Leeds Saint Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 OK, I've got one. In honour of our quiz setters love of Japanese islands, how long does it take the quickest scheduled bullet train to travel between Tokyo and Osaka (in Minutes) @blackislekillie, @Cardinal Richelieu BTW they are both on Honshu, (the cities that is not BIK and HE) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Saint Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The contestants were obviously chomping at the bit. First up BIK plumped for 123 mins HE decided Honshu isn't that big! 94 mins The fastest quoted time (via Osaka stations own website) is a nice round 150mins @blackislekillie lives to fight another play off and our very own @Cardinal Richelieu returns with his tail between his legs to the SWL. Here ends the scores of the Leeds jury, back to you in the studio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hadn't forced my hand to declare my score, things might have transpired differently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just had a sneaky log in at work and found out I was in a play off. First time I have remained in the top tier for more than a week. Every diddy has his day. [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Right. You've had yer chance. AFJ scoops his 3rd scoop. MSU is in second. Frankie fell on his sword, and all the Kings Horse's couldn't make me avoid relegation. BIK is in his 2nd play off this season. Edmund scoots back to the top-shop, edging out Salvo. Peasy23 is in the play-offs. Down in the nether regions... Dyl and SlipperyP are down, and Ross is in the play-offs. Tynieness was probably too busy engaging in "extra-curricular activities" to post a score for Friday, despite me texting him twice. gkneil romped the BHL. Ziggy and Sevesnape are equal 2nd. In the interests of fairness, I should have a separate play-off to decide who's in the play-off against Ross.. But in the interests of me having better things to do, it's not going to happen. So it's a 3 way play-off. In summary, @blackislekillie vs @peasy23 and @Ross. vs @Ziggy vs @sevesnape ... According to the highly accurate Wikipedia article I'm looking at, how many countries (including the Russians who are classed as "ANA") are competing at the Winter Olympics this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest. I'll leave the parsing of, " all the Kings Horse's couldn't make me avoid relegation" to the jury of the quiz thread but I don't see a happy outcome for you, bud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Well that's all the results in. I asked how many nations were competing at the Winter Olympics. The correct answer, according to Wikipedia, was 93. And although Time magazine says 92, I'm going with 93. First up, the Premiership play-off... Blackislekillie went for, in his words, "wildly inaccurate" 63 countries. Meanwhile, Peasy23 opted for a "scientific approach" and plumped for his old house number, 97. And it worked! Up goes Peasy23.... Meanwhile, in our 3 way play-off, Ross plumped for 80, Ziggy went for a very commendable 95, while Sevesnape shat the bed and said 50. So up goes Ziggy. Commiserations to Ross. and Sevesnape. edit: I'm an idiot. That would mean 3 relegated from the SWL and only 2 promoted. So Ross keeps his SWL spot. Hurrah!
