4 & 9/10ths

 

[Grizzly]

3 & 2/5ths

 

[GeoCucc]

wow, 7 and 3/5, just missed Q2 and Q9. I was surprised that I remember the exact number of French wins.
This quiz looks like an exam, with graph and picture analysis

 

[teabagyokel]

Seems you got the graphs though!

 

[Speshal]

a poxy 3 - I did get the car tho from the little kangaroo on the side

 

[Grizzly]

hey' skip

 

[tooncheese]

3 and 2/5ths

Spoiler

For Q7 I thought FA won thier final win, I misinterpreted it and then thought Massa won in Brazil, thier last race. I'm giving myself a point for that

 

[teabagyokel]

Rephrased!

 

[Galahad]

6 and a half, nice use of graphs!

 

[Bleu]

7½. Just behind GeoCucc it seems.

 

[MCLS]

4

 

[McZiderRed]

1 & 7/10

7 tenths above my usual score!

However, for Q.6 I was only one year out. I feel that only getting 1/2 a point for that is quite harsh. A possible grading of the fractions would have been nice..... might even have gotten me to two points!

 

[teabagyokel]

Question 6 wasn't about years...!

 

[McZiderRed]

Ooops! Sorry, not years - I meant races. Hehe..

I can't even joke about getting a poor score, without getting it wrong! Can't think why I always struggle with these marvellous quizzes! Can you..? **shrinks away quietly, hoping no-one notices**
