Nyder's Fiendish Festive Quiz 2013

[Nyder]

The answers are coming in thick & fast now. But are they all correct?? Still loads of time to get your answers in - you've got till Monday night. I'll publish the answers to the Sunday & Monday questions on Tuesday morning.

[Dirk Gently]

I thought I said I was playing my joker today?


Answer possibly soon-ish. :/ Just have to play it another 30 times.

[Nyder]

Thanks for all your answers so far. Gosh I wasn't expecting that many considering it's a Sunday so I'm chuffed! Still plenty of time to answer for those who haven't yet tried!

And I've been sent two lots of pre-empted joker days in secret. The plot thickens....

[Nyder]

Welcome to Day 2. Two jokers are being played today, but I can't tell you who by because I'd have to kill you!

It's another Who-themed question, and we're celebrating those Target novelisations that we all know and love. But do we really know them? Which TV story is this passage from? Yes I've been really mean and blurred one of the characters out! PM me when you've worked it out!

[Rob McCow]

You left one of the other characters in though - helps narrow it down?

[Dirk Gently]

Narrows it down, narrows it down.

[Stuart Wallis]

Obviously not Echoes Of The Doctor then...

[Nyder]

Narrows it down, narrows it down.

Talking of narrow - your inbox is full Tim! You may want to trim it down before submitting your answer tomorrow!

[Dirk Gently]

Yeah, Sorry. I made space. I don't like to delete stuff, it might be important.

[Nyder]

Not wishing to put any pressure on, but our two secret jokers did rather well today ....

First reveal of the scores will be after Day 4 answers have been calculated.

In the meantime ... still loads of time to enter Day 2 ... you've got till about 6:30am Tuesday morning - that's when I'll reveal Sun & Mon answers and post the Day 3 question. It's all go!!

[Nyder]

We have 12 players taking part now - Hoorah! Still not too late to join in the fun :-)

[Nyder]

Morning! Answer to Q1 was The Mutants, and it was Turlough who I obscured (sorry about that lovey!) from this book:-


Well done to all who got that right, and commiserations to those who didn't quite! Q3 coming up in a tic...

[Nyder]

Day 3

No-one is playing their jokers today. Maybe it's just as well as it's a non-Who day! So, the question is, who is this?

[Nyder]

Thanks for all the answers so far for Day 3. Still loads of time to participate. You don't get extra points for knowing middle names though. Nobody likes a smartarse!

It's bonus day tomorrow - 3 points up for grabs. Don't miss your chance to bag some valuable scores!!

[Andrew Curnow]

Before I forget, can I play my jokers on 17th, 18th & 24th please Dave? For no other significance than that they are three of my favourite Who seasons!

[Nyder]

You certainly can Andrew - I hope the seasons are lucky for you :-)

[Nyder]

Yesterday's photo was not Richard Burton. Neither was it Derren Nesbitt or Rick Astley. I do worry about you lot sometimes! It was in fact a young JAMES MASON.

[Nyder]

Day 4

It's back to the Who Target books. Or more precisely, the covers! There's a close up of 3 covers here. A point for every one you get right. However, Nyder's been a bit sneaky - one is upside down! Good luck!

[Philipnet]

I'm really enjoying this so far


So having said that, I expect tomorrow's will stump me good and proper!


Nyder, are you planning on posting the running scores at various points throughout the quiz?

[Nyder]

I certainly am Phil - first scores out tomorrow!

[Jonno]

I'll play my jokers on the 8th, 18th and 20th please.

Rick Astley!

[Nyder]

Looks like we all had fun with the Target covers today. But the big question is - who will be King of the Current Castle when the scores are released tomorrow?

Tomorrow there's even MORE points available - 4 of them!!! You're going to have to work hard though....

[SiHart]

Ooh! It's terribly exciting!

[Nyder]

Well it seems one of those pesky covers caught some of you out. Had lots of suggestions that The Tenth Planet was in there somewhere. The actual answers were:-

With Curse of Pel upside down! Scores are on their way...

[Nyder]

So here are the scores on Nyder's Advent Doors:-


Well done Richard!

Day 5 coming up shortly ... I need my breakfast first - and Crossroads!
