Not so very knowledgeable - I got 22, but a few were lucky guesses! A difficult quiz, but just a teeny bit easier than last time. Although I've heard from a very reliable source (thanks, Keith!) that next months is rather fiendish. My words, not Keith's. I'm filled with trepidation!

Not so reliable this time, next month is still just as gentle! Still set by me and Keith hasn't seen it yet. I sent Keith 30 questions that were set by Anita, and she's a hard taskmaster and yes, they were a bit fiendish!! I will certainly use all her questions, but balance them out so that they don't all come at once. As I have said before I do try to make it so that the questions cover a broad Blyton range and are not biased in any particular direction.HeatherS wrote:I've heard from a very reliable source (thanks, Keith!) that next months is rather fiendish.

I meant to ask you Heather, did you get your anniversary booklets okay?

I have the same "problem" when it comes to books. However, it is nice to be able to re-read books and have a surprise each time. I've read many of my favourite books over and over again but still forget things. My boyfriend read most of the Famous Five books when he was a child and can still remember everything.moonraker wrote:Fortunately (or not, as the case might be), I have a very forgetful mind.
This means I don't do well in quizzes, but re-read books having no idea of the endings!
I think you like Agatha Christie books too. It's always nice re-reading them and not remembering who did it. It means I can try to work out the murderer again each time.
As you rightly point out though, this trait is not much help when it comes to quizzes

Well, I wouldn't want to insult anyone's intelligence by making things too easy, would I?

Yes, I love the works of Agatha Christie. I am reading Mystery of the Spiteful Letters at the moment, and have noticed how similar to Agatha's The Moving Finger it is.
