Jacksgranda Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Happy with 5/10, only knew 2 (Tsar & author). Some inspired/lucky guessing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Saint Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 7, and really should have been better, changed mind on the airport and should have got the tsar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Well, that's 4 of the 6 tie-break answers in. Once @@alang1993 and @supermik "guess the length", we can have the draw for the 2nd round. And in the league.....the usual suspects top the chart, although Jagfox and I are still in contention to get our first treasured star. Down at the bottom, G_Man and The_Kincardine only need to show up to leave Bully Wee Villa trailing by two points .... his gold star now just a distant fond memory for his band of weary supporters Edited: for Edmund's missing star and Gman's score Trophy Cabinet M Tu W Th F TOTAL Edmund ★★ 8 8 16 WhiteRoseKillie ★★★★★★ 7 7 14 alang1993 ★ 7 7 14 Cardinal Richelieu 6 7 13 Jagfox99 6 7 13 Ross. 7 5 12 Jacksgranda 7 5 12 eckthearab ★★★★★ 6 6 12 Blackislekillie 6 6 12 WILLIEA 6 6 12 Peasy23 6 6 12 Jmothecat 6 6 12 Leeds Saint ★★★ 5 7 12 BigBo10 ★ 6 5 11 G_Man1985 ★★★ 6 5 11 Dee_62 6 4 10 die hard doonhamer ★ 6 4 10 Swarley 5 5 10 SlipperyP ★ 4 6 10 welshbairn 5 4 9 Wren Road 5 4 9 Supermik ★ 4 5 9 Bully Wee Villa ★ 4 3 7 The_Kincardine 6 6 Dayman 0 Edited November 8, 2016 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Some impressive scores this week. A mediocre 6/10 for me. Knew 5 1/2 (50/50 on the airport) so I should send my guessometer away for servicing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct answer for "What was the length of the Titanic" is 269m... Alang1993 vs Eckthearab ... Eck got the answer bang on ... Alang was only 6 metres out and is incredibly unlucky to get papped out, especially since he got 9 in his cup game and some of the wild guessing in the next match... Blackislekillie vs Supermik ... Blackislekillie was nearly 100 metres out but still goes through... SlipperyP vs Peasy23 ... Peasy was full of pre-match vigour, with claims that the Titanic is one of his specialist categories. His guess of c. 270 metres was good enough to claim the last spot in the quarter finals. Unlucky to SlipperyP ... 250m wasn't a million miles away and would have got you victory in the leg above. As it stands, the following sides are in tomorrow's last 8 draw... alang1993 Blackislekillie Dee_62 Jagfox99 Leeds Saint Peasy23 WhiteRoseKillie WILLIEA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Bit of a stooshie at the end of the last round of University Challenge. Wonder if the outcome would be different if Cardi was in the Paxman role.

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Amazed myself by getting three out of four on the classical music round on that. Admittedly, I was just picking a bloke from the right nation and hoping for the best, but still... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Despite his enjoying a bit of self-admonishment thank goodness His Eminence has the league running with less controversy than the Cup. A drop from the top 6/10 for hump day. Guessed co-star, swimming, 7th wife, author.
