Here’s a new variation of quiz based on the show Impossible. In case you haven’t seen the show, below are the names of nine countries. How it works is that I make two connected statements A and B. Three of the names satisfy both A and B. Three of the names only satisfy A and the remaining three do not satisfy A. You get three guesses to identify the names that satisfy both A and B and score one point for each. If you guess a name that only satisfies A you get no points but if you guess a name that does not satisfy A (an impossible answer) you get minus one point. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.

I’m where yesterday follows today and tomorrow occurs between them. What am I?

Below is a list in random order of 10 TV children’s programmes that featured puppets or suchlike. Your challenge is to place them in the order in which they were first shown on British TV – starting with the earliest. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.


REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to midnight tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.

Do you know or can you guess who I was sketching here? Initial(s) and asterisks only and please no clues until later in the day to give everyone a chance.

I have identified 35 six letter words that begin and end with an “e” and which might be reasonably likely to arise in ordinary conversation/discussion or in fiction or non-fiction books etc. Your challenge is to name as many of the 35 words as you can for one point each. I am aware that there are a number of valid words and you can list as many as you like - but only ones in my list of 35 of the commonest will count. Proper nouns/words that begin with a capital letter and hyphenated words or words containing apostrophes or slang words are not allowed. Foreign words will count provided they are in common use in English language. It would be a great help to me in checking entries if you can list your words in alphabetical order. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.

This belongs to you, but everyone else uses it. What is it?

Computer's working again - let's hope it holds out until I get the new one up and running. Today’s challenge involves identifying the countries whose current names were derived as indicated in the clues. Some fairly obvious but others may be more difficult. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.
