Passed the American History quiz - now for Australiana

[Davros]

Hi Moridin,

LOL, good to see the attempts - and well done for spotting that Australia doesn't hold the Davis Cup (but New Zealand......., really??). Ummm, one out of nine I guess, but definitely showing promise

Hi Waluin,

Good to see someone else having a go - pretty good score too, the ones you got correct were :


1) You got the day right for Australia Day, but it has been going a lot longer than 5 or 6 years .
2) Melbourne,
4) Moon Landing - near enough
5) Near Perth, Yup
9) Roy and HG have issues LOL - you can say that again

The sport questions would be very hard for a non Aussies or Brit - the Gatting Ball is a piece of cricket legend - you have never seen a person more confused about what just happened than poor old Mr Gatting when he got bowled out by Shane Warne .

So definitely a pass there matey

5 and a half out of nine there Sylent - gee, it gets bad when a Pom (Hi Donut ) gets more right than anyone else (including an Aussie ).
Thanks for giving it a go.

LOL - be not ashamed - that Donut dude is a pretty knowledgabale character for an Englishman (just don't tell him I said so ). And of course you scored more than Lioness. Let me just total her score here now.... Lioness, you scored ummmm...... a globe, zip, blot, naught, or as we Aussies say, BUGGER ALL, the same number of gold medals that the Kiwi's had in the first 10 days of the Olympics . ell this is my 500th post, so I am about to become other than a Zhentarim Guard .
