Friday's Quizzes (11/02/17)

Hello there! Back from a fun (but gloomy) day out at Oxford, it's back to the matter at hand...

Disease or Mineral?

This is the first Publish for a new Curator on the block: 'JeluPotter25', Curator for Literary Character, and a good friend of mine (we became Curators around the same time). This quiz is something of a curveball, as most of their quizzes stem from the Literature or Gaming categories, but it's a welcome diversion as this is definitely one of the trickiest they've made. Especially if you don't know your minerals...

'New' States Multiple Choice
Editor for Music, 'DesertSpartan', is a Sporcler with over 3 million CQPs (compared to my 100,000 thousand) and definitely comes into the category of "Big Hitters". This quiz aptly demonstrates why, with the four US states with 'New' in their name put you through your paces. Do you know which one became a state first, or which one's the biggest by area? Because if not, full marks may well evade you for some time...

What's in a Shakespearean Name?
The multi-tasking abilities of 'pdigoe' are quite something: one of the few Curators to preside over three different subcategories (National Holiday, Show and Sports Teams in case you were wondering), they're also capable of making some fine quizzes like this one on the definitions that some names have acquired. Do you know which name also means the client of a prostitute? And, perhaps more questioningly, why do you know that?

Find the 'A' Countries
I'll keep my review on this quiz by 'teedslaststand' brief.

I will find you, Antigua and Barbuda. And I will kill you.
