Have an awesome day everyone, stay cool…

I’m guessing it means: “I Don’t Know Why I Even Bother”.

Thanks, I was wondering what that meant also. And all the previous ones.

 

[Nevertiki]

Nevertiki, I definitely agree with your responses regarding Qs 2 and 9, but I felt the question regarding the chameleon was not appropriately worded as there were two possible answers.
I don’t want to be the quizmaster though

Sure you don't want to try the job?? The incumbent quizmaster is probably ready to throw in the towel. All you need is a flak jacket, an armourplated umbrella, a bulletproof LBD and an encyclopaedia of US sitcoms and academy awards. Plus a wanton disregard for logic when framing questions and answers. Could be fun!!?

Well if that’s the case….don’t! I have highs and very low lows but there is always tomorrow and another try. It’s all part of the fun, the anticipation, the playful banter between members and the learning about others and how they’ll respond. From my perspective it’s fantastic

You failed to mention the ubiquitous LBD

Question 2: How many years does it take for a plastic bag to decompose in a landfill?​

@Bullwinkle and @Nevertiki have both hit the nail on the head! The resistance of polymers to natural weathering is dependent on various factors. The volatility of the plasticiser used, the chain length of the polymer, the amount and effectiveness of antioxidants and antiozonants used, and the prevailing conditions.

I have witnessed old "singlet" style plastic bags disintegrate in under 12 months in the outdoors in a temperate climate. The answer of "500 to 1000 years" is an arbitrary figure based on extrapolated data generated by accelerated aging studies.

Love the term extrapolate! and I do know what it means.

I’m guessing it means: “I Don’t Know Why I Even Bother”.

That being the case, then it's quite understandable with the collected choice of answers not showing the correct ones. Two today being the castle and the actress? Maybe an enterprising member can make a list of these for want of a better name acronyms, I'm out although never had a problem withe NATO alphabet?

The questions may not be worded as all members think they should be, me included, and the answers not always correct according to all members, me included, but I absolutely love the conversation generated by the quiz. It all adds to the fascination of these 10:
