The Einstein Factor. A fair dinkum Quiz.
G'day Rein, I applaud your bravery to answer publicly. Your score however is 0 from 12. all incorrect. Remember this is a televised quiz show and correctness is required Whilst your last answer is 14th is technically correct the answer required was "St Valentines day") Question 11 required a true or false answer? For Australians question 9 is a "gimmee" because it is the jewel in the crown of any Australian collection. The one single stamp every Australian aspires to, and generally remembers exactly when they bought their example. I do not have one as yet :( Personally I thought his questions rather difficult, based in part on release dates, if this is the case for all quizzes then I am going to fail miserably every time :) "Rein" wrote in message ...
