Title: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on March 31, 2020, 07:40:43 PM Bit of a silly one where I'm sure most people will be guessing quite a few of the answers.
1. How many weeks has Tiger Woods been ranked World number 1? 2. Magnus Carsen holds the highest ever FIDE rating. What is it? 3. Neymar's transfer fee from Barcelona to PSG is the highest ever. How many million in Pounds sterling? 4. The 1999 NRL Grand Final has the highest attendance for a domestic Rugby League match. How many were there? 5. Joe Calazaghe had 46 Pro fights winning them all. How many rounds did he box? 6. The PSA rankings for Squash, May 2019, has Ali Farag at number one with an average points ranking of 2080. How many does the second ranked player have? 7. The 2019 Tour De France was how many miles long? 8. Dan Carter is the highest scoring Rugby Union International player. How many points has he scored? 9. Phil Taylor won 14 PDC Titles between 1994 and 2018. How many legs did he play in those finals? 10. How many people attended the final day of the Cheltenham 2020 festival? Could be some big scores in this one. Will try and do a non Arb like reveal tomorrow evening.

Ironside had an unique set of answers, all 2,000. Amazingly he hasn't come last. I've left question 4 until last as that was the one with the most variance other than someone who will remain anon for now. Can't seem to copy and paste from excel so apologies if the tables look messed up. Was surprised at the answers for the first question as Tiger was pretty unstoppable between 1997 and 2009. 1. How many weeks has Tiger Woods been ranked World number 1?

One of only two correct answers for the entire quiz. I guess this is one where you either know it or don't. Early leader Karabiner obviously didn't.

7. The 2019 Tour De France was how many miles long? I actually knew this as it was an anagram of 2019 and I'm pretty sure it was mentioned quite a lot. Answer 2091 Now, maybe this is a Scottish thing but Ironsides best round by far whilst Celtic and Scotty went haywire. I'm guessing Celtic either had a misclick or thought the entire tour was the same as a ride from Bristol to London whilst Scotty obviously thought they raced to the moon and then some (Sorry for taking the piss).

It was going so well up to that point. Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 01, 2020, 05:32:55 PM Think yoou have the darrts question wrong rubbish. Think you have taken the number of sets and not legs. Each set is the best of five legs. Its imposssible it is 125. Yeah, meant sets not legs. I'm an idiot. Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: bunnydas8888 on April 01, 2020, 05:33:56 PM Last two questions and huge swings to be made. 10. How many people attended the final day of the Cheltenham 2020 festival? Answer A Coronavirus dodging 68,859 Bunny must have been there with his incredibly specific answer? Everybody else rounded up. Name Guess Points Bunnyd 68582 277 Nirvana 68000 859 Karmad 70000 1141 Juperj 70000 1141 Celtic. 70000 1141 Tighty. 65000 3859 Dacorb 65000 3859 Arbboy 61500 7359 Tal.... 60000 8859 Scotty 80000 11141 Doobs. 55000 13859 berger 44000 24859 Karabin 30000 38859 Ironside 2000 66859 Robbie 175000 106141 I figured everyone would give a specific number so decided to throw in something random on the end for no good reason! Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 01, 2020, 05:34:55 PM Although I've cocked up the Darts question I'm quite sure it hasn't effected the overall result. Please feel free to flame away though.
My humble apologies to everyone. Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Karabiner on April 01, 2020, 05:35:14 PM Void question in that case?

Please feel free to flame away though. My humble apologies to everyone. No worries. Only a bit of fun. Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: arbboy on April 01, 2020, 05:37:09 PM rough guide would be to multiple the 125 sets by 4 legs on average that would be about right without having to actually find the actual number of legs. If you do want to modify it.
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: nirvana on April 01, 2020, 05:39:30 PM Another solid round for Karabiner who wins his second stage (sorry again). Karmadope, who has been top five since round one, streaks ahead and is the only person under 1,000 points. Even with Ironsides flawed strategy I think we now know who is going to bring up the rear. Name Overall Karmad 915 berger 1227 Tal...... 1238 Doobs. 1383 Juperj 1594 Tighty. 2005 Bunnyd 2063 Robbieb 2440 Karabin 2789 Nirvana 3128 Dacorb 3926 Arbboy 4163 Celtic.. 5851 Ironside 6257 Scotty 300237 For full closure i am mostly scottish breeding wise so the jocks are currently filling the bottom 4! Irn Bru question needed Given results in these so far, it's time for me to confess I'm 50% Scottish and so genetics counting heavily against me Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 01, 2020, 05:40:51 PM Bunny swoops into second place after an inspired answer. Karmadope puts in another solid effort on the gallops. Robbie unfortunately unseated his rider but knowing what Ironsides answer is going to be for the last question, will he stay in the bottom two?
Your quizmaster had to be put down after a serious fall at the oche.

Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: nirvana on April 01, 2020, 05:47:33 PM Out of interest, what was the Q4 attendance answer ?
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 01, 2020, 05:48:09 PM I moved question 4 to last to build the tension as the scope for cocking up on this one is massive. Likewise, an inspired guess could see someone go from mid table insecurity into a promotion challenging place.
With that in mind, Nirvana's last post seems almost like the bluff of the century. 4. The 1999 NRL Grand Final has the highest attendance for a domestic Rugby League match. How many were there? Answer a whopping 107,999 Name Guess Points Karmad 105000 2999 berger 98800 9199 Nirvana 120000 12001 Tal.... 92000 15999 Robbieb 92000 15999 Tighty. 125000 17001 Bunnyd 89421 18578 Karabin 86000 21999 Arbboy 85000 22999 Doobs 140000 32001 Dacorb 74000 33999 Juperj 69000 38999 Celtic.. 67000 40999 Scotty 60000 47999 Ironside 2000 105999 Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 01, 2020, 05:56:27 PM Karmadope absolutely hoses up, 12,000 clear of the genetically challenged Nirvana. A solid finish from Bunny sees him clinch the final podium place. Tighty and Tal claim more top five finishes. Robbies Cheltenham gamble backfires and sees him finish in the bottom three. Ironside incredibly lucky for a last but one finish. Scotty dreading watching 150 months of a gruelling 300,000 mile tour de France. I pity the poor bastards riding in it.

Whose next? Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: arbboy on April 01, 2020, 05:59:25 PM great stuff rubbish thanks!
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: nirvana on April 01, 2020, 06:00:23 PM Haha, 50% other. Nice memorialising of the legend Lee Dixon in the commentary too - thanks for doing this, much appreciated
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Ironside on April 01, 2020, 06:02:52 PM i would of been good if i had read the attendance questions
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: Karabiner on April 01, 2020, 06:03:35 PM Thanks Rubbish for another good-humoured distraction.
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: bergeroo on April 01, 2020, 06:04:49 PM Just posted a number quiz I made today for my friends. Will be lower scores than in this one!
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: KarmaDope on April 01, 2020, 08:06:19 PM Thanks for running Rubbish, gg all.
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: bergeroo on April 01, 2020, 08:12:07 PM I guess I will be satisfied with mid table obscurity - thanks for the questions!
Title: Re: Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition Post by: scotty2hatty on April 01, 2020, 09:24:34 PM Hahahah, I am so bad. Great stuff Rubbish, loved the commentary.
