Hi all! I'm not back properly, just lurking really, reading some fic and some journals and generally mooching around. I probably won't really be back until about 3rd January, when I get back from my in-laws (yes, we're still here and having a nice time, thank you for asking)

I've been quietly pleased with my three Christmas fic exchange stories - two for sga_santa and one for Yuletide. Drabbles for any non-betas who can identify which are mine! I still have some drabble prompts from weeks ago that I'm working through, and I need to write my lostcityfound story for 7th January, but it's been a nice, relaxing holiday and just what I needed.

Anyway, the point of posting was not to ramble (for a change) but to pass on a quiz picked up from fajrdrako. "It's the 2008 King Williams College Quiz. It's an annual quiz given to the students at this college on the Isle of Man. First they to it off the top of their heads, then they get it as an open-book test for a while. There's a prize for the person who gets the most questions right."

fajrdrako has reproduced it at her journal, but since our flists don't entirely overlap, I thought it would be fun to put it here too. It's somewhere between a general knowledge quiz and a cryptic crossword - see how many you can get and drop the answers in comments. Discuss amongst yourselves and I'll keep dropping in to see how you're all doing. I'll update answers as often as I can! My own 'first pass answers' are in bold. More when I've had a chance to look things up!
