I have just had a go at the Hillclimb Quiz and the following question came up: "What is Peggy Woolley's maiden name?" The multiple choice answers offered "Archer"; "Perkins" and "Fairbrother". I clicked "Perkins" and got the red cross indicating an incorrect answer.
I was right, surely?
Of course you were right Gene. She was Mrs Perkins' daughter. Whoever set the quiz is probably getting confused because she was an Archer (Jack Archer's widow) before she married Jack Woolley.
She was actually married to two Mr Perkinses; the second one took her off on honeymoon to Venice. c/lx
sorry, not Peggy; I meant Mrs. P. But Peggy was a Perkins all right. Sorry, my confusion, and I haveen't touched a drop.c/l
Yes, no doubt about it. Peggy's maiden surname was Perkins. How the question setter managed to get this wrong I can't imagine.
Oh no, I've found another one! "Who or what is Titcombe?" Apparently the answer is not "An old retainer at Lower Loxley"!
Grrrrr!

Hi all
I'll let them know there's a problem with the quiz.
Thanks

Titcombe (n) comb-like device for removing tits from hair (from ME 'tyt', 'titte', irritating person)

Hi all
The quiz should now be fixed if anyone wants to give it a test run, please do
Tayler
Many thanks, Tayler. Your assistance is very much appreciated.
I tried the question "Where are the South Borset Hunt hounds kept?" and clicked on Netherbourne Hall and it came up wth a red cross.
Surely the supposed right answer is NOT Borchester Woolmarket?
Apparently Lynda's dog is called Hermes.
And Marjorie didn't give her money for Cameron to invest.
"You said you didn't answer this question
Wrong"
?

One of the Hiil Climb current questions is - What did Matt buy Lynda for her birthday? This should be Lilian not Lynda!
