Too much bloody time on his hands!Why don't you get any nice magnolia flags? Cos flags were usually generated by men, and most men wouldn't know what magnolia looks like. Unless, of course, you're "two-spirit". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 1 hour ago, Cardinal Richelieu said: I'm so confused I can't even remember what the Dutch flag looks like any more. Also, why don't you get any purple or orange flags? And your Brazilian flag didn't appear BWV! Anyway.. in the cup replay replay, I posed the question "30 random people in a room. What's the % probability at least 2 of them share a birthday".... Jagfox went for 40%, And Ross ("I've read books about this") plumped for 66.6%. The correct answer was 70.6% so congrats to Ross who goes into Friday's draw! Derren Brown explains it in "Tricks of the mind". I think it was also in one of the Ben Goldacre books, and possibly one of the books by the guys who wrote Freakonomics. Get it roon ye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good book, though I don't remember the bit about the birthday problem. Did love the chapter about memory palaces and the like... so much so that I learned to how to memorise a deck of cards. I was a hit at parties, as you can imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Having had a quick look at the table I suggest we give the seasiders a season to improve their facilities to Premiership standards before introducing the pyramid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 5/10 for Wednesday, only sure of 1 (author), fairly sure of fleg (after all, those colours...) and 3 inspired guesses for computer, grand prix and tv series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor showing guys! 7/10 with sled dog, Barry Williams and singer wrong. Don't lump me in with the rest of them getting 6 or less thank you very much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thought I knew 7. Got 5/10. Ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Meh. 5/10. Knew pm, singer, actress, pope and lake. Wrong guesses for the rest. Playoff beckons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) That's better. Knew 6, the tennis one was a process of elimination, was fairly confident on Central American capitals and the iconic entertainer was a guess. As is now traditional, got the Aussie sport question wrong. 9/10. Edited December 7, 2016 by Frankie S 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Again, I think it's far too hasty to allow seaside league teams promotion to the Premiership before we've thought through all the ramifications. Surely everyone would agree that a season's/week's cooling off period would be in order? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Knew six, ended with a guesstastic nine. About time I got an Aussie sport one right, but missed out on the tennis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Knew 4 and scored 4/10. This is getting ridiculous. All 4 where in the first five questions. Terrible run at guessing this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
