Round 18 will be open til around midnight tonight (5 more hours). I'll post the results in the morning...............

Round 15 is now closed. Answers will most likely come tomorrow.

Tuesday 21 June

Well this round and the next round is going to be slightly different for one simple reason – The Trivia Rounds started one year ago today! So I got together with Kuu (who began the rounds) and we decided to choose a question for each month of the quiz (she is going to do six questions tomorrow too). So…for two days only, there are Six questions to answer!

Round 22 questions.

I would like to thank Jane for taking over from me as quizmistress when I was no longer able to do it because of complications in real life.

Question 1 - originally asked by ElfTwinkle in December - In English we say 'Merry Christmas', how do you say Merry Christmas in any language? Please state which language you have used.

Question 2 - originally asked by Exit10 in January - Name a type of dwelling

Question 3 - originally asked by ozzz2002 in February - An odd number less than 200, that is part of the Fibonacci series

Question 4 - Originally asked by littlewoman2 in March - Name a celebrity who appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine in 1953

Question 5 - originally asked by Santana2002 in April- A stitch used in Boondoggle/Scoubidou-making

Question 6 - originally asked by ChrisSchu - Give a 2-letter word beginning with A

Apologiies to anyone that didn't have one of their questions re-asked but we were linited to just 12 questions.

Better close than no glimpse of a cigar, eh. At least Faith Hill was better than that outrageous first answer I offered !

3. Name one of the "Original 6" NHL hockey teams.

Okey dokey guys, good luck and have fun. If you hit a snag or two, you know where to reach me. I'll close this round sometime Sunday.

I wonder would the Australian contingency here kick me out of the game if I dared answer "Vegemite" to Q1?

Round 20 is now closed --- results up sometime later today.

Lol Santana, I so nearly put that! I was deterred by the fact that I maybe would not be the only one to choose it... (oops)

I played it 'safe' and chose something else - too many Vegemite fans here for me to risk it

And lucky for you, Santana

That sounds like an *almost* threat

It's a hell of a lot nicer than Marmite, anyway.

I would say 'beware!'
It was anti British remarks like that that would get people put onto convict ships in the first place...
