Fun time: Try my Police trivia quiz!

So the other day I needed some stress relief and created a super-tough Police trivia quiz. Want to see how well you score? Check it out via this link:

Warning - this is TOUGH! It's 20 questions long and some of the questions may require Dietmar-levels of knowledge to get right. ;) In fact if you score 50% or better my hat's off to you.

I got 3 wrong. I hang my head in shame. And to think that halfway through I was thinking about ways to wind you up because I thought it was so easy

I see that Mario fell for my little trolling bit. I actually got not only a perfect score, but answered the 12 bonus questions correctly and the super hidden genious question. I was then redirected to the mensa page where I am now on the board of directors. For shame Mario, for shame

I scored 9 or 45%.
I'm happy with that.

That was fun Sockii, a bit of light relief after a long and knackering day.

I see Alex fell for my double trolling bit, I'm not only on the board of directors but now I scored a perfect 100% on the triple platinum hidden page reserved for those who got a perfect score in less that 27.8 secs on questions about the lost uncle of "Henry the Corsican". So sorry Alex! LOL Greetings from your Brazilian friend!

I'll have to do a "Round Two" some time for the true Masters of The (Police) Universe out there...

I cheated on one (Peter Gabriel - mentally I add Copeland to the entire album), so 16/20. It's scary how much trivia a brain can hold on to for decades! The bit of my noggin that can answer the US venue question correctly should probably be reallocated to remembering to pay my electricity bill on time...

I got 16/20, too! It was the British venues that gave me trouble. And, yeah, I did the quiz first, then paid the overdue phone bill I had overlooked last month. I think I need to prioritize both my time and my gray matter usage.
Thanks for the fun stuff, sockii.

:oops: how embarrising! Only got 7 right. Probably because I didn't read Sting's book.

14/20 but it should have been 15/20 because I knew EBYT was their only #1 but just clicked on the first Answer I saw with that started with Every

Of the other questions I got wrong, almost all of them related to Sting (the name of his movie character, the Arcadia album, his job in the early days). Also got the Philly question wrong. I think Sockii and Vespapod had an unfair advantage on that one. :) (also got the question on the So Lonely video wrong, but at least I knew it was in an Asian country)

I got 17. I should have gotten the So Lonely video one but I second guessed myself :-(

I knew Grendel's Lair because a little bird told me that one!

I remember that EBYT was #1 because I listened to Kasey Kasem's American Top Forty EVERY WEEK that summer until it was bumped by the Eurythmics. I probably should have gotten out more back then :-)

Craig told me he got all 20. He agrees with me he needs to get out more ;-)
