Stuff that occurs to me

All of my 'how to' posts are tagged here. The most popular posts are about blocking and private accounts on Twitter, also the science communication jobs list. None of the science or medical information I might post to this blog should be taken as medical advice (I'm not medically trained).

Think of this blog as a sort of nursery for my half-baked ideas hence 'stuff that occurs to me'.

Film quiz - "Match the aircraft to the film it appears in" edition

Yes of course it's a bit niche, what did you expect :)

Below is a table with the films in one order (Number and film column) and the aircraft (Letter and aircraft) in the wrong order. If you were playing along and printed this out then the middle column (Letter) is where you would write the correct letter depending on which aircraft is the correct one. 

Eg if you thought The Silence of the Lambs featured a Thurston TSC-1A Teal you'd write 'C' there. A clue is that you'd be wrong ;)

Answers in the next post which, once I've written it, will be linked here.

A copy of this table is here in this Google Doc (or if you'd like a plain text version here it is as a .tsv [tab separated variables with which you can recreate a spreadsheet for sharing]), and here's my previous 'Film quiz - logos edition' post.

You are welcome to use this quiz round in your own quizzes, no permission needed. (I'd be amazed if anyone wants to though!)

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.

Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
