The Missing Vowels Quiz!
For those not familiar with the format, the idea is to solve a puzzle by completing the word or phrase that is missing its vowels. For example, if the puzzle is WMBLYCNFRNCCNTR, the correct answer is Wembley Conference Centre.
Which brings me on to the other aspect of the game - categories. To make things go a little smoother, the puzzle-setter should state the particular category the puzzle falls into. So that particular example would be Venues. I’m not going to draw up a list of categories, because that’d only serve to reduce the scope of the game in the future. Instead, the onus is on the puzzle-setter to state the category and do so accurately, without giving too much away. Categories don’t have to follow any particular pattern. The puzzles can go from one category to any other as puzzle-setters see fit.
The quiz will follow the same format as most quizzes on here; the first to correctly answer a puzzle gets to set the next one. The puzzle-setter must identify the first correct answer for the next puzzle to be set.
The letter Y is a consonant. Any attempt to argue otherwise means you’re Dan.
September 2023 Update
Following a review of the quiz, the decision has been made to grant power of attorney to Judders, along with amendments to the rules, as follows:
A new question must be posted within 4 days of a question being correctly answered.
If a player fails to post a new question within 4 days they will automatically be excluded from participating in the next question, and their contributions will not be counted. They are free to participate after the next question has been completed.
In the event of the question setting deadline not being met, Judders has the authority to either 1) Request that the previous question setter posts a new question, or 2) Choose who (of the regular quizzers) posts a new question.
Resolution of any disputes, and general housekeeping of the quiz will be handled by Judders.
The quiz rules and power of attorney are subject to periodic review.
Thanks.
