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
