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

[gkneil]

5/10 for Friday

[Cardinal Richelieu]

Was seriously thinking of deducting points for any team that posted their score in a mathematical format, but then I realised it would take even more work to do so I let you off. It has been noted though.

Well done to WRK who claims his 12th league title with a slightly-below-par score of 36, pipping Frankie into 2nd on QD. Down below, Deej and Pleslie99 have their first taste of relegation, and Tynie "Hot and Cold" Ness pushes Peasy23 into another play-off on QD.

Down in the Vauxhall Conference, Blackislekillie and LiviLion swap places yet again, with Blackislekillie scooping his 4th gong. Leedsy finds himself in the play-off, edging out Eck on everyone's favourite arbitrary way of figuring out what to do when two teams are tied ... Quiz Difference!.... Congratulations also to me, for my lowest ever placing. I really am shite.

Oh, and hard lines, irvine_buddie but the first week is always the hardest. Next week, you won't even have an excuse of being the newcomer if you come last!

So, a slightly different play-off question for @peasy23 and @Leeds Saint ... where in England will you find the National Dyslexic Association headquarters? Assuming neither of you know it, the closest person (in driving distance according to Google) will be deemed the winner. PM me your answers forthwith!

[blackislekillie]

Farewell to the seaside for another week...I will be back. Soon.

Well done LeedsSaint. I didn't think I had a hope in hell of even being close so to lose out on QD [emoji848][emoji23] makes it slightly easier

Don't bother changing the league but can i claim 16th place on the basis of same top score as DHD but he's then got a worse lower score?

thank you!

Sorry, that one must have slipped through the net old bean. Yes indeed, you can have 16th in the league, and all the kudos, plaudits and recognition that go along with it!

Brilliant - made the top 16 - living the dream.

[BigBo10]

I got 3 & 4 in the cup quiz although one question with the answer confused me. I'll wait till the round is over before making a fud of myself and asking the question.

[Dee Man]

Highest league positioning in the lofty heights of 11th in the diddy league.

The results of the play-off are in. I asked where the headquarters of the National Dyslexic Association can be found. 

Leedsy had no idea so wisely plumped for a central English location ... Leamington Spa. Peasy also guessed - and guessed the right answer - which is of course, Reading. Peasy - you gave no hint that you went for the "joke" answer, whether it was subliminal, or something else. 

But anyway, Peasy maintains his Premiership status and Leeds Saint does a Leeds and stays down in the Championship!

Jesus. That's freaky. I plumped for Reading purely on the basis that I was looking at tomorrow's fixed odds and they were one of the teams I fancied. [emoji15]

Heh. And still no idea why the answer is amusing?!?!

[Bully Wee Villa]

I'm confused. [emoji52]

Yep , I see the obvious link between Reading and not being able to read. If only I could fluke answers like that through the week then I might avoid the playoff!

It might well be bollocks. But I've 4 beers past caring

[Bully Wee Villa]

Let's go with your answer because it's funnier.

[Cardinal Richelieu]

I think I saw it on QI btw. But despite their team of researchers, QI is not as trustworthy as I'd like. 

Watched a clip recently where they claimed that St. Christopher was desaintified (definitely not a word). Thought it would make a good tie-break question, but from perusing a few Catholic hagiographical forums (my name will go down a treat there), it appears to be bollocks. 

I think it's about time I open up the tie-break question to anyone who's got a good 'un!

[eckthearab]

Afternoon folks, hope you're all well. Just a wee update in the cup. Am awaiting one more score to complete the set. The_Kincardine being the guilty culprit. Seeing as his team have just pumped the Dons I'm not expecting a response too soon [emoji23]. A wee reminder to him just in case he post his scores on a previous conversation with myself, start a new message dude.
