Book quotation quiz

Fri, 21 Apr 2006 12:00:00 +0000

These are quotes from books. How many titles can you guess? (Case insensitive. Ignore punctuation. So “Hitchhiker’s” is “Hitchhikers” without the apostrophe. Don’t forget the leading “A” and “The”. Harry Potter books begin with “Harry Potter and the…”.)

Anything over 10 / 25 is impressive.

Dhar 21 Apr 2006 4:28 pm: Anand Man… LOTR is one book in three parts and not a trilogy. So LOTR is the correct answer to a couple of questions instead of ROTK etc.
Dhar 21 Apr 2006 4:35 pm: Hmmm, a particular quote occurs in more than one Ludlum novels. In fact, I suspect that particular one is there in all the three.
Dhar 21 Apr 2006 4:40 pm: Finally got 17 / 25. But I suspect that is because we have been reading similar stuff lately.
S Anand 21 Apr 2006 5:05 pm: Agreed: LOTR is a single book. Loved it so much I had to put in a quote from each part!
Chitra 22 Apr 2006 3:14 am: Nice one :)!
JLT 22 Apr 2006 8:03 pm: And just like that, bumped into your blog . walked through 10/25 mark without realising. u could raise the bar.
suhas 23 Apr 2006 9:46 pm: hey, how do i find out the answers to the ones i have not been able to figure out?
S Anand 24 Apr 2006 6:45 am: You can e-mail me. root dot node at gmail dot com.
S Anand 10 May 2006 5:29 pm: Test comment.
Mayur 6 Jun 2006 7:20 pm: Hey nice quiz this, i usually dont quiz but i guess i found someting im decent at 12/25
Natasha 19 Nov 2006 6:36 am: yay i got 12/25 by myself and with help got 14!!! i congradulate you on a great quiz!
Hemant 7 Feb 2007 10:24 pm: Actually, LOTR is not 1 book. JRR Tokein actually wrote it as three different books. We now read it as one. I read this in the first few pages of the first book.
simplecoffee 21 Apr 2006 12:00 pm: Um, well, ‘Cain is for Charlie and Delta is for Cain’ is only used in The Bourne Identity. Supremacy has ‘Cain is for Carlos and Delta is for Cain’, while Ultimatum hasn’t got it.

Dhar 21 Jan 2006 1:55 am: Hmmm, I got 30 / 40. Nice one!
ritzkini 21 Jan 2006 6:02 am: good one !
jake 21 Jan 2006 11:02 am: hey good quiz, i got 31: “seen me everyday for 16 years” should read “seen me everyday for 13 years”.
S Anand 21 Jan 2006 11:02 am: Correction: “seen me everyday for 16 years” should read “seen me everyday for 13 years”.
Another corrigendum 21 Jan 2006 12:55 pm: there’s a ’the’ mismatch in one of the answers
S Anand 21 Jan 2006 1:14 pm: Oh, which quote?
joe 21 Jan 2006 8:59 pm: why does the all time hits change? i remember seeing bill gates at 200 now it is done to 198.
S Anand 21 Jan 2006 10:52 pm: I removed some duplicate entries last week (i.e. people accidentally clicking twice).
Parshu 2 Feb 2006 6:37 am: how did you create this thng, when i type a name if right it becomes green and score gets updated. Kindly help me out with this technique. So i can too develop something on similar lines
S Anand 2 Feb 2006 5:33 pm: The logic for turning stuff green is the onKeyUp function in those boxes. If what’s typed matches the encrypted answer, I turn the style.background attribute to green, and increment the quizCount element (which is just a span element) by 1. Hope it doesn’t sound Greek… just see the source.
Ravi 3 Oct 2006 6:40 am: Good one anand. I got 34. I think i got the other 6 also but somehow not getting the names in the right format. These movies are sequels & have long names with colon etc.

Trivialistic’s trivia on entertainment is amazing. The one about Neil Armstrong is my favourite.
