2816 Fastest Finger First

Does anyone fancy a quiz?

We are holding one on this coming [B]Sunday evening 5th of March at 7.30pm GMT in the chat room [/B]- easy general knowledge questions about Italy with simple one or two word answers - nothing too taxing for a Sunday - for about half an hour or so.

The first three fastest people to type the correct answer get the points

3 points = first
2 points = second
1 point = third

At the end of quiz the points will be totalled and winner announced.

Notaio has been persuaded.. erm, I mean.. kindly volunteered to keep tally of the scores.. :D

It's just a bit of fun this time, but it's a chance to get to know others and have a chat..even if you don't want to take part in the quiz. It may lead to more "serious theme nights" being organised if it goes well.. everyone is very welcome.

:) :)

General chat about Italy

If anyone would like some help in chat room before Sunday so that your trigger fingers are ready for action, please PM me to arrange a guided tour. Sorry Finto's gone on strike! ;)

Do come, us chat roomees have had some fun evenings!

:D :D :D

cute idea - and something that I would really like to get started on the normal forums as well (only problem being lack of time to organise it)

italy mag would be happy to offer a prize to the winner in future editions if people sign up for it :-)

Ooohhh I never say NO to a bribe... ;)

How about somat for the winner of this Quiz?

Perhaps a diamond encrusted villa or an all expenses paid 5 star holiday to Italy.. or a .. hmm.. perhaps not.. but how about a Tee Shirt?

Dai.. and if you take part in the quiz.. you could even win it yourself! :D

:) :)

I'm unclear of the scoring system. If you are really quick on your keyboard, won't it be possible to pick up points for being 2nd or 3rd, even when you don't know the answer until the 1st one appears?:) Or are we to be honest?:rolleyes:

Ah.. if you don't know the answer.. how do you know the first answer to appear will be the [B]CORRECT[/B] answer? :p

You can be honest and smart if you want.. by swotting up for the next couple of days.. or you can do it Italian Style.. and take a chance! :D

It doesn't matter.. so long as it's fun..

Managgia!

Notaio e' un poco difetto nel mia sistema! (cinquanta percento per me OK?) :D

:) :)

Thanks to everyone who came to the chat room for the quiz last night.

The winner was "IwantotbeinItaly" Well done!

Tinker ended up with minus 42 points for thinking every answers was 'balls'.. Dave googled his way through most of it.. Giovanni sulked 'cus there were no questions about football.. Trulli kept sneezing.. and Andy threw his keyboard up in the air when he scored.. much to the amusement of everyone there.

Special mentions also go out to Iona, Fiona Bower and also to Rina.. as our most senior member for taking part.. and an extra special big thank you to the molto gentile Signore Notaio for keeping the scores!

It was fun!

:) :)

Twas a very good night!

Grazie! :)

Atchoo! Atchoo!

Well done, Aliena!! :)

Was a fun competition and I wish I could've 'postponed' my parma ham & basil chicken dinner until afterwards... though I can't really complain... I wasn't the one doing the cooking!! ;)

Hope there'll be a next time...

Ronald, any chance of a wee gift for the winner???

Cheers!

really enjoyed it - may there be many more

sulked? thats an understatement.... hardly had time to read questions,and
people where sending their bloody answers!
being as it is a quiz, then maybe everyone should be forced to use one finger
for typing....otherwise i may just have to use the banned one finger approach.......:)

[QUOTE=Iona]Well done, Aliena!! :)

LOL maybe, Lesley...

His favourite book at the moment is The Silver Spoon... I won't stop him from reading... or experimenting in the kitchen ... ;)

Was a really good night - roll on the next session (we ARE having one aren't we???)

Sure we can have another quiz night..

Any ideas on what the next one could be about? Easy Italian language questions.. food.. more general knowledge?

Lets see what we can all come up with.. and take it from there.

:) :)

Language or general knowledge sounds good... what about history and art? :)

just let me know when it's happening - I need to warm the fingers up
