Striking Rounds

10 Bell Games

Now that you can identify which bell is striking wrong, it is time to make things a little harder. In the Striking 10 Bell Rounds game, the bells are still ringing rounds, but the errors now could be at hand stroke or at back stroke… and it could be that a bell is late or early… so quite a lot more options.

With 10 bells, hand stroke and back stroke, early or late, there are theoretically 40 potential answers to each test, but we will only give you 6 to choose from….

One answer will be correct, one will be close…. the others will definitely be wrong.

The hardest part of these tests will deciding whether a bell is early, or the preceding bell was late… hence the ‘nearly right’ bit!

To make the layout easier to use, we are using the following codes:

  • H = Hand stroke
  • B = Back stroke 
  • E = Early
  • L = Late
  • e.g. 2HE  = bell 2’s hand stroke is early.

To make things more manageable, we have broken the game into 4 rounds of 6 questions. Click the buttons to jump to a specific round.
