QUIZ OF THE MONTH (July- ANSWERS)

[Magician]

Since the Quizzes in May were very popular, the feature will be continued. However, this month, instead of rating the difficulty lever of each quiz, there will be one quiz with a varied difficulty level of questions. I hope it will continue to be a fun and entertaining way for all to learn something new about 'The Land We Love'. Enjoy. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

This was not meant to be a tricky question, just an error on my part.

<font color="red"> A: 80% of Jamaicans have a cell phone</font>


<font color="blue"> You can get Asham in a: </font>

-Asham is ground corn kernels mixed with sugar and a touch of salt, a tasty treat for kids (and grownups)


<font color="blue"> How many "Miss World" winners has Jamaica produced? </font>

<font color="red"> A: 3 Miss Worlds were representing Jamaica </font>

Re: QUIZ OF THE MONTH (July)

Luv these quizzes -- keep em coming. Check your answer
for #1 however. According to wikipedia and other sources,
St. Catherine parish is made up of the former parishes
of St.Thomas-in-the-Vale, St. John and yup, ST.DOROTHY.

Re: QUIZ OF THE MONTH (July)

Thanks for the praise T, and for catching the error. St. Dorothy's was indeed a parish in the 18th century.

Class, add one extra point to the score of your Quizzes, and pass them forward for collection please!
