I thought this up myself.



Here's how it works. Write a quiz that is based on your interests. Presumably at least some of the people on your friends list share at least some of your interests, but possibly nobody shares all of them. Post the quiz on LJ. Wait for your friends to answer the quiz. After a few days, post the answers. While it may well be the case that nobody was able to answer all of your questions, perhaps they can collectively answer all of them. Then wait for your friends to post their own version.

About 20 questions should do it. Remember - the questions should be about things that you are interested in, or which affect your life somehow.

No cheating when answering. You aren't allowed to look the answers up on or offline.

One more thing. The final question should be a difficult one.

Here's mine.

1. What is the icon in this post?
2. Where is Iriomote?
3. What event is being described here?
"Can Manchester United score? They always score.
SHERINGHAM!!!
Name on the trophy!...
...Beckham...into Sheringham...AND SOLSKJAER HAS WON IT!!!
Manchester United have reached the promised land!"
4. How heavy is Vila?
5. Which famous artist said this?
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."
6. Which sumo wrestler holds the record for most career wins in the top (makuuchi) division?
7. How many Oscars have been won by the various actresses who played Queen Amidala's handmaids in Star Wars Episode 1?
8. If you stand at the Citadel of Xajorkith, and look north, what do you see?
9. Alyx Vance appears in which computer game?
10. What sporting event is being described here?
"It's a pile of shit, this race, it's a whole pile of shit ... You're working like an animal, you don't have the time to piss and you wet your pants ... You're riding in mud like this and you're slipping and ... it's a pile of shit, you must clean yourself otherwise you will go mad ... "
"Will you ever ride it again?"
"Sure, it's the most beautiful race in the world!"
11. Who shot JR? (the first time)
12. Dulinor's attack on Research Station Omicron caused the accidental release of what?
13. Who is the officer in charge of Sun Hill CID?
14. The AIU regulates which industry?
15. What rank did Thrawn hold in the Imperial Fleet, as denoted by his white uniform?
16. What is written on the barrel of Bullet-Tooth Tony's gun in 'Snatch'?
17. What is the name of the Free Trader sending a distress signal on the cover of the original Traveller boxed set?
18. What relation is Galadriel to Elrond?
19. What is the price that Hile Troy pays to gain the forestal's help to win the battle at Garroting Deep?
20. (This is the tricky question). I want you to give me the name of the commentator:
"The ball, flipped forward, is loose. A wild scramble. Two seconds on the clock. Casper grabbing the ball. It is ruled a fumble. Casper has recovered in the end zone. The Oakland Raiders have scored on the most zany, unbelievable, absolutely impossible dream of a play. Madden is on the field. He wants to know if it's real. They said yes, get your big butt out of here. He does! There's nothing real in the world anymore. The Raiders have won the football game."

5 and 18 are correct. 20 isn't (but at least you have the right sport and the right era).


Two down, eighteen to go.

Hmph. I can attempt precisely 2 of those questions and The Marquis has already answered one of them i.e. no. 18. Though if I could elaborate on the answer, as well as being mother in law which is the main relationship Galadriel is also a cousin of Elrond's on both his mother and his father's side, several times removed either way.

On 19, Hile Troy has to become a forestal himself. Which I always thought was a shame as he made a much better hero than Thomas Covenant. Or maybe I was missing the point of those books?

3) A football match
5) Picasso?

17. You know - that's a good question. I suppose that would make sense.

7. Er... One? (Sofia Coppola), though Keira Knightly got a nomination. Do you count "Padme" as one of the hand-maidens? If so, count in another nomination for Natalie Portman.

From: [identity profile] philmophlegm.livejournal.com
Oh very, very good. I'm impressed anyone got this one. Sofia Coppola and Keira Knightley played two of Amidala's handmaidens. Knightley and Natalie Portman have both received Oscar nominations, as has Coppola (best director for Lost in Translation), but Coppola is the only one to have actually won, again for Lost in Translation, for which she won the best original screenplay Oscar.

I wouldn't have known it had I not been a totally obsessive fan of episode 1 in the 6 months or so leading up to its release. I devoured every snippet of news about the production, got all the behind the scenes books etc.

Shame about the actual film...

Ugrently need your help!
