[Vampyrist]

I got 10 3/4 (1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 14 abc, 15, 16, 17, 20)

Also The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne. It is even more awesome with Adam Baldwin singing it.

[JR19759]

I managed to get 9. 3, 4, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20.
I think Q20 would have been harder if it was name the original Ultimate X-Men.

And I have learnt something new about Green Lantern, for which I thank you.

[Myro]

Vampyrist: I love that video. Especially Adam Baldwin’s hat. A man walking down the street wearing a hat like that, people know he’s not afraid of anything.

JR:

Also, the idea of the magic ring came from Wagner’s opera The Ring of the Nibelung.

[Myro]

Well, so far we’ve only had 2 participants.

Vampyrist 10.75
JR19759 9

Anyone else going to take a run at it?

[Trekkie]

You mean someone has actually beaten you at one of these quizzes?

Yes. I always knew this day would come…

[headlessgeneral]

I got all of 14, 16, 19, and 20 for a total of 4

[Myro]

I sadly don’t have a geek quiz right now, so, while I will try to work on one, nothing will be released until next week sometime.

In the meantime, the standings on this week’s quiz thus far:

Vampyrist – 10.75
Trekkie – 10.5
JR19759 – 9
Headless General – 4

[Myro]

So, sadly, I’m just not coming up with enough questions (I might have 2 or 3) for a suitable Geek Quiz, so I would like to take a break from it for a while, give myself some time to refresh. If anyone else wants to take a crack at putting up a Geek Quiz for the forum, please do.

[JR19759]

Unless anyone else volunteers within the next few days I’ll take back over, but it’d be more interesting if someone else stepped up to do it.

[JR19759]
