ;)

I'll take this oppertunity to remind you of the rules:

  • 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!)

I've been lucky with all my guesses before. Just always go with the first one that you think. That said, I seem to have guessed on entirely too many this round. For instance, I was having trouble starting on # 2...
You should give points if we have a choice of 2 possible answers picked. You know, a half point if we put "A or B". Just a suggestion :)

1. C
2. I have NO idea. A or B...B I guess because I vaguely recall S Club and don't remember a Lisa...So...B, final answer.

I nearly did my usual "educated guess" instead of googling, but given what google said and what my educated guesses would have been, I'm glad I didn't. There were a few more I was far from confident about though, although strangely enough they weren't in the supposedly most difficult section. Tough middle this time Footy!

DAMN! I think I've messed up - is it too late to change my mind about two of them?! Oh, I'll live with it.

At least yours would have been educated guesses! I knew there was trouble starting at SClub! :oops:

Hah, I had two which I guessed and wanted to change for a more "educated" guess afterwards - and they were right in the first place, according to footy! So sometimes the uneducated guess works better!
