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


Recommended Posts

Bloody hell Deej. Even guessing 3 correctly is a 1 in 64 chance! Don't think I'll ever be that lucky! 

With most of the results in, Deej has rocketed to the top of the league on goal difference. Down at the bottom, I hope Alang1993 is okay!

I hope you took issue with this incorrect answer at the quiz? The original part of the wall built for the Ming dynasty was approx. 5000 miles. They have since discovered many more parts which is why the distance has increased to just over 13,000 miles long. I hope the point dropped didnt cost you the win.

 

ETA I noticed you still won emoji6.png

I was going to take issue with the QM, but was talked out of it by my team mates, who to be honest were doubting my protestations that the wall was over 13k in length anyway, plus we needed to get away sharpish to get to the next pub quiz.

The Great Wall question was part of a jackpot round, where you had to get all 8 right to scoop the jackpot, but we got the next question wrong anyway ('Who is taller, Tom Hanks or Brad Pitt?). I've since double checked it, and it is 13,170 miles long, according to a variety of sources including the Great Wall of China official website!

So a new week, a new hope. Re: Frankie's post... this was the main reason I volunteered to create the quiz each day. However, a majority of people on the people here voted to stay with the Aussie quiz (and it wasn't just the Aussie-based people!) ... you mentioned that you're in a couple of online quiz league type things .. do they not have a daily quiz we could use? Regardless, I hope we don't end up with a PDC / BDO type split. 

The two online leagues I take part in are subscription sites, and subject to copyright protection.

I do regularly write (and accumulate quiz) questions though, so might be up for setting the occasional quiz, even if work commitments would conspire against me doing it regularly.

I would have went with Tom hanks?
