This is kind of a mini event going on at Elegance of Fashion that will last for one week. This is the Period Drama Trivia Challenge, a 50 question trivia quiz. Anyone can play, but few will win.
How to Play (Please Read)
- Answer as many of the questions as you can in a comment on this post. I will not publish your answers until the event is over. I will comment your score and which questions you missed in this post once I have graded your answers. I suggest subscribing this this post so you don't forget to see how you scored.
- Players may answer as many times as they want, so if you want to guess, you can.
- You can also split up your answers in multiple comments if you wish (for instance, you can answer 10 now, 10 later, 10 even later, etc.)
- The top three winners will receive a button 200 x 200 pixels. With your answers (or in a separate comment if you forgot to put it with your answers), say if you would like your name/username or blog name on your button and which character from a period drama you would like pictured.
- I will accept answers until Tuesday, October 23rd at 11:55 PM Central Time.

Hi Lizzy! I was just think I might not have mentioned it before but an Anne of Green Gables or Anne Of Avonlea button would be nice. And it should probably say "Miss Laurie of OFC".
DeleteMiss Dashwood,
ReplyDeleteYou have gotten 26 1/2 correct! Your guesses for 9, half of 12, 25, 43, and 49 were incorrect (but you were close on 49, but I need a name). I also need a name for 27. If you would like to try again on those and answer questions 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 18, 19, 20, 24, 26, 29, 30, 34, 38, 40, 42, 44, and 47. Yes, 24 was hard; I wouldn't blame you if you looked it up: not quite sure how I remember... ;-P
Melody,
You got 27 correct! (14 was just fine the way it was). You can still guess on 7 - 13, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30, 34, 38, 40, 42, 43, 47, and 49. For 20, it was very briefly mentioned.

That was such fun!

I don't really care about the character but the He Knew He Was Right questions were fun so what about a button featuring Rev. Gibson (with or without his wife is fine). :)
Once again I feel glad that I play these games to just have fun...because I usually mostly flop. ;) But hey, I have an awesome time. Here goes!

Miss Laurie,
ReplyDeleteYou got 40 questions correct! Your second guess on 23 was correct. The questions you got wrong are 10 (but you were on the right track with the comment afterwards), 30 (but right actor *Wives and Daughters reference*), 38, and 42 (I recommend it, but there are some scenes/themes in there to be aware of). You can also answer in addition to the ones you got wrong 7, 8, 20, 24, 34, and 47.
Charity,
You got 12 questions correct! The first answer you gave in 23 was correct. If you want to provide a name for 19, I'll give you credit. You can also answer 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 - 18, 20 - 22, 24 - 27, 29, 33, 34, 37 - 44, 47, and 50.
Kiri Liz,
You got 16 correct! You got 1, 23, 39, and 43 wrong. You can reanswer those and also answer 4, 5, 7 - 13, 15 - 19, 24 - 27, 29, 30, 34, 37, 38, 40 - 42, 44, 47, 49, and 50.

Bessy! That's what it was. Bessy Higgins, right? (For 29. Heehee.)
ReplyDeleteMelody,
ReplyDeleteI think your question is off by one. I think you mean 28? :-)
HAHAHA. I did indeed. ;) Oopsie. Did I say 29 or 27? If the former it was probably because that was one of the other numbers I'd written down to come back to (although I doubt I'm going to remember it), and if 27 I daresay that was in my mind because that's how many points I have. Haha.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
Then you did get the question right! :-D Your score is now 28.
