SlipperyP Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks you @Cardinal Richelieu. The pleasure was all yours. Was thinking maybe the Wooden Spoon could have a column, so we can see who the real fikos are. Souls among us demand to know. Never stopped pishing it down this week, so I've not been out much, have a ace for the Playoff. Yes Play Off Time. This week on serve are; Little & Large @Ziggy v @German Jag & Mary, Sue & Bob @The DA v @Ross. v @blackislekillie Novak Djokovic won the Mens Single Championship at Wimbledon in 2018, 6-2 6-2 7-6 against Kevin Anderson. A total of 29 games were played in that final. How many games were played in the entire tournament (mens singles only). Answer must be Hawkeyed to the PM court no longer than 06:00 Monday TT Good Luck everyone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 A little latter than usual today. Time please! Little & Large @Ziggy I’ll show my workings Slip, I reckon there are 128 players in the competition, if that’s right then that’s 127 matches multiplied by a guess of 41 games per match. My guess is 5,207. if there aren’t 128 players then i’ll guess Honshu. v @German Jag 4000. Based on 64 1st round games so 127 in total. Avg. of 3½ sets per match and 9 games per set. & Mary, Sue & Bob @The DA Worked out via an insanely complicated secret formula to be 4,590. @Ross.I think there are 63 ties in the mens tournament. 29 games per tie would seem a little low, so I’m saying 35 is closer to the average. 35 * 63 = 2205 games. v @blackislekillie FAULT Novak Djokovic won the Mens Single Championship at Wimbledon in 2018, 6-2 6-2 7-6 against Kevin Anderson. A total of 29 games were played in that final. How many games were played in the entire tournament (mens singles only). 4,734 games Congratulations to @Ziggy & @The DA See you in the future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story of my life. Couldn't remember if it started at the last 64 players or with 64 ties. That extra round was the difference... 7/10 for Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's neck and neck between Ross and blackislekillie so they're both in the play-offs. deej - a once solid top-tabler, must be wondering WTF he needs to do to relive his glory days. Why was I not in a playoff? It's either cause I never got an 8, blatant discrimination against returning quizzers, or you have something against three-ways. I'm pretty sure it's the second one. Definitely not the third. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 8 for Monday... Temperature and King wrong. Now that's done can get on with a day of idle leasure by the pool. Home on Wednesday sigh.. Scores will probably take a dip thereafter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
