Oar Blimey Quiz Questions
Why don’t you test yourself with a few of Oar Blimey’s quiz questions and see how well you do? (Scroll down to the answers – but don’t cheat!)
Q1. According to the NHS statistics, how many people over the age of 65 in the UK have dementia?
- 1 in 11
- 1 in 25
- 1 in 73
- 1 in 100
Q2. In rowing across the Atlantic Ocean from Sagres in Portugal to the Caribbean Island of Sint Maarten, approximately how many nautical miles will George and Russ actually row if they stick to their planned route?
- 1,900
- 3,500
- 5,300
- 7,100
Q3. Team Oar Blimey’s boat lacks a particular item which could make all the difference to crew comfort; it doesn’t have a toilet! So think very carefully before you answer this question…..For toilet requirements George and Russ will be okay because….
- They’ll be able to hold everything in until they reach Sint Maarten
- They’ll burn so many calories rowing, they won’t need a toilet
- They’ll hold on very tightly and hang themselves over the side of the boat
- They’ll use a bucket
Q4. Satellite technology will enable Team Oar Blimey to be followed and tracked, either via the specially designed app or on the oarblimey.co.uk website. But what is the name of the tracker device being used?
- Amazon Parcel Tracker
- YB Tracking
- Garmin Explorer
- Find my Friend
