BBC Proms - The 2014 Guardian Quiz ("the weird and the wonderful!")

[parkepr]

Ok folks .... It's nearly Proms time so I thought I'd share this quiz on the Guardian celebrating the weird and wonderful aspects of the Proms...


I scored 9/15...

[Pulcinella]

And I got 8!

[Hilaryjane]

And I got 8!

I got 11/15

[VodkaDilc]

I got 10 - included a few guesses though.

[gurnemanz]

7 - Average

[Bryn]

Hmm. A rather disappointing 12.

Number 5 I knew "'cause", as Max Boyce might have it, "I was there", as I was for a fair few others.

I got 7, 9 and 13 wrong.

[french frank]

I got 11, but I was only (reasonably) sure of 8 - so the rest were lucky guesses. I haven't checked the exact answers, though - just the adjudication :-).

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

!4/15. Not wonderful - just weird: the most "serious" answer was the one I got wrong.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I got fewer correct answers than anybody.

[Padraig]

I got fewer correct answers than anybody.

No you didn't.

[Serial_Apologist]

Nine - surpring it was that many!

[EnemyoftheStoat]

14/15. But maybe sitting in the RAH cafe between rehearsals is an unfair advantage.

[antongould]

I got 6 and tried really hard! Should I stay in more?

[Tevot]

This Quiz reminded me of how little I now listen to the Proms!

I got 8 ... Ho Hum

Perhaps I should read the Daily Mail's coverage in future?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

No you didn't.

I got fewer than the lowest yet quoted.
