Just a reminder to those who have entered (you're still more than welcome to enter if you haven't) that the first round of the trivia quiz begins tomorrow!

Alright, here we go!  ;D

Just a quick reminder of a few rules and an update on one:

1. A set of 10 questions will be released each Monday, all related to a common theme.
(Updated Rule) 2. The questions will range in difficulty, therefore the easy questions will be worth 1pt, the medium questions worth 2pts, hard 3pts, and the super-hard question is worth 5pts. You wont get any points for a wrong answer.
3. Your answers must be messaged to me (don't post the answers here) by 7pm Friday night!
4. In fairness to all, use your noodle and not Google. Obviously, this is impossible to enforce, so please play fair.
5. The answers, along with an updated ladder will be posted on Saturday. Players on equal points will be separated by whomever submits the earliest answers.
6. Have fun!

Here come the questions....

Well, round 1 has begun! Good luck to all of the entrants!

If the questions seem unreasonably hard or easy, don't worry. These questions are more of an indication to what level of trivia buffs we have in the competition. So, if many people struggle with the questions, I will reduce the difficulty for the following rounds.

Also, it's still not to late to enter! Just post below that you want in, submit (via PM) your answers and away you go!

Same. I actually knew quite a few which I wasnt surprised about but I think I got the EJ whitten legends game one right. (Bonus Point)

[hawk_88]

Few I guessed, few I wasn't certain and a few I am sure I knew.

[AFEV]

I think I knew most of them. Some were just educated guesses like the Legends game.
