2023 Exeweb Advent Calendar Quiz XVIII: Prediction, Warm Up & General Discussion Thread

[Tim Long]

And I thought it was Duckworth > Fitzwater. Not taking to Fred's clues like a duck to water.

Tim Duckworth is a decathlete > 10 events > Squad number 10 = Admiral Muskwe

Why did you have to remind me of him?

An excellent "taster" fred. FWIW I would judge that as a one pointer and too difficult for a Quick Fire if you are doing those.

Will you say whether workings are required ?

Thanks Al, yes for me it was a 1-pointer but not a quick fire, I agree.

I will say whether workings are required for the real thing.

I love it when a poster fails to get “his” question

A fair point

I'll put another taster up tomorrow and then we start this year's EACQ with a Fiendish Friday which, in the world of this Quizmater, is a b@stard of a question set at 8am and the only one of the day. Good opportunity for Spot Roys and prizes for workings, but a tough nut to crack.

Either that or someone will get it within 5 minutes and I'll panic and have to use a load of other questions on day 1.

Rules also to be posted tomorrow.

There are rules...bummer.

Love rhules me but mainly when I set and apply them.

 

[fred binneys head]

They'll be very similar if not identical to previous years in the spirit of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Deleted, just testing.
