The World Quiz League

World Quiz League

2007-2008 Season

Quiz Four

You can join in at any time. Each quiz is a stand-alone contest with a winner. Even if you participate in the league you are not unduly tied down as the league ranks players by the highest three scores in the most recent five quizzes, which means if you miss one, or even two, you can still be competitive.

This quiz seems to be especially mean. If you can get any right at all you are doing well. These are stinkers!

My dictionary falls open, between an unpleasant thick liquid substance and a colloquial currency unit I find a minimalist shoe; a dockyard feature; a single-masted ship; an arboreal mammal who epitomizes a green lifestyle; a despondent depression that demands Betjemanesque aerial attack; a pellet that risks being lead to its own doom and a rather impure form of diacetylmorphine hydrochloride.

As a tie breaker suggest two alternative ways to pass the day, one for a friend and one for an enemy, using as many words from these two pages as you think is advisable.
