More Quiz Questions, help needed please

[Rhiannon]

I'm doing a quiz which involves sequences of things or people. eg one of them is j,f,m,a,m,j,j which are the months from january to july another one is r,o,y,g,b,i,v - colours of the rainbow. So please can anyone help with the following:

1. gw, ja, tj, jm, jm, jqa

2. a, t, c, c, n, g, o

3. p, t, f, t, t, f, p, tp

4. y, g, b, b, p, b

5. n, a, m, l, cj, hh, z

6. a, va, ra, c, c, c, lc, l

7. l, f, t, f, d, a, g, s, m

8. a, p, stl, l, s, a, p

Thanks in anticipation of a great result as always, R.

No 3 I think is coins =

penny, two pence, five pence, ten pence, twenty pence, fifty pence, pound coin, two pound.

no 4 is snooker balls - potting order - yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black.

And another one (not from me this time, I have sent it on to another group of people):

No 1 is American presidents - George Washington, ?, Thomas Jefferson, ?, ?, John Quincy Adams.

The ?s are: John Adams, James Madison, James Monroe. Result! (looked 'em up on google!)

No 6 is naval ranks: admiral, vice-admiral, rear-admiral,commodore, captain, commander, lieutenant-commander, lieutenant. (google again.)

You superstars, thanks ladies, knew I could rely on you. My brain was really starting to fuzz, how do I look it up on google,what do you search for? R.

Another one is c, t, c, p, r, g, d, I thought it was wedding anniversaries, they all fit except the first c so I must be wrong on that one. R.

I'm an occassional viewer of this site and I am SO intrigued about the answers to these questions. Please can someone post the amswers soon!!!!! I'm stumped.

Rhiannon, for the Prezzes and Sailors I knew some but not the rest; google is just www.google.com and then I put "US Presidents" and then "Military Ranks" in the box. (It gave the equivalent ranks for US/UK, for all the forces, which was sort of interesting.)

Still stuck on the others though...pity about the anniversaries. Google's list for those, from Chicago Public Libraries, goes up to 100th!!! Can you imagine?

janh, what about the Chinese birth years like dragon, rooster, monkey etc? or English P.M's? R.

Rhiannon, I can't see either of those sequences, or astrological signs. I keep thinking cj,hh,z should be easy to guess (but it isn't!)
Still stuck, Keep trying!

Still haven't got anymore. I've tried British P.M's, Chinese Birth Years, space shuttles! and British castles and cathedrals. Still need help please. R.

Where is everyone? You must be sick of all those relatives by now! As you can see I'm getting a bit desperate and insane with this stupid quiz now.

Here they are again:

1. n,a,m,l,cj,hh,z...........

2. a,p,stl,l,s,a,p...........

3. a,t,c,c,n,g,o.............

4. c,t,c,p,r,d,g.............

5. l,f,t,f,d,a,g,s,m this is the only list which doesn't carry on.

Thank you DD is coughing, must go. R.

Right Rhiannon - I'm going to write them down now and make my entire family take a look - don't worry you WILL get your answers!!!

Rhiannon, what is the significance of carrying on or not (if you know) please?

janh, well I think it's because some of the lists may be long ones like England captains or something, so they've just listed a few. R.

Got one! a,p,stl,l,s,a,p are all sites of the summer olympic games, starting with Athens! R.

Well done, Rhiannon! (How did you get that one? Start with stl and work around it?)

Hi janh, no I was looking for the other one with the 2 c's and the o thinking they were Coe, Cram and Ovett and was looking for Olympic games that they all might have won medals in and stumbled across the venues list. They all won golds in Moscow Olympics in 1980 and also in Commonwealth Games in 1982, they all fit except the N. Oh Well. R.

Really have tried with this and had everyone at home puzzled - I'm sorry for not being any use Rhiannon but can I hijack your thread for a second please, just to ask a xmas quiz question we're stuck on. The answer is a bird of the british isles and the clue is 'offer chicken?' Any idea anyone???

lizzer - how about moorhen ie. 'more hen?'

Dm2, Thankyou! I reckon that's it - I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner as haven't been online. Fantastic, will tell my Mum to fill it in...

Ladies, quiz has been handed in, less all the answers we didn't get. Will let you know how I get on. R.

Sorry we couldn't come up with any more, Rhiannon.
Do tell us the answers when you get them!
