Challenging Pople at Physics

Okay, so I was doing some internet research. Now I’m just procrastinating…

You Are a Life Blogger!

Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary. If it happens, you blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible.

You Keep Things Chill

For you, the whole adrenaline thing is totally over rated. You’ll take safety over an emergency room trip. This doesn’t mean you don’t break out of your comfort zone. You just don’t stray too far from it.

Are You a Thrill Seeker?

You are “Face with Glasses”

What Japanese Smiley Are You?

You Are a Christmas Sweater!

Over the top, colorful, and totally flashy. You’re not afraid to be a little tacky.

What Crappy Christmas Gift Are You?

Your Irish Name Is…

Maeve Martin

What’s your Irish Name?

Your 2005 Song Is

Since You’ve Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson “But since you’ve been gone I can breathe for the first time I’m so moving on” In 2005, you moved on.

What Hit Song of 2005 Are You?

You Are Lisa Simpson

A total child prodigy and super genius, you have the mind for world domination. But you prefer world peace, Buddhism, and tofu dogs. You will be remembered for: all your academic accomplishments Your life philosophy: “I refuse to believe that everybody refuses to believe the truth”

The Simpsons Personality Test

You Are 40% Addicted to Blogthings

Okay, so you know how to take and post a Blogthing. But you’re no addict. (Hey, this quiz *proves* it!) For you, Blogthings is more of a healthy habit. At least, that’s what you tell yourself!

How Addicted To Blogthings Are You?

So now you know.

Ha! Abbi “I will crush you” Davey is under the impression that I will be writing out an exam board style apology letter and upgrade her mark to an A*. However, I will not, because:

A) She was mean to me, I do not enjoy crushing

B) I don’t want to upset James, he is marking the quiz

So the new results are

Jen - 113 - A*

James - 60 - B

Abbi - 45 - E

Now lets never crush Sophie again. Grebleeee! 

This year it was pleasing to see an increase in the number of candidates writing about Lord of the Flies, although the drop in the number of candidates choosing Of Mice and Men was disappointing.

Those of you who have read the AQA examiners reports know what I am on about.

So here is the examiner’s report for the 2006 examinations series Christmas Quiz: 

Question 1 was answered incorrectly by most candidates. Jenna received the full 25 points for correct item and spelling, although did not know that the animal was a goat. Abbi was awarded 5 points for her correct identification of Luke and Lorelai standing underneath it.

Question 2 was answered correctly by all candidates, although Jenna will only receive 8 points as it was in fact built outside Lorelai’s house, not the Dragonfly Inn. Abbi’s description was most accurate: “a small ice rink, being skated on by an upsettingly slim girl, outside one’s house, probably done as a romantic gesture, under a tree, in the snow.” Jenna correctly identified that this was following Lorelai’s break-up with snow.

Question 3 was also answered correctly by most candidates. James receives full points for his identification of the Santa Burger, and his recognition of it being horrifying. Jenna receives an additional 10 points for her seamless reference to “no-one has ever made me anything quite this disgusting before.” Abbi only receives 15 points for not having the phrase “Santa Burger” in her answer.

Question 4 was designed to challenge more competent candidates. James receives 10 points, as his answer was correct, although irrelevant. Abbi receives 0 points. Jenna receives full marks, although I think that Mark Ruffalo was still downstairs in the beam of light at that point.

James received 20 marks for being the first to reply, Abbi received 15 for being second and Jenna received 10 for being third.

Therefore, the results are as follows:

Abbi - 45 - D

James - 60 - C

Jenna - 113 - A*

If you believe that your paper has been marked incorrectly, join the queue.

Ha! If you read the title, you may be under the impression that your knowledge of Christmas will be of some use to you in this quiz. It won’t. The task is, you need to name each of these items that no-one has ever made for me. There will be points awarded for their difficulty. Creativity is, as always, encouraged, although correct answers will be more highly rewarded.

Oh, and as Jen has a huge advantage, there will also be points awarded for how quickly you respond. Just because I like comments. If you’ve sent me an email so that nobody copies your answers, post a comment to let me know please!

Also, please do my quiz.

Question 1 (15 points for answer, mark out of 10 for spelling)

Question 2 (10 points)

Question 3 (20 points)

Question 4 (40 points, the answer is not Reese Witherspoon)

Good Luck!

Here are the official answers to my quiz last week:

1. The day the music died. It’s from American Pie. 

2. A bay is formed by erosion, the other two are formed by deposition.

3. I have three fish in my pond. There were four, but one of them ate another one.

4. The answer was d), obviously. The test in fact said that I was all of these things.

5. Since I still don’t know why this is, I will award a point for my favourite answer, which was Xinmei’s:Because….there’s some big monster thingy lurking in your computer that sleeps and whiles it’s sleeping your internet doesn’t work. He also likes to lie in until 10 in the morning. That is why. I hope you get to work on that straight away.

6. The answer was c). I don’t quite know why. And yes, I agree with Abbi that a) and c) are the same thing, really.

7. They are found in leguminous plants, such as peas. It’s on the syllabus.

8. The cereal was banana flavoured. I know.

 So in third place was Rosie and James with a score of 0.

In second place was Abbi with a score of two.

In first place was Xinmei with a score of three.

Sophie will not be issuing prizes. Good day to you all.  

Okay, I have assembled a collection of quiz questions for you, based on things that I have learnt during this half term. If enough people answer, I will assemble a leaderboard. 

No looking things up on the internet. Because that’s cheating.
