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


Recommended Posts

Just a reminder that 3 of you only have till lunchtime to post your cup results for this quiz:  https://www.theguardian.com/news/quiz/2013/sep/13/daily-quiz-13-september-2013  ... otherwise, the other team goes through by default (or if both teams in a tie fail to post, one of the other losing teams gets a lucky reprieve). 

The culprits are:

@Ross.

@Zen Archer

@LongTimeLurker

@Richie95

Here's the cup results from Round 1 (Qualifiers). Only 5 teams actually posted a score...

Zen Archer X - X Ross ... both teams scratched!
Long Time Lurker 8 - Die Hard Doonhamer 5 ...  LTL goes through
Alang 1993 7 - X Richie95  ... Alang 1993 goes through by default..
Leeds Saint 5 - 7 Slippery P ... Slippery P goes through 

Since we still have 1 place in the first round proper, the two losers ... @Leeds Saint and @die hard doonhamer .. who both got 5 points, go into a play off. 

So.. a tie-breaker question... the person closest to the correct answer goes through. You have 24 hours to send me a PM with the answer to the following question:

"How many episodes of Friends have been made?"

.. league table to follow...

Very good Slippy, was never getting 7 with that set of questions

Die Hard Doonhamer's guess is in .... what are you going with?

Message received thanks Leeds Saint. 

Your guess for the number of Friends episodes was 165, with Die Hard Doonhamer plumping for 236. 

And the correct answer was 236 so well done DHD! It just goes to show that you can throw league form out the window when it comes to the cup. And we also now know DHD's Mastermind subject. 

So we can now all proceed to the first round proper of the cup (well, everyone except Leeds Saint ... but he can console himself with his two silver stars for the league). 

The draw will take place live at 2pm on Wednesday 12th October from a Portakabin in a windswept industrial estate somewhere near Kinross.
