BBC News quiz of the week, 06/08/26.

[classic33]

Or, maybe from next year, just have it as a single, rolling thread like the Guardian one?

Current format has worked since it was first posted
And as for going backwards and forwards, to check the scores of those either side of you becomes harder. Four times the number of posters.

4 times the number of posters?

 

[classic33]

As from this Thursday's quiz, I am thinking about putting the scoreboard at the beginning of the thread as I really can't be arsed having to go look for the previous week's thread and thence going back and forwards just to make sense of the incoming scores.

Just a heads - up.

Just so you all know, Mad Doug Biker has volunteered to take over the scoring.
Posting the scores on Thursday evenings. Before he posts a score.

Edited to add my score for this week
5/7

You didn't understand what I said, did you?

Cripes, don't know how I let this one slip by! Hope my score can still be valid
4/7

Ok, here's the scoreboard. I'll tidy it up later with stats and so on, but I am a bit frazzled after doing that. I can only hand it to Classic for having done this for years!

I do need to re - iterate again, however, that at NO point did I ever say I wanted to take over.

Anyway, the numbers in brackets are what you scored:
