NJ2 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Imagine getting knocked out by a serial loser like me.........shameful. Ps just 5 for Thursday.I can’t lie, it was a disappointing performance and we got exactly what we deserved. But I’ve got to say the lads to a man have been brilliant recently and they’re just as disappointed as anyone in that dressing room so we hope it’s just a blip and we focus on league games and safety in the top flight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) 13 minutes ago, mathematics said: 2 for Friday oooh Maths. Perhaps I should have mentioned, but one of the unwritten rules is that the person who posts the first score for a new day posts a link to the quiz. I would have added that rule, but then it would no longer have been an unwritten rule. I'll see if I can dig out the full list of written / unwritten rules In the meantime: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz?quizId=11233§ionId=1 And a tasty 7 for me...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I've found the written list of unwritten rules ... and given them a bit of an update: The first person to post their score to any day's quiz must post the link to the day's quiz. This is sacrosanct. The link to the day's quiz must be the full link and not the link that only shows the latest quiz (cos then people start posting scores for the wrong day) The person posting the link to the next day's quiz will always get a sub-par score (Mathematics' 2/10 is proof of this) The_Kincardine will not attempt the quiz until AFTER the Archers has finished (for the youngsters on this thread, the Archers is a radio soap opera for pensioners and morons). The answer provided by the question setter is always the correct one, even when it's quite clearly bollocks. No "moral" points will be awarded. You are, of course, permitted - nay expected - to piss and moan like f**k about the blatant unfairness of it all. Each team - with the exception of those in Australia - is required to complain at least once a week about how much of a nonsense the questions about Aussie sport / politicians / reality TV are. (those around in the early days of the quiz thread will wipe a nostalgic tear from the eye as they recall the Guardian daily quiz which was sadly discontinued). If you want to discuss a question from the quiz, you are free to do so, as long as you don't give anything away. Which, of course, makes it bloody difficult to talk about it. That Louis XXXX today (I've not edited this bit... sheer chance there is another Louis question today) is a case in point. The fact that people knew that the right answer was wrong, but one of the wrong answers was right would lead you to correctly identify the right wrong answer. Don't use spoilers to discuss the answers either. People claim they don't work, although they quite plainly do. I think it's the young uns with their mobile phones and Crazy Frogs that have a problem. There is an arcane methodology for determining who finishes higher among teams with equal points. This is on its third revision and is called Brand New Quiz Difference (BNQD for short). Don't bother trying to work out its vagaries - just know that you haven't been diddled. At the end of the week, there is a play-off for the 3rd top / 3rd bottom teams. The deadline for submitting these play-off answers is arbitrary, and the questions themselves put the shite Aussie-centric questions to shame (Slippery P has taken on the mantle of play-off question asker and the quality has improved inexorably) If you need to take a previous quiz for the week, you can access the link for the archive on the 1st post of this thread. There's also sometimes a cup which runs over the weekends. Except sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes it runs during the week. Usually it will be buried beneath a dozen pages of other people's scores. It must be built in a shoddy online quiz app that's riddled with ads / spyware. It will be run by a random person (you won't know who it is until they start posting it). It must have at least two glaring errors for every 10 questions. Questions about Japanese (and recently Hawaiian) islands appear randomly... sometimes you can go a month without seeing one, other times, you get 3 in a week. The only rule to remember is that the answer used to ALWAYS be Honshu. That was until people started answering Honshu by default, at which point, they cunningly changed the right answer to Hokkaido for just long enough to confuse everyone, before switching back to the default Honshu.
