    QUICKFIRE QUIZ !!

    Back from my holidays - and feeling refreshed - i thought i'd do a little 10-question Quickfire Quiz.

    Quite easy - and the clues are all cryptic. Peter will kill me for making them so simple!! Whistle

    PM me the answers you have with the title "QUIZ ANSWERS", and the winner will receive a Bang & Olufsen Vision og Legende book, a BeoWorld Desk Set, a BeoWorld Official Baseball Cap, and an Open Mind CD. Entries accepted for 1 week as of now (Friday night), then i'll announce the winner!

    Here are the clues..

    1)    A heart, a kidney, a liver - added to something a plumber works with? These speak for themselves..

    2)    Personally speaking, this headgear can get you in the fast lane!

    3)    In the Bang & Olufsen newspapers, this is the premier.

    4)    Controlling an all-wheel-drive Audi

    5)    A musical piece from behind closed doors

    6)    Store your B&O in the loft – or sound like it!

    7)    One more than six bonds displaying in red.

    8)    First on the stack with two arms!

    9)    The Famous Five would talk loudly about these.

    10)     Well connected in B&O circles, but taking an inactive stance.

    Good luck, and if you get stuck on any, please feel free to let it annoy you for hours or even days... LaughingLaughing

    How thoughtful Peter, to put that on the official site.
    BTW, Lee if I get the next three (got 7) and win, I would like to offer my goodies to the runner up. (bit optimistic, I know)

    LaughingLaughingLaughing

    Don't worry Lee.
    I'm sure there is a whole host of people franticaly looking through the product pages.
    Saturday evening is always quiet on here, sometimes I even have to answer my own questions!
    If this quiz ends on Friday then all the people who only have a few questions right will wait 'til Thursday night before PMing you.
    BTW, No problems with my workbench thread?

    Re: QUICKFIRE QUIZ !!

    You don't really need to look through product pages as not one of these products can be described as obscure.

    The clues are in the questions, and are really pretty self explanatory!  I've had one set of answers PM'd to me - so he's the winner if nobody else enters!! Come on you lot - prizes and pride at stake! Smile

    As for the refoaming thread - another brilliant one from jandyt!  I've added it to the FAQ section with the refoaming article for future reference for members and visitors. Keep up the good work Andy!

    Re: QUICKFIRE QUIZ !!

    I've just got all 10 correct (according to Lee) Laughing

     Unfortunately I am inelligible for any prize though, being connected et al!

     But as for the rest of you... come on, it really isn't hard at all!

    Muchos Gracias Cool

    Re: QUICKFIRE QUIZ !!

    2 days left to go until the quiz closes.

    I am overwhelmed by the amount of PM's i have had from excited entrants, thank you to both people.

    Huh?

    Come on you lot - it's not that hard !!  The clues are cryptic, not deeply technical.

    Re: QUICKFIRE QUIZ !!

    I have really been trying, but probably I am to stupidEmbarrassed

    Or hopefully it could have something to do with the language....

    Not that this English is that complicated, but it is always more difficult

    to solve problems in other languages than your own.

    I have taken college classes in english without any problem with the language,

    so come to think of it, I must be plain stupidSad


    I have 3 answers that I am sure is correct, and 2 guesses...

    Re: QUICKFIRE QUIZ !!

    Same here, I gave up.
    Surely, it's a great idea but wordplay and abstract thinking in other languages is hard. I suggest we make one in danish next time. Big Smile

    Re: QUICKFIRE QUIZ !!

    Hey, Guys (and Gals!) - i fully understand that it must be a little daunting when presented with a quiz in a foreign language.  I was mainly berating the English for not entering. Sorry if i have offended anyone, it was never my intention. Sad

    Okay here's an example clue and answer to get you into the correct train of thought.. Maybe this will help.

    QUESTION/CLUE

    Looking between W and Y could take a Century!

    ANSWER

    Well, the Century bit is there to throw you - but here goes with how to figure it out..

    Looking = SEE, then between W and Y is 'X' and a Century is 100.  So, you get CX100, and this is the answer.

    Here is another

    QUESTION/CLUE

    Feeling calm for now, but you could flip at any second!

    ANSWER

    Obviously a Serene!

    ---------------------------------------

    Hopefully this gives you an idea of my way of thinking..

    Lee

    Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.

    On the language front, remember that a Swedish member won my quiz!

    Its only easy if you know the answers. I think a few are easy, i also think a few could have more than one answer. This could drive you mad for hours, i cant wait to see the answers.
