    Now the schools are back and the nights are drawing in ( in the Northern Hemisphere anyway!  Laughing ) we have decided that it is time for a new Quiz! Party!!!

    This one should be easier than the last one, which despite it being a cryptic English quiz, was won by a Swedish member! (Hang your heads in shame all you native English speakers! Laughing )

    To encourage participation, we are going to do pictures this time and the challenge will be to identify the B&O items pictured above in the pdf file. Some are taken from funny angles, some are simply close ups of bits from which you will need to identify the whole! Some will be possibly from one of a number of models and a degree of leniency will be shown in these cases!!

    I will pick a winner from the group of members with the most answers and will not do so until I have a pre-selected number of replies.

    To enter, send your answers to me at beoworld_quiz@mac.com

    Simply put the number of the item and the name next to it.

    E.g. :

    1. Beomaster 4500

    2. Beocom 4

    etc

    Please put your user name at the end!

    Lee will be announcing the prize - we are veering towards a Spark to Icon book though if we find something interesting, we will maybe change this! We could include some difficult to obtain files Cool

    All the products are from the modern era with nothing before the 1960s. I have tried to avoid anything too rare and the most difficult ones are the ones Lee supplied in my opinion!!

    The pictures are in the .pdf file attached to the top of this post so you will need Acrobat Reader. You will notice (I hope!) a small note on each item with its number. If it becomes necessary, I will put clues on here though I am confident in your abilities!! Please have a go - better to try - you may be better than you think. If we get a good response we will do more!!

    Best of luck to you all!

    My apologies! I really meant the last one I set - which is rather egocentric of me, I admit!

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    I've looked at the pictures and decided I've more chance of winning the "Remove your own appendix sans anesthetic using only a blunt penkinfe without any outward display of discomfort" competition.

    Can wait for the difficult quiz after this easy one!

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

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    I expect answers from everyone! We may award a prize for the most original suggestions but you need to get at least 10 correct before starting to get silly!

    Helpful hints!

    Peter does not have that big a collection at present so some are duplicates!!

    I may award a special mention to anyone who gets number 32 correct!  Proud of that one!! Laughing

    Number 25 was one from Lee , I would never have got it!

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    We don't really expect anyone to get them all! Just answer the ones you can and send in the answers! I want to see lots of entries!!! Even if you only think you know a few. To set up these quizes takes quite some time and a good response makes it worthwhile. I have had one reply so far!

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    As an incentive, there will be a random prize of another B&O book - smaller but nicely presented  - which will be drawn randomly from all the entries. This is your chance to win something for nothing. The only stipulation is that you have to be at least a Bronze member  (free!) and you must get one product correct! This is to stop spammers from trying to flood the entry! The books sell well on eBay!!

    So get entering!!

    It's not about the winning - it's about taking part!

    The time and effort Peter has put into this surely makes it only polite to have a go.  Imagine if you spent literally hours typing a thread and taking images of your new mac and everyone ignored it...

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    Wow, its hard. i got 10 but without being able to zoom on the BeoWorld pictures I'm stuffed. 

    Are the photo's from the BeoWorld site?

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    No! They were taken by either Lee or myself in the last few days! I have acrobat so can zoom in though this is not necessarily helpful. I will post individual pictures on site as a jpg if any particularly are requested!

    I think you got me here. I have been a little selfish (I think this is the word that says that I have only been looking after me)

    Unfortunately the photos on Beoworld are not that high definition! All the pictures are new ones so do not feature on site!

    11 would be a pretty good score!  I didn't want something you could do too quickly!!

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    Well... I manages four so far, so I don't think I'll participate.

    Good luck to everyone else, though. Smile

    And it is a great initiative.

    I already have a Spark to Icon book, any alternate prize to give me incentive to continue? Stick out tongueWink

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    I really don't care how many people get - please send in your answers or it makes doing these quizzes pretty dispiriting! All replies get entered  into the draw for the smaller book so you do have a chance of a win! The only stipulation is that you are registered and get one right!!

    I am sure we can come up with an alternate prize if necessary!

    Have you ever been described as "demanding" by any chance? Hmm

    Re: Beoworld Quiz!

    Are any of these pictures flipped, or are they all following the law of gravity?

    Also, maybe I missed it, but what's the deadline for submissions?
