Isn't question 13 going to be answered before closing date?

q8) i dont understand. Youre looking for a unique first name, but dont want a number, indicating a certain king (for example) with several wives would be correct? But this isnt unique as there were several if his name with numbers?

Please clarify?

Unique would mean the only monarch to have ruled England with that regnal name. So, if there were a Nigel II, you can't pick Nigel. That's my reading of it, anyway.

I took it to mean that you would answer Nigel, Patrick, etc, but he doesn't need you to specify Nigel II, Patrick VI, etc.

I read it that a certain king with 6 wives would be acceptable but as the number was not required he would be whaled with other kings of the same name.

This question was on the lottery quiz show on Saturday night I think, it is just asking for unique first names of monarchs since 1066 - seems a pretty straightforward question to me.

So if there were 7 kings called Charles and one of them ruled after 1066, Charles would be a valid answer. You just don't specify Charles VII - "Charles" is sufficient.....and so on.

and appreciate the effort that goes into these even more now.

Good luck

I read it as Charles, Henry etc. would be fails as they were not uniquely named. If there had been a King Cory or Queen Chardonnay then they would be correct answers.

Ante farce.

Ha, yeh thats me, the lovable failure, would be nice if my parents thought the same

Glad wobbly bridge did something for you in the previous quiz. In this one, I am feeling relatively confident. I think there is one wrong answer only. Surely mid table with that, can't be bottom. If it does get me bottom, then the world of quizmastery is against me and then i won't know what to do with myself.

Give up? Never!

After riding high in second spot until the final question I now found myself with this weeks RSQ.....

The score for each question is the number of people who give that answer.

The most popular answer is the sheep.

Incorrect answers receive the sheep score plus 5 points.

Lowest score wins.

Please try and answer from inside your deep, dark memories, research is not allowed but I cannot police it so it is up to your conscience.

You may choose to pass one question and will receive 0 points for that question, except for question unlucky 13 which is not passable

Errors where it is obvious what the answer is will not receive a penalty, unless it is wrong of course!

Questions

1. In honour of the winter Olympics; name a sport that is part of the 2014 programme that takes place outside (and include a discipline please, just skiing or snowboarding will be an incorrect answer)

This cannot be passed....
Unlucky 13... how many entries (total) will there be in the Sky Poker UK Championships Main Event. Percentage difference either over or under (rounded to the nearest percent; 0.49 down 0.50 up) will form your score to be SUBTRACTED from your total. So an exact answer will get you a zero score, 1% away is -1 point etc. The closer you are the less points you lose.


If clarity is required, say below and I will try my best. Have fun. Entries will be listed below;
