We are so proud of both our junior and senior quiz teams who did Scoil Mhuire extremely proud in this year’s Credit Union Quiz. They were merely pipped at the post to receive a place but true to their nature, they were very gracious in defeat. These photos were taken the day after the competition and the smiles prove that the girls had the best fun preparing for the quiz and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
To give you an idea of just how tough some of the questions are – the girls would like to challenge you to answer the following samples of Credit Union Quiz questions. Refrain from googling your answers please!!
1. What is the term used to describe the part of an army which is specifically trained to fight on foot?
2. Born in Hungary, which magician’s real name was Erich Weiss?
3. Bees are found on every continent in the world except one. Name it.
