I tried to post this last night (my time) but it seems Funtrivia was down for a while.

I will run each game independant of the others this week and will award a point to each winner/s each round. We will see if anyone has more than one point by the end of the week.


Quote:

ROUND ONE

1) A species of cat that is native to Africa (excluding the domestic cat)
2) A child of Rose and Joe Kennedy snr
3) The name of an asteroid starting with X
4) One of the main quiz categories at Funtrivia
5) A state capital of the US that has a two-word name




I edited this soon after I posted it because I left out the word capital in the last question. I am hoping no-one read it before I changed it.

Mine's on its way! (Called it 'Monday', but I guess it must be 'Tuesday' down under by now? Actually, it's already Tuesday here, duh...I count the days from when I get up till I go to bed, so get confused sometimes ).

Here are the results of Round 1. We had 13 entries.

Question 1 Cat of Africa

Worth 10 points
Black foot cat, cheetah


Worth 5 points
Lion (3), caracal (3), serval (2), sand cat (2)

We had one answer of Jaguar but it is a south American cat not African.

Question 2 - Kennedy child

Worth 10 points
Edward, Robert

Worth 5 points
Kathleen (3), Eunice (2), John (JFK) (2), Jean (2), Rosemary (2)


Question 3
I was only expecting asteroids from The Asteroid Belt here but three members looked elsewhere in the Solar System and their answers are correct. Next time I use asteroids I will know to be more specific.

Worth 10 points
XR2, XN254, XF11, Xanthe, Xanthippe, Xosa


Worth 5 points
Xiwanggongcheng (3), Xizang (3)

One person did not give an answer

Question 4 Main Category at Funtrivia

Worth 10 points
Humanities, Hobbies, Animals, People, Religion

Worth 5 points
Literature (2), Sports (2), For Children (2), Brain Teasers (2)

Question 5 State Capital with a two word name


Worth 10 points
No entry

Worth 5 points
Carson City (4), Little Rock, (3), Baton Rouge (2), Jefferson City (2)

Unfortunately we had one person who thought I meant a state capital of a state that had a two-word name and gave me the capital of Rhode Island. I had to mark this as an incorrect answer.

Another person said Los Angeles but the capital of California is Sacramento.

Scores and next rounds questions will be up soon.
