For those few queops who are not in the fb group - if you want to start Monday's Quiky with 3 points, predict the following:

Women's Footie WC, round of last 16 (Achtelfinale)pick 3 of the 5 weekend games and predict the winners/results (W/D/L)

deadlines are the respective KO times ;)

Saturday 20 JuneGermany vs. Sweden
China vs. Cameroon

Sunday 21 JuneBrazil vs. Australia
France vs. South Korea
Canada vs. Switzerland

Let's Get Quizzical.. and slightly more serious. Even if it's only a QuiKy.

Right, Queops, tonight it all begins. Again. With Quiky3.0/001.
After last week's dress rehearsal which showed us some flaws and shortcomings (which will be fixed by the time we kick off tonight), and let us find out feet (and new Stammtische) we kick off the first Quiky3.0 Champions League season in the Kilkenny Irish Pub tonight. At 8pm. Waiting to get defeated are four former (and one reigning) teams of champions, and several contenders.
We'll have a nice new batch of questions, pictures, and music as well as the usual free nuts and alcohol for losers and winners.
If you're game, find us in the Celtic room of the Kilkenny Irish Pub (or follow the noise). The earlier you're there the better the tables still available.

I'm looking forward to new challenges, challengers, and tons of fun.

Le Quiz est mort, vive le quiz. A moving announcement.

Last week saw us conclude the 14th season of Ye Wilde Quiz Champions League, and also Ye Wilde Quiz. (round-up and photos later this week)

We have now moved venue and time.

As of tonight (Monday 8 June) we shall be asking (and answering) challenging questions at QuiKy 3.0, the new (old) quiz in Kilkenny Irish Pub at Hackescher Markt.

Queople who have played the Wilde Quiz won't have to get used to new rules, most things stay they way they've been for years (good! :). People who've never had the experience - here are the general rules in English & German.
The whole QuiKy is in English and German, the topics & questions are international, 'intergenerational' ;) mix.

Our main objective is to have fun, meet old friends and new people, maybe learn a few things, and give the old brain a bit of an airing... Of course we'll also have alcohol, nuts, and more alcohol. And prizes.

Why not pop down to the old KK and check it out? We're looking forward to new faces and maybe some serious challengers for our old champions.

Any other things you want to know - find us on f***book or mail your questions & comments to this here quizmizaddress.

It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN...

Just because the end is nigh.. reminders for WQ#188.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEASON 14 - THE FINAL is almost upon us.

Thursday 4 June. Oscar Wilde. Back bar.

We still have a few tables. Book if you want to be present for the big showdown between 6-times champions DAQ and challengers Cannonballs (aka BigBallZonFire)

PUSSYCLUB still have a few hours to send me their Yogi topics. If I don't get any I'll pick all 3 rounds.

For reservations, cancellations, comments & questions PLEASE use our email address quiz_miz@hotmail.com.

See you soon.

BTW - points & table & stuff here tomorrow.

Sober stags, iRound, Games People Play, or How We Beat Our Champions - WQ#185

Well, well, well ... what a penultimate quiz.

Once again a massive THANK YOU to all teams ... despite the minor hiccups before KO, and the somewhat late-ish finish it was a marvelous night. I haven't had that much fun for ages... lovely new teams, erudite Ersatz-Graces, and good points all round.

BRILLIANT POINTS (and not just in their HIMYM Yogi round!!!) for the team that finally lived up to its name

4-2-Won WON!!!! and beat DAQ******!!!
Congratulations, you guys rock!!! 

Ersatz-Graces - lovely :)

SO seh'n Sieger aus :)

1. 4-2-WON 90
2. DAQ****** 88,5
3. Cannonballs* 82,5
4. Pünktchen +/- Arno 78
5. Let's Get Quizzical 76,5
6. Amazing Graces*75,5
7. Xtra Sausage 64
8. King Georg 61
9. J.E.L.P. 59
10. Twin Tub 47,5

The gap between DAQ and BallZ has widened ever so slightly to 4 points, but is by no means insurmountable, and the promise of a GRANDE FINALE makes my mental mouth water. Said final, if all goes to plan, is on next week. I can only say for verysuresure on Wednesday evening.. in case of 'teething troubles' we'll play the 12th and final round on 4 June.
Right - here's the table and pics then, and since I assume neither JELP nor Twin Tub will return next week, Yogi is all mine, all mine. Believe me, I'll find something :D

Prediction of the week for WQ#187As usual at this time of the year - Grangpriöhrovisjongdellaschampsongöhropejenn, aka Jurowischen. (or Eurovision Song Contest 2015)
Vienna calling...
For 3 points in the 'Grand Final' on Thursday - predict Saturday's

• first place
• last place
• Germany's place (+/-2)

Deadline for your wild or educated guesses is Saturday 8pm.

And now there's nothing left to say but - HAVE A LOVELY LONG WEEKEND, see you next Thursday for the big showdown :D

Grizabella, gambling & Great Ballz on fire - WQ#185

Greetings, Queops. We are living in exciting times..... and relaxing ones too. So much so that I forgot to put points & table up here (they have been in fb group though ;) before heading off into a loooong weekend.

WQ#185 was a great night 'en famille' - fun & discipline & early finish. AND the chance to try something new. I really enjoyed the 'gambling' round and we will be doing it again. Real soon  ;)

Maybe we can - slowly but surely - go back to the 'olden ways'... and if only for a while :)

Anyroad, thanx again to all participating teams, you are all champs!!

Which brings us to the important part - CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.. the finishing stretch. Highly interesting results - good points for most, great points for some teams.

1. Cannonballs* 92,5
2. DAQ****** 80
3. Fietscherings**** 79
4. Hurricanes 71,5
5. Pünktchen +/- Arno 66
6. Amazing Graces* 65
7. Let's Get Quizzical 62
8. 4-2-Won 55,5

Great BallZ were on fire and won again, and because of their Streichergebnis 'tactics' they are now nipping at DAQ's heels... only 1.5 points between 1st and 2nd!!!!!! SUSPENSSSSSSSSSSSSE!!!!

(unfortunately, they can't make WQ#186 .. will DAQ seize the opportunity and gain some ground?)

We may have only 2 games left in Season 14, so do make sure your team is reperesented, if only by 'deputies' ...

Book is getting full(er) for the next 2 weeks, if you still want in SEND ME A MAIL.

Looking forward to Thursday, and WQ#186.

Time out

remember, remember... NO QUIZ TONIGHT.

Next one is WQ#186 on 21 May.
Enjoy the holiday :)
