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


Recommended Posts

Right, playoff answer. 

I asked how big the Grand Canyon was, in square miles. None of that metric nonsense. 

It was 1,904. If you're disputing the total, take it up with mustanghelicopters.com. That's where I go for all my crater-based factoids. 

For a place in the top flight, we have @Christophe taking on @scotfree

Christophe got lucky with the category:

"Ah! I’m currently reading a book in the Grand Canyon! It’s pennies for change from 2,000 miles I believe....let’s go 1,960 in case my opponent goes for 2k flat and hope for the best!" 

I assume he meant he is reading a book on rather than in the Grand Canyon. Otherwise the WiFi signal there is better than I expected. 

Not that it mattered as Scotfree couldn't bother his arse to send a guess in. 

Christophe survives. 

For a place in the second tier we have a threesome. Like the ones your mum likes. Contrary to what I said earlier it IS two out of the three that will be playing in the shitely-named Stealer's Wheel League this week. I may have changed my mind on this a few times, in what appears to have been the worst performance by a mod since The Style Council split up. 

Anyway... it was @mathematics vs @NJ2 vs @Tynierose

From mathematics:

"Visited the Grand Canyon last year, via a helicopter, so naturally I should have taken in all the info the pilot told me.

Sadly, I didn’t. So I’m just going to have to guess 3000 square miles." 

From NJ2:

"No idea, but it’s big right? Seems unlikely to be a round number so 5678 sq. miles?" 

And from Tynierose, man of many words:

"2000 square miles". 

They'll be dancing in the streets of mathematics and Tynierose tonight. NJ2 stays down.
