Quiz about Polish animals, quite difficult, 10/12, not bad. But animals have always been my hobby, except for birds, and my two mistakes were about them. E.g., I thought this is a Western capercaille, but it is a black grouse.  wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/13,114883,6745.html?i=12 link |

Quiz on communist Poland - 88/100. Oops, I thought I would do better because the history of Poland is my second hobby!  deser.gazeta.pl/deser/13,143462,8251,quiz-z-wiedzy-o-prl-dla-dlugodystansowcow-srednia-76-100.html?i=100 Twój wynik to: 88/100 DOSKONALE! BRAWO! I przede wszystkim szacunek za dokończenie quizu!  I didn`t know that Ustrzyki Dolne returned to Poland after the territorial exchange with the USRR in 1951. I didn`t know the text of an opening song from a series for children which I have never seen,
But at least I knew that coloured pencils produced in communist Poland had an image of a teddy bear on the packet. I still have them!!!

Books from a school reading list quiz. 7/11 I didn`t know some books at all and I also forgot that Robinson Crusoe was born in Hull and Pinocchio killed the serpent by making it laugh. deser.gazeta.pl/deser/13,143462,8344,te-ksiazki-od-nowego-roku-szkolnego-nie-beda-juz-lekturami.html?i=11 |

DOSKONALE! Jesteś ASEM! wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/13,114883,7603.html?i=13 But I was lucky in one question, namely the title of the first Polish TV series from 1960s. I took a guess. Barbara i Jan www.cda.pl/video/56232303 |

Beer quiz.
Twój wynik to:
8/10
Brawo. Rewelacyjny wynik!
Shyt. I chose malt as the main ingredient of beer instead of WATER! Shame!
I didn`t know that EBC measures the level of bitterness in beer.
But I guessed that forming foam while pouring beer into a glass is called capping.

Brawo!
I forgot that Hańcza is the deepest lake in Poland, stupid me! And I thought that Międzyzdroje is located on mainland, while it is on an island.

Oops, complete failure. I have kept cats since 1992 but my score was only 3 out of 12.
3 / 12
Oj, słabo! No cóż, nie jest to wymarzony wynik. Nie przejmuj się jednak – czekają na Ciebie inne quizy. Na pewno pójdzie Ci lepiej!
E.g., I thought cats were domesticated in Egypt, no, in China.
Up to 9 kittens are born on average. Really???
Cats have unique nose shapes just like humans unique fingerprints.
The oldest cat, Creme Puff, lived 38 years. Really???
Cats can`t recognise the sweet taste.
One question was wrongly asked - how many hours do cats sleep during the day? 18. They meant not a day but day and night!

British citizenship quiz - a bit better. 9 / 11 Doskonale! Niewiele osób osiągnęło tak dobry wynik jak Ty. Jesteśmy pod wrażeniem – chylimy czoła! Czy w innych quizach poradzisz sobie równie doskonale? Ooops, I didn`t know that the symbol of Rememberance Day is a poppy. I chose a daffodil. Silly me! And the first design of the Union Jack appeared in 1606.  |

Ooops, I didn`t know that the symbol of Rememberance Day is a poppy. I chose a daffodil. Silly me! I knew that...the poppy is also the symbol used here, though we call the day Veterans' Day now. (Used to be Armistice Day) |

Mushroom quiz: 14/15 Do you know this one? No. It is a very controvercial mushroom because it belongs to the noblest family, very tasty, but at the same time it resembles the deadliest species, especially when young.      |
