Title: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 02:02:50 AM MY WEE COUSIN HAS LEFT THE TELLY ON SOME CHANNEL THAT HAS A CAMP LOOKING BLOKE TRYING TO GET ME TO CALL IN AND HAVE A GO AT THE NUMBERS GAME.
I AM KEEPING AN EYE ON THE LIVE UPDATES AND PLAYING A FEW CASH GAMES BUT THIS IS ON IN THE BACK GROUND I CAN'T GET FID THE FLIPPING REMOTE TO TURN IT OVER. WHAT A LOAD OF PISS ITS CLEARLY SOME SORT OF FIX BECAUSE WHEN U LOOK AT IT ADD IT UP AND ALL SOMEONE HAS UNDOUBTEDLY GUESSED TINHE ANSWER AND ITS NOT RIGHT. ANYWAY I AM GOING FOR 515 BUT I AINT PHONING IN! SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, JUST NOTICED WHEN I GOT TO THE LAST BIT I TYPED THIS OUT IN CAPS!! OOPS Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 02:05:34 AM make that 540 i just counted again, this is infuriating.
Especially when stupid people phone in and are clearly just guessing random numbers like 14 how?? Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 02:09:47 AM Right its on Channel 5.
So come on blondes anyone not watching anything switch it over and have a guess on this thread. Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: Poppet7 on November 19, 2006, 02:15:34 AM 248 ???
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: Poppet7 on November 19, 2006, 02:16:29 AM ninety III - 93
110 45 =248 Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 02:23:22 AM I done it like:
Red box 90 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 11 + 111 + 93 Purple box 45 + 4 + 5 Green Box 110 + 1 + 1 +11 + 10 I think that comes to 540 Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: Poppet7 on November 19, 2006, 02:25:04 AM Ooooh thats quite clever actually, my answer is too simple
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 02:32:38 AM Now i need to stay up to see if i was right
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: Poppet7 on November 19, 2006, 02:39:34 AM Go on, call it, you know you want to :)
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: bolt pp on November 19, 2006, 03:00:08 AM I done it like: Red box 90 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 11 + 111 + 93 Purple box 45 + 4 + 5 Green Box 110 + 1 + 1 +11 + 10 I think that comes to 540 Even though they're in seperate boxes it doesnt specify that you only have to add the numbers with in each box to eachother, given that the permutations are about 3 times as much! I would think its nearer 1550 - 1600 Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 03:07:04 AM I done it like: Red box 90 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 11 + 111 + 93 Purple box 45 + 4 + 5 Green Box 110 + 1 + 1 +11 + 10 I think that comes to 540 Even though they're in seperate boxes it doesnt specify that you only have to add the numbers with in each box to eachother, given that the permutations are about 3 times as much! I would think its nearer 1550 - 1600 Your too high Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: Poppet7 on November 19, 2006, 03:08:07 AM Do we know the answer yet, I'm watching something much more interesting on SkyThree! "Killing Mum and Dad" it's quite interesting! lol
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: bolt pp on November 19, 2006, 03:09:25 AM I guess 1416 then ::)
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 03:13:08 AM Its clearly a con.
I think its 1419 Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 03:22:24 AM I think I prefer watching paint dry at least that way you can get a buzz of the fumes.
she says i will have a caller before I count to 10 then it takes like 3 minutes to count to 9 she says before I count to 10 I'll have a caller I will count to 10 in the next 4 minutes start that clock!! Thats a load of pants if you ask me. Count to 10 should b3 1, 2,3 ,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 easy peasy! Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 03:24:38 AM I guess 1416 then ::) did u just get through Bolt?? ;nana; Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: TightEnd on November 19, 2006, 03:56:28 AM blonde has never been so much fun or more informative.

Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: GlasgowBandit on November 19, 2006, 01:01:48 PM Just out by med having stayed up till the end to watch the answer was 1419. I knew that when there was a one in 10 Chance, I even called in 4 times but was unsuccessfull ah well another £3 down the tube.
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: Decider on November 20, 2006, 04:50:55 PM You are only encouraging these shows to make money:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6036791.stm I can't find a link with the odds at the moment, but I'm sure you have more chance of hitting a Royal Flush in 5 card stud than getting through on one of these TV Quiz lines and winning :) £3 wasted.

D'OH!!! **** *** ****** ***** ******** Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: wormster on November 21, 2006, 03:02:44 PM I've just emailed Ofcom with a complaint about ITV Play from Sunday evening. They had the puzzle "Add the miles - Bolton 4 miles, Widnes 12 miles, Formbey 23 miles" - somehow the answer wasn't 39 but 95!!!! I emailed ITV Play to ask them how they got that answer & they replied that is was a difficult puzzle and "it's maybe that you need to look at this puzzle laterally"
Can anyone on blonde work out how 4+12+23 = 95 Wormser Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: bolt pp on November 21, 2006, 03:08:36 PM Its the same premise as the puzzle glasgow bandit posted, read the whole of the thread.
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: wormster on November 21, 2006, 03:53:20 PM however they came to the answer - it is a total con!!!! the sooner these channels are taken off the air the better.
Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: KeithyB on November 21, 2006, 07:36:25 PM Total con and the music ones are just as bad!
Caught the end of one whilst channel hopping the other night called PopTheQ or something similar. The question was musical duos and I joined just as the answers were being revealed. Only one had been guessed by the callers at this stage which was........Kylie & Jason! ( awwwwwwwww cute! and Kylie's ok too...lol ) As for the others? Well ponder the topic "musical duos" for as long as you like and have as many guesses as you want I'll wager you'll never come up with the missing answers!! I'll post the ones I can remember in the next post so you have a chance to think about it if you wish without seeing them. Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: KeithyB on November 21, 2006, 07:42:55 PM So who did you come up with.....Sonny & Cher ? Erasure? Pet Shop Boys? Everley Brothers? Robson & Jerome? Righteous Brothers?
Don't be silly.......what you needed come up with to win this quiz was............ Les Paul & Mary Ford, Air Supply Dick & DeeDee Elton John & Rupaul, Indigo Girls Tatyana Ali & Will Smith White Stripes The only one I thought was reasonable was the White Stripes but as for the rest! :dontask: Title: Re: THOSE STUPID LATE NIGHT TV QUIZES Post by: wormster on November 21, 2006, 08:12:43 PM with those ones - there aren't any correct answers until they have enough calls coming in. I've seen one channel do something like "movies beginning with S" - how many of them are there?
The sad thing about these channels is that there are plenty of people out there stupid or desperate enough to ring the premium rate numbers! |
