Where In The World Wednesday 12th March 2025 - 10 days ago
Where In The World Wednesday 12th March 2025. Please can someone remind me of Wednesday's answer please. I was totally stumped and know I got it wrong. This city, which has a connection with the picture, is a major Mediterranean seaport and its name ends in a vowel. The Ancient Greeks settled on the site of the city around 7th-6th century BC and a Panathenaic amphora from that period hasby Pippin - UK Forum

Yes - Merian C. Cooper seems to have worked on several newspapers in between his military service but not as editor and none that Allister Haddon Sparks was editor for. Still - I now know who created King Kong, if that should ever come up in another quizby Pippin - UK Forum

I've got the town but I just can't get the newspaper that the journalist (I know who that is) and the creator of King Kong (I know who that is too) both worked for. If you know, please let me know tomorrow, when this question is over. Ta. Pippinby Pippin - UK Forum

Monday's Question (26th August):- I looked forward to finding out the answer today as this question really foxed me. I had submitted Chicago in the end.

Roade - Where In The World - Friday - 7 months ago
Just as a matter of interest, what was the name of the pub in Roade in Friday's Where In The World, please. This village, which has a connection with the picture, lies around 15 miles from a place associated with Alan Turing and other clever people. A cricketer who played for his county and country and who died aged 57 was raised in the village. A pub in the village has an animal name whichby Pippin - General Competition Chat
The Finish Line - 8 months ago
Hi folks. Just in case anyone out there watches TV quizzes, I'd just like to tell you that I'm on 'The Finish Line' on Monday afternoon. I filmed it at BBC Belfast back in January and it was due to be aired on 22nd May but at that same moment, Rishi Sunak announced the General Election so I got postponed. So it's now going to be on the telly on Monday 15th July on BBC1by Pippin - Off Topic Forum

Re: Sport of Kings - 10 months ago
I just randomly enter ticks as well. I enjoy working out the other puzzles though. I don't know if you remember me, Deborah. I've not been on this site since 2018 when I literally entered everything. I've decided to try my hand again. Am I right in thinking that it's the same Treasure Hunt in 'Our Competitions' that's been there for years and never actuallyby Pippin - General Competition Chat

Re: Daily Quiz - January - 6 years ago
When the monthly winner is announced for the Daily Quiz competition (the general knowledge quiz), the answers are listed but not the questions. Therefore people can't check how they went on. I do make a note of all questions and my answers on a daily basis and then check them off at the end of the month because quizzing is my hobby.

Question 18 caught me out this month:- 18. Who is the odd one out ? Michelangelo, Botticelli, Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael? I answered Raphael because he was the only one not to be born in the Republic of Florence. Answer was Botticelli because he was not a teenage mutant ninja turtleby Pippin - General Competition Chat
