deej Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 A bum clenching 5/10. Everything is fine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 6/10. Or 5 as I guessed the contentious question "correctly". All academical anyway Dougie as a season of mid table filth assures another season by the seaside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowden0 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 A flagging 4/10 to finish the week. Knew four. Couldn't buy a guess today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Fabulous Friday 5/10. Even managed a guess (albeit an educated Afghan one) No Aussie scores correct, so I'm not sure how that changes my score. [emoji87] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) 6/10 for Friday. Knew four and was fairly confident on a fifth. A lot of, mainly unproductive, guessing involved. Aussie sport and Aussie politics reliably disappointing. Edited March 30, 2017 by Frankie S 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Could be facing a 3 way cup tie AND a demotion play off over the weekend. Looks like some of the youth squad will have to make the step up (start studying Aussie soaps and US comedies). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Knew 4, educated guess on Olympic participant for 5/10. ETA: Went wrong way on Fiji question too. Shite question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 6/10 for Friday, knew 3, guessed 3. Nailed the Aussie sport again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well this could be contentious. Due to the Australian making a f**k of things, there are technically zero, one or two correct answers for one of the questions. Some of the teams have claimed their extra point for going for the correct answer (which was marked as incorrect). Whereas others have not - either cos they didn't know about the error, they didn't care, or cos they went for another answer. This could have a real bearing on champions / promotions and relegations. So... which of the following would be fairest... 1) The answer (and therefore score) given by the Oz is "correct". Tough titties on anyone who guessed the real correct answer. 2) Scores should be adjusted to mark people down (if they got the question wrong (but marked right by Oz)) or up (if they got it right but marked wrong by Oz). But not everyone has declared. 3) Scores should be adjusted to mark up people for people who didn't receive the score, but did get the question right. However, However, those who received the "correct" answer from Oz will keep their point. Again, not everyone has declared. 4) Disregard the question and nobody gets a point for the question. 5) Delete the entire P+B Quiz Thread and forget I started this whole sorry post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'd be tempted just to use the scores that people declared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 4/10, including the wrong right answer. Knew 2, 2 & 10. Correct guesses for Playboy contributor, although nearly sure of that, and of course the wrong right answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 All you can do is use what people declared. If people feel they were cheated out of a point and add one for themselves, or admit to gaining an unfair point and deduct one, then so be it. The whole quiz is based on trust, after all. We could all just pretend we got 10/10 every day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisI openly admit I had no idea on the answer, I guessed, was wrong, could've been right, didn't include it in my score cause I was wrong! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We chose to do the Aussie quiz so the convict ref is always right. No exceptions. People who knew the real world answer should have predicted that the Aussies would have got it wrong. They're probably doing the quiz half cut from an Earls Court doss house anyway. Edited March 30, 2017 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) 7/10 for Thursday 4/10 for Friday, didn't get the wrong one, demand a bye to the final in the cup as compensation. Just googled the wrong one and Google gives the same answer as the Australian, so they must have changed it anyway Bye to the final would still be nice.

supermik Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 4/10. Got the wrong question "correct" so put me down for a 3/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 A fair way would be that if you got the real world answer from Brisbane to Fiji, or the official Aussie answer, you get a point. Otherwise zilch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
