The evolution Quiz

Rules: PM answers to me, first person to get all ten answers correct wins and gets to compose the next quiz. The quizmaster (ie the person that wrote the quiz) has final say on the answer to any question. You can post your answers here, however they won't count towards winning the quiz. The moderation team reserve the right to censor or modify any question that is considered to be inappropriate or against the forum or invisionfree rules.


Also questions are not allowed to be codes (looking at you Kami) and if no one is able to solve a quiz after a week the person that gets the most questions right is the winner (and if two people get the same number right then the person who submits theirs first wins).

Dude I don't know any of those.

I assumed people knew how to google when I formulated those questions... and I expect they'll get much harder from here.

EDIT: I can find the answers to all of those except question 1 and 3 in about 15 seconds (each) on google. So if you've got no idea it shouldn't take you very long.

NOTE: I modified question 6 slightly because I discovered some ambiguity.

I didn't know we were allowed to cheat, because really, this isn't a quiz if we just go and get the answers off google.

What's the point of googling the answers? I thought this was a quiz of knowledge?

EDIT: What Nirv said.

Yeah, but it's kinda hard to enforce a rule like that. I'm sure if I said "no googling" some nub would just go off and google anyway and just said they knew the answers. So I figure it's better to allow everyone to google and thus negate the probability of people cheating.

I think I know questions 1,2,3,4,6,7,10 off the top of my head. 5, 8 and 9 don't look hard to find the answers to either. My brother has banned me from the quiz though :cry:

Note: when I say "off the top of my head" - part of the reason for that is that I debated some of the answers to these earlier with Texta, so I wouldn't have known the answers if it wasn't for that. I think question 1 is probably the hardest one to find the answer to although I'm sure you could guess pretty well if you look at who played in that particular game.

Not quick enough on your feet for the "You're not the boss of me!" retort eh? :P

lol, well I could write all the answers and pm them to him, but he'd ignore my pm and I could post them all this topic, but that would destroy the quiz and nobody would win - so I figure it's best to just not enter like he says. Hopefully somebody will get them all right soon and I can enter in the next quiz. I shot him with a rubberband though. Actually I was cooking and I took the rubberband off some shallots, commando rolled out of the kitchen and fired from 15 feet, hitting him in the head - so it was definitely worth not being able to enter ;)

For Question 6, Walt Disney was a Nazi wasn't he?
