Thursday's Quizzes (09/02/17)

My brother turned 19 on Thursday. This shouldn't make me feel old, but oh boy...

Movies At the Half-Hour Mark

Before I talk about the quiz, go to the profile page of 'Year_of_Glad' and read their bio. It's particularly hilarious if you know your Simpsons Quotes.

Aaand we're back. This is a quiz that will call your bluff if you claim to have seen a movie but didn't actually watch it properly, as the assortment of movie scenes at 30 minutes in is random at best. That being said, if you don't guess which one is 'Ghostbusters', we can't be friends.

Minimalist Cartoons

I've not come across 'Stanford0008' too often, but they've clearly had a big impact on the site with 36 Publishes and nearly 3.5 million Created Quiz Plays. This is a clever quiz with well-known Film and TV characters turned into near-unrecognisable blocks of colour. If you recognise them all, you'll do better than me: I somehow failed to spot the last three characters were from Wreck-It Ralph. I may need fixing, Felix!

Mirrored Europe

Imagine the continent of Europe inverted on an axis, if you will. Would you still know your Andorra from your Albania, or your Serbia from your Slovakia? 'petenge', Curator for Judaism, challenges you to prove this with a quiz that will make you look twice at a globe and think, "That can't be right..."

Race to Statehood A-Z

Curator for 'Young Adult' and 'Church', '11Joe28', has paid my quizzes compliments, so why wouldn't I pay him back in full? This is a quiz that takes the slightly worn-down concept of State quizzes and gives it a reboot by making you consider: which ones got made a state first? Of course, in the case of letters such as 'F', 'G' and 'H', it's a no-brainer, but 'N' and 'M' might just leave you furrowing your brow for a while. I'm pretty sure it's one of the best History quizzes I've played this year.

9-Letter Animals by Image by 'RobPro' (Former Geography Editor)
Agatha Christie Novels by Any Word by 'xantspectro' (Curator for Automobiles and Thanksgiving)
Country by 3 States II by 'nspyred' (Curator for Numbers)
Gaming Anagrams by 'beforever' (Current Geography Editor)
Harry Potter Mis-Matches by 'CCCP' (93rd Publish)
The Following Program is Not Suitable for Children by 'Tolkienite' (32nd Publish)
Word Ladder: Laundry Detergents by 'Magnavox' (whose quizzes are well worth a look)
British TV Comedy Shows (A-Z) by 'kfastic' (again, an outstanding quizmaker)
Quick Pick: Computer Terms by 'PrincessMartell' (check out her Doctor Who quizzes)

A good friend of mine features in Friday's Quizzes review, coming soon!

Thanks for reading, now it's time for this man to start sleeping...
