Knightmare QI
-
How come you only got 3 points, then?
I hope you'll enter the next Knightmare QI in the upoming issue of TES, Pooka. I'm slightly worried that no one will.
I only got 3 because I got the spell question wrong. I was trying to be clever and assumed DISMISS would be the cliché, in that I thought advisors would be taught how to spellcast pretty much from the very start!
And yes, I'll enter.

I've got four entrants so far. This response has been so pleasing that I have written another QI quiz for the next issue of TES - thanks for setting the ball rolling on this phenomenon, HStorm.
The next round is designed to be a bit easier than the current one, which I must admit to finding incredibly tough when HStorm first sent me the questions.
The deadline for this round is Friday April 20th 2007, so there's still plenty of time to get those entries in.

Entries seem to have dried up a bit (well, completely) in the past week, so I've decided to post the questions on here too, in the hopes that more Knightmare fans will see them and want to answer them. Enter the competition and you could win a fabulous prize - pride! PM me your answers, or e-mail eyeshield2002@hotmail.com by Friday 20th April 2007.
The rules as explained by quiz author HStorm: If you give a correct answer, you get one point. You get up to two bonus points if you can embellish a correct answer with some Quite Interesting supplementary details. If you give a wrong, but unusual, answer, you’ll get zero points for it. Give an answer that is not only wrong, but is also clichéd and pathetically obvious, and you will lose at least ten points.

We now have a new leader, in the shape of my fellow member of the newly-formed "Seeing Eye spells are pointless" club, Drassil. Congratulations, Drassil, on achieving a phenomenal score of 16, which is fully two thirds of the 24 available marks. Can anyone better this feat? If you're out there, you've got less than 3 weeks to do it!

Thank you.
Perhaps more people would enter if I offered them a T-shirt...
Quite possibly! Though the quiz is tricky, and unlikely to be everyone's cup of tea. Likewise, Knightmare and QI themselves are the kind of shows which many people love to watch but would never want to participate in. So I wouldn't take it personally. Plus, not everybody's a cat person, so winning a group of lions wouldn't... oh, hang on.
Enter the competition and you could win a fabulous prize - pride!
Oh. I thought you said a pride. My mistake. Better put the gazelles on eBay.

Okay, here it is, the third mind-bending round of Knightmare QI! PM me your answers, or e-mail them to eyeshield2002@hotmail.com, by Friday 22nd June and you could be the next TES Knightmare QI champion!
By the way, please feel free to answer as many or as few of the questions as you feel you want to - if you're not a fan of the Knightmare books, for example, you may want to miss some questions out. Obviously, the more questions you answer, the more points you can potentially get, but the greater the risk of answering with a cliche! On that note...

Which is the only piece of Knightmare canon (TV series and books) not to feature Treguard as a character?
Remember, a correct answer earns you one point, an interesting but wrong answer earns you nil points, and a cliché answer loses you at least ten points. You can earn up to two bonus points for each question by supplying some Quite Interesting supplementary information. I am also offering an extra bonus point for correctly identifying the cliché (or, in one case, identifying the fact that there is no cliché) in addition to supplying the correct answer, so there are four points on offer for each question. By the way, most of these questions are designed to be slightly (but only slightly) easier than the last lot – there are no trick questions, if you know your stuff!

Sigh There goes my "unbeatable" lead.
