Do you get fed up with those stupid Facebook
quizzes “How well do you know xxxxx?”, yep, me too but it gave me
an idea for my entry in my own little fun competition – “Birdie’s
Peach Jar Cache” (Least Found section)
So with no further ado – “How well do you know
the Birdman-of-Liskatraz?” - obviously the better you know me, the
easier this will be, if it proves too difficult I'll start making
the questions easier, maybe.
A
Birdman drives a Renault Megane – but what colour
is it:
If it’s Green then A = 2
If it’s Red then A = 4
If it’s Silver then A= 6
If it’s Blue then A = 5

Birdman is partial to something to eat with his
coffee – but what’s his favourite nibble:
If it’s Fig Rolls then B = 9

ones) then B = 3

F
My Great Grandfather James, from Ryde in the Isle
of Wight was a composer of music. He wrote a series of
studies based on the work of Czerny's – but how many studies were
there?
If there were 35 then F = 3
If there were 30 then F = 5
If there were 101 then F = 8
If there were 100 then F = 9
If there were 45 then F = 6
If there were 42 then F = 7
G
Birdman’s favourite tipple, on the rare occasions
he has a drink is:
If White wine G= 8

If Baileys G= 5
If Scotch (But only a good Malt) G=3
If Red wine G = 1
If, ahh that’s a trick question, Birdie is teetotal. G=2
H
If Birdman ever had a pet dog (and if he did it
would be a Border Collie) what would he call him?

If you think it’s Scottish glass paperweights
then N = 9
If you think it’s a collection of items on a Viking theme then N =
1
If you think it’s a set of glass apples then N= 4
If you think it’s the obvious collection of glass birds then
N=7
If you think it’s a collection of Scandinavian glass then N =
2
