SlipperyP Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Idea for the new cup.Everyone is paired up randomly their scores are added together V another random pairing. You will know how your partner is before the question.The winning pair are then through to the next round. This is where it gets exciting. Each pair is split up and new pairings are randomly selected and off we go again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically it's like a foursomes (or was it fourballs) but you change teams every round? Aye... I could get with that (sorry, came over all American there). The inkling of an idea I had was to copy the format of the league cup and have mini-leagues of 4 or 5 teams - with perhaps seedings for the teams at the top of the Premiership. Any more thoughts welcome. However, I also welcome Kincardine's suggestion that we take a month's hiatus from cup duties so we can spend the weekends with our wives, girlfriends, whores and mistresses (I'm claiming ownership of the acronym WIGWAMs btw). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I get a point / walkover? You and Supermik were up against Kincardine. Never got Supermik's score (I think the PM system broke) but Kincardine jammed a 7. 11 hours ago, The_Kincardine said: 6/10 for Thur Edit: The answer to Q5 about states of matter is fucking bollocks. I'm claiming a moral 7. There was an episode of QI where they stated the answer was 6. These were: Solid Gas Liquid Plasma Bose-Einstein condensate Fermionic condensate I'm sure anyone who watched the show were screaming at the screen "WHAT ABOUT FUCKING QUARK-GLUON PLASMA?????" .. and indeed there are other candidates for inclusion. But anyway, I got the question right so I'm no caring. Edited August 3, 2017 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkneil Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 8/10 Thursday Regarding the states of matter, seems that it is 4 for 'everyday life' as in no extremes of temperature, pressure etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting out tonight, thank you very much, and I shall regale you and Tynieness with tales of some of the other states of the matter that didn't quite pass muster. Honestly, once I've had a couple of pints, I can't stop talking about neutron-degenerate matter. I'll even bring along and show you my "magical flashing light device" that lets you take the quiz when you're not on your PC. Anyway, time for a league table or 3. Still a couple of RotWorlders sleeping off their hangovers I feel. WRK is in front, although Frankie might have something to say about that when he logs in. An eye-pleasing complete SWL league sees a certain lang certain to return to the top shop. BWV is still dining out on tales of his Ride Her Haggard Cup exploits and sits bottom. Another full roll-call in the BHL, and possibly some of the highest scores we've seen in this league. Supermik and Ross are edging at the moment, but effectively, there are 4 teams chasing 3 places.

You don't get away with two sub-optimal scores in the top league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
