If you fancy taking Monday's (and the rest of the quizzes each weekday, you're welcome to join the league!). Anywhere, here are the latest league tables! Some monster scores over the last couple of days - is the quiz getting easier or are we getting smarter / luckier? Up top, MSU opens up an early lead over 3 players tied in 2nd. I'm sure WRK won't be in the relegation zone once he posts his score. Three teams vying for Gold in the Silver league. Madwullie and Swarley seem to be struggling in the semi-pro league! Jagfox's perfect 10 keeps him top despite a lacklustre score today. Even BWV is vying for promotion, which is proof positive that anything is possible. I believe all the cup play-offs are in so I'll post them this afternoon. It's tight though! I'm talking shite. Need @Leeds Saint's score before we can post the result. There's some extremely good scores in there, although nobody has got it bang on yet. Edited May 9, 2017 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 A splendidly spiffing 9/10 for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 FFS. The one time I'm not complete shite, someone gets fucking ten? In the THIRD DIVISION? FFS Jagfox. Never trust a poster with references to two teams in his username. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 So here's your play-off results... how many years, months and days separated Gagarin's first space orbit and Armstrong's first step on the moon. The teams' answers first... MSU – 8y, 2m, 2d vs Jagfox 10y, 1m, 2d Supermik – 8y, 4m, 11d vs Gman_1985 – 8y, 9m, 0d Slippery P – 8y, 2m, 14d vs Leeds Saint 8y, 3m, 11d The correct answer was 12th April 1961 - 21st July 1969 = 8 years, 2 months 7 days. Slippery P was closest, although I had to ask him twice what his original guess of "8 years, 2 months and 74 days" meant ... so congrats to MSU, Supermik and Slippery P who progress! Oh, and Irvine_Buddie went for 8y, 2m, 1d which was also very close… BIK can sun himself in knowledge that he wasn’t put out by a totally terrible guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something here? 8 years - yep, 2?? months, why not 3, 7?? days, 12th to 21st is 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the question before and remembered it was around 8 years. Utter jamminess on my part to get so close. I'll take it, tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I thought it was longer. Hell of an achievement to go from where they started to safely landing men on the moon and bringing them home in just over 8 years, with a computer the power of a calculator. Even the current missions have computer power far less than a mobile because they have to work fail-safe in extreme environments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
