Rare Entries Quiz XIV - take two

Post by tubeguru »

OK, as the original thread is full of crap and people may not see the questions, I have started a new thread with the questions in the first post

Seeing as there's less than a week to go until the Eurovision Song Contest, here's some questions for you. All of these can be found on Wikipedia.

1. Name a country that has obtained "nul points" (0 points) in either the Grand Final or Semi Final of the Eurovision Song Contest.
2. Name a non-English song that won the Eurovision Song Contest after and including 1990.
3. Name a year in which the United Kingdom finished second in the Eurovision Song Contest.
4. Name a year in which Ireland won the Eurovision Song Contest.
5. Name a year where the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest performed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th.
6. Name a singer who has competed more than once in the Eurovision Song Contest.
7. Name a person who has commentated on the Eurovision Song Contest in the United Kingdom on television, including semi finals.
8. Name a host of the Eurovision Song Contest between 2000 and 2009 inclusive.
9. Name a broadcaster (abbreviations will do) that has produced the Eurovision Song Contest between 1990 and 2012 inclusive.
Et finalement, 10. Other than English, French or imaginary languages, name a language that has had a song performed in that language entirely since 1999.

CLOSING DATE: 23 May 2012, 2245 BST.

Once again, the person setting the quiz has declined to tell you to PM him the answers. PLEASE PM YOUR ANSWERS TO HOPELESS TRAVELLER.

I would say that the range of possible answers in this particular quiz was possibly a little wide for some questions, hence the low scores.

For this quiz, I am disappointed at how many people picked the same answers as me. :P
