How sad am I?

This little BBC Quiz is one of the highlights of my week.

I almost never get a 7!

That's me thrilled until I get to sleep.....

TanteRose · 30/08/2019 02:12

well done!

its quite tricky - I may have got full marks once? (I don't live in the UK so sometimes miss stuff)

will go and give this week's one a bash

LiveInAHidingPlace · 30/08/2019 02:13

Oh good for you! The most I've ever got was six, I usually get three

I got 5/7

Ooh, I like a quiz! I've not stumbled across this one before...

I scored 4/7 - crusty (and only managed that through educated guesses).

foreverblessedbee · 30/08/2019 02:54

A paltry 4 for me too and that was guesswork!

Flower777 · 30/08/2019 03:17

I got 6 which is amazing because I guessed every single one!

I got seven in June. First time ever!!!! I was so excited! I took a photo too!!! I've done the quiz for years too!!

WanderingMind · 30/08/2019 09:23

I got 0

Have I really not been paying any attention to the news? it feels like the teacher has just accused me of not listening in class!

BarbaraofSeville · 30/08/2019 09:32

I also got 0, which is astonishing as I watch the BBC news every day and read the Times several times a week. Obviously I don't take anything in.

It's quite a challenge to actually get them all wrong, as statistically, even by completely guessing, you'd expect to get between 1 and 3 right.

FredaFrogspawn · 30/08/2019 09:37

Oh dear, only three. Obviously not paying enough attention to what’s going on!

Dollywilde · 30/08/2019 09:38

I've only ever once got a 7! Congratulations!

Only 3/7 this week, sigh.

Whatnotwot · 30/08/2019 09:38

I managed 4 but two were lucky guesses. Well done on 7.

Islandermum · 30/08/2019 09:45

I got 6! Chuffed with that as it was mainly guesses!

MrsMozartMkII · 30/08/2019 09:47

I'm 'crusty'... and they were all guesses...

Note to self: pay more attention to what's going on in the world!

Olinguito · 30/08/2019 09:51

Congratulations! I got 3 today.

I just knew it was a freak event!

3/7 this week. Back to normal.

StayInYourLaneBoy · 06/09/2019 11:20

I got 4 and that was only because I misunderstood one question and ended up getting it right when I thought the opposite!

Crimebustersofthesea · 06/09/2019 11:23

I only got 2 this week. I can always tell when it's been a slow week at work as I get 5+

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 06/09/2019 11:26

I'm usually a 3 scorer too. Must try harder!

Soola · 06/09/2019 12:08

I got them all right again!

I am an avid reader of the news especially pertaining to the UK and America.

RavenLG · 06/09/2019 12:25

6/7 but I did guess every single questions lol.
Side note: does anyone remember the daily teletext quiz? I think it was called bamboozle and the Saturday quiz was easier for kids to do?

TanteRose · 06/09/2019 12:32

Lucky guesses for most of these
I knew about the Pope!
