Managed 8 correct in a few mins (without cheating!). 3 wrong! Still, that's an A by university essay standards! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 MI5 are on the phone as I managed to track the quiz down and get a full house. I've ordered the Aston Martin Vulcan and just having a word with the wife about a Martini. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejstubbs Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Something to keep you amused over tea/coffee! Unless you speak Russian, in which case, this ought to be easy! You don't need to be able to speak Russian, so long as you can read the Cyrillic alphabet - a lot of the place and street names are simply transliterations from Roman in to Cyrillic (they seem to have had fun transliterating Regents Park!) Although a bit of general knowledge comes in handy too, like knowing that part of Copenhagen is called Christianshavn (which is also potentially confusing, since Christiania is an old name for Oslo - and gives its name to the stem christie ski turn, allegedly). The quiz was actually published a while ago. When I clicked on the link in the OP, it still had my original answers highlighted! 10/11 in case you were wondering: I got the last one wrong, which is daft because the main railway station is clearly marked "ТОКИО" (although using the "u" form of the "И" character).

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted April 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2018 11/11 so I'm waiting for the knock on the door. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Woah! 11/11!!! Knowing my railways helped with one that I might not have got otherwise: I was struggling with one where a water feature is... a touch misleading when I thought"hang on, that's just like the route configuration around Mission Tower". And it was. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 57xx Posted April 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2018 Apparently I got 10/11. I never even been on the page before but it seems to be caching someone else's answers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted April 28, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2018 I got 404 too. Which is a pity as I would have enjoyed doing it. I got 404 too at first but when I tried again I got through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
