CGWQ2011 DAY 5!!!!

Yesterday's marking still not finished, but we're going to have 30 odd people on full marks, so the pressure is really on now.

Ok that's enough building Masterchef-style jeopardy,. let's get on with the next six questions.

All answers to geekquiz@endemoluk.com by midnight tonight. Please included your Twitter name on your email.

Can I just say also that you have some incredibly cute cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, neighbours' pets, horses, spiders etc. I might publish a book. 'Richard Osman's Bumper Book Of Quiz Answerers' Pets 2012'. One for Harper Collins to mull over there.

So, the clues are all Christmassy, and the answers are all capital cities. Here goes;

25. SOUNDS LIKE JOSEPH. OR JESUS. OR ME.
26. LOOKS LIKE JOSEPH. OR JESUS. OR ME.
27. SCARIEST CRACKER
28. BACK-UP WRAPPING PAPER AND EGGNOG
29.INVOLVED IN SO DISMAL A BOXING DAY
30. JEERED A GRINCH

See if you can get all six of those at home.

Now, tomorrow will see the final 10 questions, but we'll be changing things around a bit. No more capital cities. Tomorrow the clues will be the usual dreadful geeky wordplay nonsense you have grown to both despise yet secretly love, but the answers will all be titles of Christmas number 1 singles.

It'll be awesome. Depending on your definition of awesome.

Faithfully yours,

Richard

  1. I'm still angry Adamstown wasn't yesterday's answer. Although I shouldn't bother as I destroyed all chance of winning with 2/6 on Tuesday.

    Liking Christmas song based cryptic puns. Sounds like the brilliant iPhone App Say What You See which I may or may not have written[/plug]
