Box Clever quiz

[JasonCullen]

Coming soon...

[Charlie Reams]

I'm excited. Assuming the quiz is about boxing and not something boring like TV soaps.

[Kirk Bevins]

I reckon it's a quiz on sudokus.

[JasonCullen]

Unfortunately guys, you have no such look . The quiz is 20 questions based on TV and celebrities- just like you feared Charlie !

I think a boxing quiz would attract little interest so I decided to do something non-sporty instead to avoid complaints off the sporting inept. Sudoku was also a good suggestion Kirk but too over complicated for me to construct.

But if you want to put one together for the benefit of the forum then be my guest

[JasonCullen]

For those who hate sport or just want to do both quizzes, then here is a TV and celebrity based quiz for you . Topics range from reality tv shows, soaps and TV adverts!

One point per correct answer and players must enter via private message only please

No cheats as per usual and,of course, have fun guys!

Your nice feedback would be highly appreciated

Griddlers are better puzzles than Sudokus (that focus on grids and boxes ). Sudokus are so outdated IMO .

My mate is nicknamed the griddler. If you can link me to a set of griddlers, I'll print them out and show them him. He'll love it.

There is a website devoted to griddlers and triddlers where you can register and solve them online for free. There are ebooks you can purchase (from $5 - $10) that you can download and print off too. I have not come across a site yet where they are free to download and print off.

[Joseph Bolas]
