The All New Occasionally Aussie P+B Quiz League and ☕ Occasional Cup ☕


Recommended Posts

Sorry, forgot to give you the answers for the last round. Quite a few nines, but no team managed to score a full bag. 
  1. Until recently, which famous athlete held the world record for the 100m sack race?  Mo Farah .. although some no-mark just smashed his WR by several seconds
  2. What word can precede ‘beer’, ‘bread’, and ‘nut’ to make well-known terms?  Ginger. Not brown or draft. 
  3.  In 1997, Mike Tyson bit a piece off whose ear during a boxing bout? Evander Holyfield. I think nearly everyone got this. 
  4. Which brand of whisky has an image of Lagopus lagopus scotica on the label? Famous Grouse (Alang1993 said Red Grouse but I let him off with it). 
  5.  In chess, a move in which a player sacrifices a piece in the hope of gaining in the longer term is known as a what? Gambit... not a great question, I appreciate, as sacrifice is also an accepted term. Still, what you going to do? Demand a recount?
  6. ‘The Last King of Scotland’ (2006) was set in which country? Uganda. 
  7. When TNT is expanded into the full word, how many letters does it contain? 15. Trinitrotoluene... some big names missing out on that one. 
  8. Bonzo the chimp was one of the two male stars of the film ‘Bedtime for Bonzo’. Who was his human co-star? Ronald Reagan
  9. What is the Italian for ‘None shall sleep’? Nessun Dorma. 
  10. Which Caribbean island group has a reptilian name? More than half of you went for Antilles ... in fact, thought I'd made another cardinal error for a second. But the correct answer was Cayman Islands



I preferred my own attempt at Italian tbh... Even if it was more spannish/Portuguese sounding

Up for doing this again sometime, but definitely not for a wee while. In the meantime, I'm a bit devoid of ideas for new cups. Also, I'm quite busy this weekend so might not be in front of a PC much ... what do you want to do about the cup?

I don't think anyone's answered you...but how about we take a cup break for August?  Team Diaspora has a lot of celebrating to do...

Yet you still eschew my suggestion of 'nut'.  I a pure offended btw!

If nothing else, this shows that Brexit is fucked because foreigners are mostly better.

For the second time this week I got the first 2 correct, and fucked it up completely after that.

2.

f**k sake.

I'm with my learned friend. A disastrous two and I knew the art question. That's me off the top of the table..
