Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Oh FFS. Hungover, got 3/10 in the league and my massive post about the cup result has been deleted. What a start to Monday morning. Anyway, if you want the answers look at WhiteRoseKillie's post as he got them all except the 39 to 107 question, which was "The number of steps to the presentation area in Wembley" (don't blame me for that question, blame the Derbyshire Quiz League!) The_Kincardine 11.5 - 24 WhiteRoseKillie Here's yer cup. Please keep it polished. Sigh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine 11.5 - 24 WhiteRoseKillie Here's yer cup. Please keep it polished. Sigh. Cheers, YE. For those who haven't seen it (i.e. everybody but the Cardinal...), here's my Final answer sheet. Okey Dokey, here goes with my attempt at an unprecedented Double. Hell of a quiz, btw. Countries.# a. Ethiopa - damn those pesky Eritreans and their independence! b. Bolivia, I think. c. Kryzgystan? Please don't penalise the scrabble-inspired spelling if correct. Brands. a. The only place I've seen Victorinox is on the Swiss Army Knife, so I'll go with that. b. Quality Street. Thanks, Mrs Boswell (O Grade English teacher) c. Captain Morgan. One spelling two meanings a. Invalid b. Recreation c. Unionised. I liked that wee round! Ex-Teachers. a. William Golding? Can't remember his name as a Booker winner, but that's got to be Lord of the Flies. b. Jim "speedboat scam" Bowen, on Bullseye. c. Art Garfunkel? He certainly used to be a teacher, but I can only think of the one top hit. First/Last singles. a. Depeche Mode. b. Madness. c. The Fun Boy Three were on the first one, but they didn't last, as far as I know. Hence my final answer of Bananarama. Trivia. 1.Sir Chris Hoy 2. Numbering of the Superbowl. I guess a single "L" is kind of difficult to incorporate into an impressive logo/ad campaign. 3. Mental old Glenda Jackson. 4. David Cameron. 5. I assume Port Stanley - somewhere in the Falklands, anyway. 6. God alone knows. It's trebled, if that's any good. 7. There's a place called cavan near Scunny, so I'll say that. Cavan. 8. Alaska, surely. 9. It's a kind of light blue. 10. Is this one of those "witty" things lexicographers get up to? As it reads the same forwards and backwards, I'm going for palindromes. A fear of those would indeed be irrational, mind. Looks like I got credited with a point for a wrong answer, as well... Tainted Title, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, which question did I credit you incorrectly? Re: cup.There are 4 weekends in November, which goes well with a round of 16, 8, 4 and the final. However, it does mean we'll need to have a few "three way ties" in Round 1, which is no bad thing. Might even work in the real game. Neil Doncaster, if you're reading this and you fancy trialling 3 teams playing a match at once, give me a shout (and some money). I've even put together a wee video on how it might work...

I should give up on this week. Your Eminence, the one which Kinky's appeal should rest on was the Lincolnshire/Ireland one - as I put, I think there's a Cavan near Scunthorpe, so I went for that. You had Louth as the (unarguably) correct answer, so Pub Quiz Rule Number One should really apply. Had the score been 24-23, of course, I would have kept my mouth shut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Very honest of you WRK. I'll put you down to 23 and then give you a bonus honesty point to bump you back up to 24. Here's the league table. Plenty of mediocre scores in there, including my own. Of course, the big surprise is that one of the bêtes noires from previous weeks, Supermik, has got off to an absolute flier with a massive 9 points. Long may it continue!

deej Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Knew Vice President and Larb, guessed 4 correctly for a 6/10 start to the week. Not sure I'll be able to do Thursday or Fridays as I'm off on my travels again, so i'll need some solid scores tomorrow and Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
