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


Recommended Posts

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.

I can't remember what I put, which may be an issue

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.

This
I 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!

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.

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 :lol: Bye to the final would still be nice.
