As every year of late the BBC are doing a 'quiz of the year'.
As every year I am linking to it on here
As every year they have a confusing bonus question
Lets ignore the bonus question (although can discuss it) and just count our scores out of 12 each day (48 in total).
Like the Sporcle, just post your scores honestly on here and we'll tally it up. Highest score by the time santa comes (midnight xmas eve) wins.
No googling, no cheating, no clues, no discussing answers etc

Last year's thread

Day 1 link
Day 2 link
Day 3 link
Day 4 link

My score day 1 = 8

2010:
1. blahblah 40
=2. murf 30
=2. saintmark 30

2009:
=1. Jester 28
=1. Zipnolan 28
3. murf 26

2008:
=1. DrBunker 26
=1. Saintmark 26
=1. murf 26

2007:
1. blahblah 31
=2. ianovich 27
=2. murf 27

4 podiums for me
2 wins for blahblah
2 podiums for Saintmark
Take blahblah out of the equation and it has been a tie every year!

One end of the bell curve is still missing. Feels nice to sit atop it though. :P

Day 2

For what its worth, I'll also guess the picture link is 'apple'. Adam & Eve and a computer

I also thought of apple as the connection in the first two photos (before I'd seen your comment murf) - so think that's probably too obvious from just two photos, and it'll end up being something else.

I think you are right, apple would make more sense if they'd saved one of those pics til day 4 and had two more obscure ones in between.

Is that even an Apple computer?????? I've no idea.
