I forgot to add the name of the film in the introduction, though
obviously it is "The Magnificent Seven".

I'm fairly new to this group. Are there any ground rules I should know about?

post a slate of questions, try not to be obscene, attempt to have a
sense of hummor, attempt to have a theme, start numbering with 1 or 0
if you are bold (but the ecumenical choice of 1/2 is not an option),
and a good quiz will have every question answered by at least one
person but none by everyone.

oh, and look at the previous titles. you'll see a pattern there.

good luck!

Or just take 10 question of assorted subjects. The idea is that answers
should be given without research.

That I knew. Wasn't sure if the questions had to be set from memory.

The quizmaster is of course permitted to look things up. It might
even help! (I did the first rotating quiz, and included two questions
inspired by Jesus Christ Superstar I had listened to the same day. One
of the questions was quite of the mark, since Webber & Rice had gone
beyond the Bible.)
