The Captain’s Quiz 5: Golden Rings

Surprise! It’s time to play the game!

But first, I want to make sure you all read the title of this post as, “The Captain’s Quiz Fiiiive: Golden Rings.” Let’s all go do that quickly. Okay, very good.

I was going to type the title out that way, but it looked weird.

Enough dilly-dallying. Let’s get to it!

The theme of this quiz is: Famous Fives. You’ll be so tired of the number five by the end of this. I promise.

This could refer to groups that consist of five members, phrases that include five, or anything else associated with the number five. Not one, not two, not three, not four, but five.

Example: Five Golden Rings from the Christmas song, “Twelve Days of Christmas”.

You understand.
