You on the sauce cardy? I wish I was. Sorry, trying to apply for jobs, arrange a birthday party AND sort out the league! To clarify ... Jagfox and Arabdownunder are down. Leeds Saint is face. You (i.e. Eckthearab) need to PM about the Dutch hillock, and I'm a pillock.

dee_62 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Damn - 2nd bottom when the initial results came out - only for me to drop to the East Stirlingshire position with the new league tables!!! Right, serious re-think on guessing tactics. May resort to pinning the tail on the donkey approach. (although, on reflection, that's pretty much my guessing technique at the moment). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 My guessing ensured a 6/10. Knew four, so my guessing success rate is 33%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Forgot about that, b*****ds. Just sent a pm with a nearly spot on answer for the new tie break. (googled the answer afterwards). Sure I've just googled it post-guess as well - fucking miles out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 So we had a tie-breaker to decide the Premiership champion, as well as who was getting promoted / relegated in the play-offs. I asked the question, "What height is the tallest hill in The Netherlands?" ... the answer was 322.7m, and it's called Vaalserberg. And here it is, what a whopper. So in the play-off, Edmund guessed 142 metres and "Honest" Eckthearab 900 metres, so congrats to Edmund and hard cheese to Eck, who I'm sure will bounce back in no time. And in the play-off for the Premiership crown, Alang guessed 33 metres, and WhiteRoseKillie guessed 14 asl .. I asked him to clarify and he said he meant 147 asl, which was a bit confusing, until I realised he was talking about above sea level, and not age / sex / location, or American Sign Language. So in traditionally dubious circumstances, WhiteRoseKillie is crowned the champion for Week 6, and Alang1993 gets a very creditable second place. League tables to follow tomorrow. We'll have the semis of the quiz tomorrow, then the final on Monday (since there are 5 rounds in the cup and only 4 weekends in January). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 And in Tuesday's quiz, I got 6. I'd never heard of it, so was reading about Holmes and Rahe's stress-level... was tempted to edit the Wikipedia article to include "Administering the P+B league" but I decided against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the question I immediately thought 300metres but thought "nahhhhh, that's a daft guess" how wrong could I be lol. Oh well, have to get my brain in order and hopefully manage at least a play off place but I doubt the Beazer Homes League is gonna be a dawdle. Plenty big names down here, so taking nowt for granted. Still, cup semi to look forward to. Can I do a hibs and win the diddly Dee trophy from the diddy league? [emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
