QuizList

Nothing much new in London, so have a look at the ‘quiz scene’ in the south-west (link on the right), as evidenced by the healthy number of quizzes in Newquay and its surroundings.

There is some demand (ie PH) for a return to QL’s quizplayer profiles, whereby quizzers in turn would identify themselves, list their best and worst quizzes and quiz questions, best co-players, and attempt to be funny (or taciturn) in their replies.  If you are interested in taking part and seeing your preferences on QL (oo-er missus), let me know.  I’ll come up with a format soon…

As regards ’13 questions’, today’s the day for the final clue, and if you want to start solving, remember the solution is a place, the odd-numbered clues provide a more obscure clue and the even-numbered clues give you a fact about the place.

Here come the clues again, with number of letters in appropriate cases:

1. Is no-one in charge here? (2, 4, 4)
2. Divisible by nine.
3. Influential early 1970s hit single. (1, 2, 5)
4. Could be the source of a famous present.
5. Controversial drama. (3, 6, 2, 7)
6. Thought to be named afer a neighbouring people who settled the area a long time ago.
7. Minority European language. (7)
8. May face an uncertain future because of question marks over its biggest industry.
9. Which way will the cat jump? (11)
10.  A picture of somewhere in the location (look back on the post entitled ’13 Questions II’)
11.  The Governor spent a long time looking for him (5, 3)
12.  Held possessions in Africa up to the nineteenth century.
13.  We were told that there would be no return to this (4, 3, 4)
