Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) And now it's over to Stephan de Barse, Executive Vice President of o9 Solutions, for the round-up of the Barse cup that he so kindly sponsored. The deserved winner was Afghanistan's very own Derek / Tynieness / Tynierose / Whatever he's called this week with 43 points. The DA is 2nd and Moomintroll 3rd. No idea who Thomas is but he got a very creditable 4th place along with Rugster. Of course, because Tynie won and he is a fellow mod, there will be shrieks of "fix" from the lower orders, but let's be honest - there's not much they can do. We have free reign to edit posts to make them appear more pro-mod, and if that fails, we can always pack them off to the gulags or unperson them entirely. Many military dictatorships would give their eye-teeth for that much power. There were 51 questions in total. On the bright side, everyone got the BOGOF, Zinezine Zidane, 3 Tenors, and Snickers questions. At the other end, fewer than 50% of you knew that Stirling is Scotland's smallest city. Only 14% of you got Alnwick Gardens - no bonus points for telling me you'd visited it, like I give a f**k - in fact, the only bonus point I was tempted to give was for "V for Vandetta" (for some reason P+B changed vandetta to vandetta). Oh, and nobody got the missing link - Helpma helpfully pointed out that the chemical symbol for Strontrium is St, not Sr - which I'm sure is the only reason you all failed to get it right. There's a full list of questions, answers and stats at the bottom for anyone interested. Just a note on spelling. Isosceles is widely regarded as the most mis-spelled word in the English language. Well no more. It's now the Colossus (of Rhodes). I won't name and shame anyone, but here is a selection of your answers: Colloids, Collosus, Cullosos, Colosseum (wrong place), Colusses, Collosues, Collosus, "Some temple, effin been twice as well". And similarly, I think a few of you had been at the brandy butter during the quiz, with answers including: Winning the Pooh / Winnine the Pooh / Whiney the Pooh Showsyertits (for the Model) Norah Brown / Norah Batty / Niles Barkley / Nelly Burtado / Nicola Bumface / Nae Bother (for Natasha Bedingfield) Call of Duty (for Line of Duty) The Lostprophets (for Steps) ... and my favourites , "Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain" is apparently a mnemonic used to recall porn titles and the new name for Rickrolling is "Clicky Clicky Ricky Ricky" Anyway, @SlipperyP - if you'd be so kind as to hand out the requisite cup to the winner. I'll see you all in a month and a half for a Valentines themed-quiz I'm definitely not going to do.
