This competition closes at 23:59:59 hrs tomorrow. If you still want to submit an entry, do it NOW! $:-\$

Eyeshield

This competition is now CLOSED. A big thank you to all 7 of you who entered, and to HStorm for providing the questions. For answers, results and the next set of Knightmare QI questions, look out for the next issue of The Eye Shield, coming your way very soon.

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...

What was the chant used by Lillith in series 1 and 2 to summon her magic causeway?
Who conquered Dunshelm in the first Knightmare book?
Which dungeoneer was the first to use a trapdoor to change levels?
Which was the final wall monster to appear on the programme?
Who was the final character to be seen on Knightmare?
Who was the first female member of a winning team to speak on Knightmare?
What does this sequence signify? (Look back to the previous set of questions if you want a big clue!) ISS, ISS, XEL, ISS, AME, EZE, IRE, OES, ISS, ERO, BAG, ISS, NGE, ISS, AME, ISS.
What is the title of the first Knightmare book?
What is the final spell that is cast in the traditional manner (by spelling it out) on Knightmare?
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!

Eyeshield

Well, our early leader is martinharder2000 with a score of 2. Get those entries in!

Eyeshield

I've just noticed that the somewhat suprising answer to one of the early questions is actually printed in one of the sections of the latest issue of the fanzine, as clear as day! This is not deliberate, but you might want to bear it in mind.

Eyeshield

We have a new leader - HStorm, the founder of this phenomenon! 15 is now the score to beat.

TheMightyMartin

Sigh There goes my "unbeatable" lead.

Eyeshield

Two weeks left now, just in case anyone's still interested in entering.

This competition is now CLOSED. A big thank-you to all seven of you who entered - find out the results in the next issue of The Eye Shield, coming soon.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Eye Shield presents the fourth round of Knightmare QI. PM me your answers by Friday August 24th 2007, and you could be the next Knightmare QI champion! Be warned – a few of these questions have what appear at first to be very obvious answers, but there is more to them if you stop and think. (Well, that is the whole point, isn’t it?) Don’t let your guard down and hit a cliché!

What was the name of Treguard’s second assistant?
How many dungeoneers met Lord Fear in person (not including just his hand, or appearances on the television screen in the antechamber) during their quests?
Which is the odd elf out? VELDA, PICKLE, ELITA.
Who was the first character to say the word “Dunshelm” on the programme?
On how many television channels in the UK has Knightmare been shown?
Who was the first dungeoneer to reach the wellway chamber at the end of level two?
Greystagg’s full title was “Queen of the…” what?
Motley was absent from how many episodes during his extended break?
In terms of the number of episodes from the start of the first series in which they were due to appear, which Knightmare character took the greatest amount of time to make their first appearance on the programme?
During how many quests in series 7 do we get to see the firebomb room?

And there we have it. Remember, for each question, a correct answer earns you one point, identifying the cliché earns you a further point, and there are two bonus points available for supplying some Quite Interesting supplementary information. Again, there is one question without a cliché – spot this fact to earn your bonus cliché point for that question. This time, there is another new rule -- any unanswered questions will incur a penalty of two points each! An effective tactic that has been employed on occasion in the past is to answer only one or two questions, thereby ensuring that no clichés are hit, which has been a fair enough ploy, but this time things are tougher! Of course, if you’re struggling with one particular question, but are fairly sure that you have scored full marks on all the others, maybe you think you can afford to lose two measly little points – it’s up to you to decide what risks to take, and how many points to risk!

This competition CLOSES at 23:59:59 tonight. My sincere thanks to my loyal 6 entrants for taking another punt at this, and I hope you'll all check out the forthcoming issue of The Eye Shield for answers and results.

Who is the odd one out? Pickle, Majida, Motley, Merlin, Hordriss, Treguard.

According to Knightmare lore, who was the heir to the throne by right of Norman/Angevin descent at the time of Richard the Lionheart’s death?
Who is the odd one out? Barry Thorn, Greg Armstrong, Jason Karl, Sylvester Hands, Dunstan Roberts.
What was the total number of levels completed by champion teams throughout Knightmare?
What was the total number of episodes of Knightmare produced by Tim Child?

And there we have it. Remember, for each question, a correct answer earns you one point, identifying the cliché earns you a further point, and there are two bonus points available for supplying some Quite Interesting supplementary information. Thanks again for the questions, HStorm.

HStorm

No worries. It's kind of fun dreaming up questions for this, although I must admit I'm running out of ideas for them. Maybe someone new can work out a list of questions for KMQI VI?

(Of questionable relevance I know, but I'm running another QI quiz on another forum - http://thegreatcritic.proboards24.com/index.cgi?board=miscell&action=display&thread=1131911687&page=2

It's not Knightmare-related, just General Knowledge, but please join in if you're interested.)

Eyeshield

Don't worry about TES running out of QI questions in the near future - I've got A LOT in the pipeline!

Eyeshield

Just in case anyone's still interested in entering, I'd like to point out that this competition CLOSES tomorrow night at 23:59:59. For answers and results, check out TES issue 49 on New Year's Day.

Merry Christmas to everyone in Knightmare Land from The Eye Shield fanzine.

The Eye Shield fanzine presents the sixth round of Knightmare QI. The following questions have been devised by current Knightmare QI champion Liam Callaghan, with a few suggestions from me here and there. (As I’m feeling kind, here’s one last tip for you – watch the wording!)

How many times did a quest come to a natural end (i.e. not including getting cut short for the end of the series) at the end of an episode of Knightmare?
In which series did all the dungeoneers perish?
Who was the first dungeoneer to make a pact with Hordriss that involved retrieving an object for him in exchange for magic?
Which is the last quest to feature part of the original life force clock?
Who was the first dungeoneer to cross the Dunswater in exchange for a bar of gold or silver?
During which quest was Hordriss first seen?
Which was the final dungeoneer to go head-to-head against Mogdred?
Which is the first dungeoneer to be presented with the eye shield at the start of their quest?
How many dungeoneers (of the ones who met a wall monster in series 1-3, and yes, that does include Brangwen, as well as Golgarach, Granitas, Igneous and Olgarth) failed to answer at least one wall monster question correctly? (I.e. they failed to venture ANY correct answers whatsoever.)
Who was the first dungeoneer to converse with Smirkenorff?

E-mail eyeshield2002@hotmail.com or PM me your answers by Sunday February 17th 2008, and you could be our next Knightmare QI champion!

Remember, for each question, a correct answer earns you one point, identifying the cliché earns you a further point, and there are two bonus points available for supplying some Quite Interesting supplementary information. Don’t forget to watch out for those clichés – each one you hit will decrease your score by at least ten points, so be careful!
