Just one correct out of the first four, then a guessing frenzy to get 7/10. Aussie questions, as always, were sore, although I did guess the Steve Hooker one correctly by going "feck it" and just hitting something. I would probably get it wrong if asked again tomorrow. I got question 1 wrong, but I was so sure I was right with my answer. In fact I plan to go and argue with someone from that country, but not right now. Crusaders only drew at the weekend - maybe miracles can happen? Didn't happen at all........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie S Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) A well-oiled 6/10 for Monday, following a pub quiz double header. Of the the three quizzes I've done tonight, the Aussie one was the worst by far, even taking into account a duff question from the QM in the first quiz of the night (more on that later). Who won the Victorian Open golf championship? I imagine there must be several people who care about that one, though none with northern hemisphere post codes. Triple whammy of Young people's music, Aussie sport and Aussie politics. Wonderful. Knew five, scored six. Guessometer as dysfunctional as usual, but Couldntgiveatossometer functioning nicely, despite the increased workload. Anyway, on the subject of quizzes that don't involve making random guesses concerning the minor accomplishments of antipodean sportspeople: Got asked in a pub quiz tonight: Which is longest - a) The Trans-Siberian railway b) The radius of the Moon c) The Great Wall of China. Result! Got asked the length of the Great Wall of China in a tiebreak on P&B recently. My guess then was 6.5k miles or so. I was out by more than the same distance again, but the fact that the Wall stretched for over 13,000 miles was now indelibly imprinted on my memory. So, I confidently convinced my skeptical team mates to reject the Trans-Siberian railway, which we were reasonably sure could only stretch for a party 6,000 miles or so. And the radius of the moon wasn't even an option worth considering. And then the results were read out. The 'longest' of the three options was ..... The Trans-Siberian Railway at just over 6,000 miles! I guess the QM was just jumping on the 'alternative facts' bandwagon. Fortunately we still won the quiz.

cowden0 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 6/10. I'll take that as all were guesses except isle of man and hurdy-gurdy, of which I am a proud owner of amongst my collection of musical instruments. More hurdy-gurdy questions please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
