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


Recommended Posts

Morning folks. The rest of the cup score are in so here's the results.

Cardinal Richelieu v gkneil
A gut busting first half, both sides going at it hammer and tongs. Solid scoring though GK edged ahead at the half. Cardy was on a mission second half and took control amassing a 4 point lead by the end of the second half.
Cardinal Richelieu (4+5) 9 v 6 (5+1) gkneil

Marr1 v Gman1985
Scintillating stuff at the start of this match. Both sides going all out for a lead but neither could gain an advantage. Second half equally as tight though defences on top till GMan managed to nick a late winner.
Marr1 (5+2) 7 v 8 (5+3) Gman1985

That concludes the first round matches though 3 of them have been drawn and require a tie break question. These matches are
Welshbairn v Eckthearab v Bigbo10
Blackislekilie v Dee62
Scotfree v Livilion

Day 1 of Week 13 of the New League... and it's the usual suspects leading the charge, with the newcomers struggling to cope with life in the top flight.

And in the Beazer Homes League... it's the usual suspects at the top! Don't think we've ever had 0/10 from two teams on the same day, so that's something to be proud of DHD and Gman!

Kicking myself over the Canadian question. Since I've been several times and pride myself on this sort of question, I sat and wrote them all down. Took a while.

Note to self. Nebraska is not, and never has been, in fucking Canada. 

Whenever I'm asked a question like this in a pub quiz - to give a recent example - how many chemical elements start with an 'N'?, I (or we) try to write them all down, then we invariably worry that we've missed one. Hence the frequent adoption of the '+ 1 Rule' (it's very often one more than you think, though with the proviso that on a small set this is less likely to apply). My 50/50 deliberation was down to whether to apply the rule or not. Luckily I went the right way.

Just waiting on [mention=3803]scotfree[/mention] and then I can reveal the results




Breaking all the rules

...pleased that my efforts in attempting to memorise some Japanese island facts paid off.
