Here's a Christmas Quiz for those of you who like a challenge this season. There are TEN questions, so I reckon no one can get snuffy over a lack of questions. The answers are ALL SIM names, so it is relevent. DON'T post your answers in the thread so you don't spoil it for others - although you could discuss it. Comments are welcome. I have checked it over but no doubt someone will find an error or two. I'll post teh answers sometime on Tuesday 9th December in a separate thread. Try NOT to use Google - use other sources but if you must, well then, you must ...
Here goes! I must admit I am quite excited ... however, there are no prizes - just teh knowledge that you know more about SL than anyone else.
ANSWERS ARE AVAILABLE ON A SEPARATE THREAD
1. Herschel found me in 1789. You could say it was a Titanic discovery! (And Jig's home Sim). (5 letters)
2. I am a one-armed pagan percussionist from Fiji. (8 letters)
3. Halfway to Gunnedah and Narrabi, you can't get lost on the Kamilaroi Highway! (8 letters)
4. "Buffalo Bill"? - Heck NO! It's "Bible Bill"! (8 letters)
5. While William wandered around, Dorothy wrote her journal here. (8 letters)
6. Clint had to play this over and over again ... (5 letters)
7. "... is love" says John and Paul. (3-3-4 letters)
8. Matrimonial desperation is found on these flowery pavements. (8-4 letters)
9. Water from the moon? This Egyptian goddess has her lioness's share of moisture. (6 letters, alternate spelling)
10. It's Edo all the way, and Japanese for "avant garde" - singing and dancing before Karaoke! (6 letters)
Well, this all in a good spirit so please enjoy the fun!
Merry Christmas from teh very far, far North!
Jig Chippewa.

Don't cry Ponsonby, there's scope for many more quizzes if people like them - I may even produce a Christmas Eve Quiz for those of us who simply can't get enough SL even over Christmas Dinner! I'll try and follow teh Times and Telegraph crossword method with anagrams and stuff as well.

I am planning a Christmas Eve quiz that will be a diversion from the Christmas wrapping and shopping.
