Quiz night!

Friday night was quiz night at our place. When I sent the invitation out a few weeks back, I had thought that we’d be lucky to get a moderate response. Boy, how wrong I was – almost everyone showed up! Our lounge room was literally packed!

The quiz took a bit longer than I had thought it would, though I think that was mostly from having to quiet the mob every few minutes. It’s not the greatest feeling when you ask a question which you had expected everyone to get, only to be met by blank looks (such as: identify this heavily modified song)! Thankfully though, this only happened a few times, and overall I suspect most people thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

My favourite question was in the “Back to School” round:

In the sentence: “Zoe stole the the green ball from Tom”, identify the subject, the predicate, a proper noun, an improper noun, and an adjective.

So? Can you do it (without resorting to Professor Google)?

Congratulations to Nick and Aubain who ended up taking first place, only narrowly beating Alex and Leanne. This means the quizmaster baton has been passed to Aubain – lets see what he comes up with!

maybe the second the is a improper noun?

No, that’s a typo! :-)
