I was bored, watching a pretty informative documentary & leafing through the books on my shelves. I thought, "I'll write a quick yet tricky quiz for facebook....realised I'd taken a facebook break so dedicated this effort to the lovely folks on steemit. Answers will be posted within four hours under the heading QUIZ TIME ANSWERS! so just go to my blog at katskirkpatrick.....

Ok, here we go....

  1. Who painted the iconic oil painting named, 'The Nightmare' in 1781?

  2. According to the Bible account of creation, on what day did God create seasons?

  3. What is called 'the Challenger Deep'?

  4. Which Oath was the Scottish poet, Robert Burns forced to take in 1789?

  5. Who set out to discover Troy in 1870 (and unexpectedly succeeded)?

  6. Who wrote the best-seller, 'Jaws'?

  7. What is the formal/legal name for the amount of uncalled capital which many only be called up in a winding-up of a company?

  8. What is the more commonly known Sacrament called 'Chrismation' by the Eastern Churches?

  9. Which country contains 8 of the world's highest peaks?

  10. What four planets in our solar system are considered 'gas giants'?

Thar ye go!!! All a wee bit random but if anything it got my noggin' thinkin' writin' this quiz? If anyone has any suggestions for a more specific quiz like 'legal terms', 'art', 'sport' or something like that (please not sport!) then please comment below. It will also be good to see if there are any contentions to the answers I will be posting! Best of luck!!
