PANDORA'S BOX


Image

This is just for fun - so no need to send the answers to myself - just see how you do, and tell us how you did! This was the quiz I set my family on Christmas day.

THE RULES -

This is a simple multiple choice quiz - with three answers for each question - A,B or C.

However, the answer for C is locked in 'Pandora's Box' and you don't get to see it. You must decide which answer you think is right, A, B or the hidden answer in the box - C. Write the answers down as you go, and only look at the next question once you've done the one you are on. There is no going back!

Image

For the eighteen questions you have SIX keys which you can use to unlock the box to see the answer found in C. You may only use these on six questions. (Make sure you only open six spoiler boxes for C during the quiz!) - these answers could help you confirm your suspicions, or offer you a credible alteranative.

However, be careful - this is Pandora's Box - and although the answers in the box may help, and some of them are definitely right, they may turn the question on its head or confuse you more then you were in the first place! You have been warned!

No googling - you're only hurting yourself - this is JUST FOR FUN, its not a contest!

I was going to put mice for the 'launched into orbit' question as I didn't think goldfish + zero gravity was a good combination, but then I saw the box spoiler and went with that instead. :fp:
