The Rules

There are 13 questions, so unlucky for you.

PM me your answers by Wednesday 15th April 21.00 BST.  The subject line should be RSQ EPISODE 10 - ANSWERS, and please give each answer on a SEPARATE line with corresponding question number. 



Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer. So you want to go for answers that you think will be less commonly given. Levelling commonly happens. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.  If you score the only ACE in any round, you will receive MINUS 1 points for that round.  So a solitary ace for a round scores better than a pass.

You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers.  Those who do will be spotted by the other contestants and no doubt pointed out.  Punishment will be dealt to those deemed cheating.  I will be the judge, but a jury of your peers might be drafted in to decide guilt or innocence.

If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive 10 points (or one more point than the highest scoring correct answer if this scores 10 or more).

You MUST pass on one, and only one, question and score a 0 for that question.

Any questions, post in this thread. If it's a stupid question, expect a stupid answer.

Spelling mistakes will be treated according to their severity and may invoke a penalty.

Objections are allowed, but a source must be provided with the INITIAL objection, otherwise subsequent evidence will most probably be deemed inadmissible and your case will be thrown out.

Your house is at risk if you do not keep up payments on any loans secured against it.

If a previous winner is victorious they will nominate the next QM - and this will be a virgin QM.

Please read the rules, and re-read them.  Ignorance of the rules will not be an acceptable excuse for farcical objections or questions, and the judge (and jury if necessary) will be called upon to determine guilt and the punishment.

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii a proper quiz!

Good work bosh

Kin, the quiz if fine (pretty good IMO), so stop mucking about with the font style and size!

Mr Pot, meet Mrs Kettle.

;)

....and the answers are coming in.

;goodluck; all

;goodluck; me

+1

FYP

LOL ok, fair enough

For Question 3, do you want real names or will screen names suffice?

Screen names are fine. 

As well as inside leg measurement.

answers sent. sigh.

[  ] Correct subject line for the PM as well
[X] Sigh

[   ] I read the initial statement
[ x ] My subject line was more relevant

Sent.

[  ] I probably won't penalise anyone who doesn't adhere to the rules.

sent

Sent. Let the farce commence.

Sent ... at last a proper RSQ.

I fail to see how this could possibly descend into farce ... but I understand there is a massive probability that I will be proved wrong.

There are always your answers...

at last it's back on track  ;hattip; ;hattip; ;hattip;

Oh noooooooo

[ ] I was so desperate to win !

i want to win, and i know multiple answers to each question

[  ] I think everyone wants you to win.

[X] good luck

Nearly didn't send my answers again, I really must stop getting distracted.

Anyway, sent now, laugh away.

danny quick clarifaction

are you after catherdral or ecomonic cities

there are some that are in one but not the other

Did google tell you that ?

What constitutes a city is fairly tightly defined in the  UK,

[  ] I can't see how this question can possibly cause any problems

i live near 3 cities

1 is a cathedral city
1 is an economic city
and 1 is both


i aint as thick as you

i just cant type or spell

I'm looking for my definition of city.

There are 11 correct answers.

another 90 seconds of my life wasted - answers sent

A city has a charter.

Any town can call itself a city - and many towns which have a cathedral do call themselves cities.

But they're not actually cities unless they've been granted city status

FML so we just pick a city and hope it meets your defination



FARCE


bring back newmanseye

jon if you can sort out the mess of scottish cities with that one statement then good on you as the scottish parliment still cant i cant go into more details without giving away potiential answers

I picked the City near you that became a city in 2001

It's legally defined by UK law

I don't see the relevance of the Scottish Parliament

I very much doubt the presence of cathedrals will have much bearing on kinboshi's judgement as to what constitutes a city.

so your talking about an econmic city then

you try telling that to the church

oh and remember that the church still thinks it runs scotland and in some parts they are right

lol - no.

Some cities are for historical reasons, some are for economic - neither history or economics is what defines a city.

Hehe, you're not wrong.

Oh, and Carpet City isn't a correct answer.

Cathedral City is a brand of cheese.

24 hours before answer deadline and already the arguements have begun

Waiting to watch more discussion before I lodge answers, so many clues ;)

[ ] it makes a difference in your final position

i'll give you a clue

the first half of my name is a metalic element and is therefor e a fail

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.....

Sent mine.  Let the games begin!

Have read the questions now.

You call this a quiz????

P'AH !!!!!

Can't wait to read your answers.

Answers in.

excellent questions, just about right

well done, top QMing.

It will still be farcical, but those questions gave me a warm glow like a readybrek kid in Sellafield.

Entered. Farce away.

Farced entry.

Kin,

Re: Q5) This refers more to fictional characters but if someone is commonly reffered to as Mr/Mrs (insert surname) but they do infact have a 'real' name then what's your ruling likely to be. For example let's take Mr Miyagi. That's what everyone calls him and what everyone knows him as yet his 'first' name is Kesuke. Granted i haven't watched Karate Kid since christmas but i don't think MR M is ever referred to as Kesuke in the film, although i could be wrong.

P.S How many people have answered Mighty Mouse for this so far  :)

Mr Miyagi, Mrs Malaprop or My Mum would all be catastrophic fails.


I cannot answer that as it would disadvantage some and help others.

The reveal will be on Thursday night.

Still to decide on a time, preferably one that inconveniences MrHilton2u is the ideal.

Another query for question 5.

I haven't got an answer in mind but to clarify: how would you define 'famous' ?

For example, if I put some figure from history that you haven't heard of will it be marked as a fail for not being famous enough?

Famous would require that at least I, or 5 of your peers have heard of the person in question. 

That should cover famous.  There are plenty of M.M. people without having to go for someone so obscure that you risk a fail.  But if you do go LAG, then you could get that ace...

Too much clarity being provided by the QM IMO, sheepers need to figure it out for themselves and risk all in an attempt to find the ellusive aces.

GFY, you sheep thief !

(http://www.orangeland.co.uk/sheep.gif)

Wow Kin, havent you got a little one ?!

 ;envious;

Just been comparing answers with Rooks ... there could well be some epic fails on reveal night LOLOLOLOL

There are some good fails.  Quite a few aces so far, and of course lots of sheep from 5th-level thinking.

1am-5am for the reveal plz.

May I enter this?

YES!!! 

Reveal night will be absolute comedy!

Of course you can.  You have until tomorrow evening to send in your answers, and the 'reveal' will be on Thursday evening.

Please read the OP, as many others haven't....

FYL if you win though.......

I answered mine before I understood the rules FWIW.

Understanding the rules has never helped anyone as far as I know.

After skipping a couple due to either epic farceness or being on holiday, I'm in. And I fully expect to expect many aces only to actually achieve many sheep due to still thinking at the same level as too many people here.

It hasn't bothered any of the QMs...

I thought the Reveal was at Midnight?

What are we supposed to do, guess the answers?

Farce.

It's not until Thursday night.  Have you turned your answers in yet?

No, of course not - I thought we got the Reveal first?

This RSM thing is a jopke.

Have you been hanging out with Ironside lately?

[ ] tikay's gonna take it dowwwwwnnn

Could you imagine if he actually won?!  We'd be in for one heck of a train ride wreck trying to get through his quiz!

we'd be waiting months for it!

Fair point   rotflmfao

Tikay, the questions are in the OP.

You need to PM me youe answers, by 9pm tonight.

I will then calculate the scores, and the reveal of the answers will be tomorrow evening.

[  ] well done for reading the OP

...and it's not a jopke; it's a FARCE.

What is RSM anyway?

Reverse Sheep Misery

for the QM anyway

Have I won yet?

You want to win?

I have seen his answers, "WANT" doesnt come into it LLOLOLOLOL

rotflmfao

(although I'm sure there's a saying about people in glass houses, stones and throwing...)

I enter these so I have "bash the quizmaster" rights ... I have absolutely no desire to win one at all.. FACT!

I can't argue with that.

:D

Please refrain from the use of FACT!! unless you have a complaint against system lag, You are an M3boy, you want to wind up the mods, or you have a "special deal " with a rival poker skin.

thanks for your understanding

FACT TM M3Boy 2008

I have a complaint against RSQ reveal lag ..... I think FACT! is justified, as is FARCE!

FACT

37 entrants so far LOL

FYP

FYL indeed, marking for the reveal was a pain in the  ;bumwiggle;

Someone give Tikay a kick.  His name isn't on the list yet.

There is a LIST?

This is just ridic.

4 people entered your quiz

Sigh.  YES!  http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=41344.0

First you have 'The Rules' - Take no notice of this section.  Quiz Master's abuse of power and 'The Rules' = FARCE

Then you move on to 'The Questions' - They're not too bad this week.  Seriously.

Followed by 'The Entrants' - You must send a pm to Kinfishy with your answers to 'The Questions' to be part of 'The Entrants' 

Get a move on!  Deadline is 9pm TONIGHT.

No poker or world of warcraft questions! FARCE.

[ ] I know lots about both of these subjects

Seconded!

Infact not one Japanese linked question, No Toshiro Mifune or Myamoto Mushashi, sod all about katana or iaido. 

Utter utter Fail

If I'd included a Japan-related question, it wouldn't be about swords or Samurai.  It would have probably been about food.

Epic Fail!

失敗

失敗することにはビリーさんは天才ですね。

;)

私とスマートを取得しないでください！

English only!!

please check your spelling, the phrase has a completely different meaning to the one you intended I think.

p.s please use protection

:dontask:

rofl should have been this

私とスマート取得しない

FML, Weds FTW surely??

TONIGHT AT 9.01pm it should be !!

This

Decision made.

We'll be waiting.

FARCE !!

;popcorn;

WORST QM EVER!

lol

Let's just treat that as an admission.

Yes, you were.


OK - the deadline for entries has passed.  The reveal will commence at 19:45 tomorrow.  Approximately.  Proberly...

Sigh, I'll just wait here then.

That would be to go with your other question on cooking and the one on dancing in the jungle on ice question, big girl.

Hope you are abused lots tomorrow, in fact i know you will be, cause i will be doing most if it.

10.20 is rhe new 9 o'clock isn't it?

42 entrants, LoL

You are so screwed, glad you stole my sheep you thief !

They used to hang people for less than that (or was it cattle, or maybe hippos)

was so eager to fire it across i forgot to pass on 1

bleeding decorating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FAIL

Whats the penalty for that?               Death?

Late entry, wrong PM subject, no pass,

I think that deserves some penalty...

Jumbotron penalties IMO

trying to get paint out of my fingernails is penalty enough

Do we want to know why you've been painting your fingernails?

                          we are ready and waiting ,can't keep awake much longer

Do all RSQ's get stickied or is boshi special?

farce!

I abused my mod powers.

Happy birthfarceday Kin!! x

ps don't think for a minute that means we won't give you the abuse you will no doubt deserve tonight.

tyvm kin


i just got a PM from kin letting me know i had won and that i should start preparing next weeks quiz


god have mercy on you all

[ ] that's true
[ ] that will happen
[ ] it wouldn't be funny though

I assumed it was another mod trying to fyl up  :D

If it's self inflicted fair enough

Yes, it was a stupid idea.  43 bloody entries! 

I got more.

People know a good quiz when they see one

You made everyone think twice about playing another RSQ.  Billy stopped them from continuing with those thoughts.  This is all about redemption and rehabilitation.  It's also about hefty spreadsheets...bloody hell.

Are you seriously spending your birthday night in revealing the answers all night long?!

It's not the size of your spreadsheet that counts, it's what you do with it.

Tightend had an enormous spreadsheet - still didn't stop him being massively disappointing.

That's what concerns me.

Can't go out drinking, I'm running in the morning and it's only a little over a week from the marathon.

I'll be celebrating my birthday after the 26th.

You are in for sooooo much grief birthday boy!

I must be a proper sad bugger, i really cant wait, infact i am really quite excited about typing FARCE in strange colours and moving letters on this reveal thread tonight.

[ ] I am alone in this feeling

[ ] Kinboshi will be a great QM

[X] the first farce will seal the deal.

The first question might set the tone... well the answers to it will.

I bet some mugs put spices instead of herbs LOL

[ ] I never nearly made that mistake !

;carlocitrone;

FML

I put Ginger.

(http://media.nowpublic.net/images//5c/4/5c495b9e8b5053eb5b94a6bdb93372a5.jpg)

Ginger herb, Sportie herb, Posh Herb. Nah, not catchy enough.

that's why I was very specific with my answer!

If you hadn't been specific I would have allowed it.  However, if you'd taken it in a different direction and been specific, then it would have been a FAIL.

All will be revealed at 7:45...

When you said herb, you meant just something from the range though eh?  Could have been any product

I meant a herb from the Shwartz range of herbs, not their range of spices.

Spices red cap; herbs green cap.

fml i have no idea if sage is a herb or a spice

sage is a herb.

herbs use the leafage of the plant. a spice uses seeds, roots etc

A man who knows his arse from his elbow - well his herbs from his spices :D

Herbs taste herby, spices taste spicy - much easier way of working it out

sorry last time i was in a kitchen maggie thatcher was still in power

fml why are we still waiting

No idea - it's all going to 'kick-off' at 7:45.  I'm sure it will kick-off as well.  In fact, I think I'll be fine until the reveal of the first round...

Feel free to mark my answers as FAIL.

am i in the running of winning?

Well you haven't got an ace if you put sage...

Oi!  No leaks - who do you think you are, Bob Quick?

Damien Green would have been more topical  :P

whislt on the subject of herbs. has anyone watched " weeds " at all ? i am looking to start watching it at as my next download.

I like it. Funny, but very biting, and very dark in places.

Are we ready to start?

Yes i am going out in a bit, can you finish by 8:30 pls.

[  ] That will definitely happen.  No problem.

You said 7.45 start FFS... I am not ready yet !!

Here's a recap of the questions before we start:


1.  Name a herb that Schwartz sells as part of its range in the UK (please give a single herb, not a herb mix)

2.  Name a current English Premier League Manager

3.  Give the name of a current mod/admin/staff member of the blonde poker forum

4.  Name one of the 'Steam Team' trains from the Thomas and Friends/Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends stories

5.  Give the name of a famous person, real or fictional, whose first and last name begins with M, for example Mighty Mouse

6.  Name a city in Wales or Scotland

7.  Name a planet in the solar system (please be careful)

8.  Give the distance of any individual athletic track event in the Beijing Olympics

9.  Give a name of a dance performed by the contestants in Strictly Come Dancing

Whats on the menu, were any Schwatz herbs involved in the cooking?

Oregano hopefully ;)

Kev, while you're waiting, pull the lever for me in the $30 6k on blonde please. completely card dead :(.

Deffo needs a bit of basil with it imo.

Right, come one Boshi, bring it on and

Question 2...

it's as if no one is on the forum

...and I'm not complaining!

Minus 5 points, decent start. Come to think of it why is everyone on minus points?

Curry Leaves are Herbs?

OBJECTION

Rosemary is clearly a middle age woman.

If it was a minus the - would be directly next to the number.

::)

objection

marjoram and oregano are sold as a mix, not individually in the current schwarz range

Just in case any fker is thinking of failing Marjoram, I checked earlier

http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/search/Marjoram

shit, gatso is logged on,. I bet there's a Prypiat herb, not made in Chernobyl

It might be, but it's irrelevant to this question.. :dontask:

sigh @ schwarz website fail

ffs get a move on kin

This is true. She lives in the flat opposite mine. I changed the battery in her smoke alarm a few weeks ago.

Kinboshi has learnt at the master's knee

Carry on son, carry on

The defence rests yer honour on any future google accusations

[ ] Herbs grown in Chernobyl Prypiat would sell well.

Thanks for clearing that up Kin, what would have happened if 3 people went for him.

Shit - who did I miss?

Font fails

(http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/fail.gif)

The question wasn't - English, Premier League Manager

It was English Premier League Manager.

Kev, hush now, we've already had this argument!

QM losing control and only on question 2

Thats poor Kin!

Pointless objecting it seems :(

I'm not on the list, but my points have changed.

Is it at this point I say FARCE ?

if some of them aren't fails then i object to the QM's ability to write english. you asked for english managers.

FARCE

fkl

he didnt even get his name up ut still got 7 pts

sigh, you're just like all the others kin. just ignore the objections and give the scores instead, why not?

#

Yes but it has to be in large upside down letters

Pointless objecting ftw

what you should have written is a manager in the english premier league.

Let me help you out

 Well done to Kinboshi for successfully managing to do question 1 without any screw ups  ;applause;

It was English Premier League, not managers who are English in the Premier League, because then it could be any Premier League - couldn't it?

Objection overruled.

Kev and Leigh, you're on the list - so be quiet.

Any problems with the scores?

Having fun yet Kin?   rotflmfao

Are we ready for Q3 or are there actually any problems?

6 people putting Southgate - 7 points???????????????????

At least I turned my shower off.

Read it again.

It's no good explaining the question afterwards. I think I might want to enter again, once you have explained your inaccurate English.

No?  Good.  On we go...

Hurry up!  We haven't got all year, just all night.

sigh power of the edit button

farce imo

Bring back Newmanseye. His questions were obscure and crap but at least you knew where you were with them.

Go Go Go.  Move on.  Nothing to see here.

English Premier League = EPL
Scottish Premier League = SPL

No confusion, except for those who are hard of understanding.

Shush peppercorn...

rofl No Fking way !

What other Premier League could we be talking about
Foreign Managers = FAIL

you can't just overrule the english language

+1

I have nothing else to say

The Invisible Man

Richard the third was walking and talking ten minutes after his head was chopped off.

and that would be an acceptable defence had you capitalised just English Premier League. unfortuanately you displayed a lack of knowledge of your mother tongue by capitalising Manager as well

Can you please confirm that everyone spelt Sheriff correctly in their answers?

fml i aint even an ace

Kev suddenly not happy that the majority have Ginger on their minds....

Want to be pedantic. At no point did you say it was football. I thought about putting a manager in the rugby premier league. FARCE

If I've missed you off a question - tell me what your answer was - it'll speed things up.  You're on the spreadsheet, it's just a cut and paste FAIL.

Exactly, not one thought it was rugby and no one bothered to clarify.

SPICY

Picking yourself ftw.

UTTER SHAMBLES OF A FARCE

BRING BACK JONMW

logic fail. that in no way supports your pov

Sorry, objection overruled considering you started the sentence with a lower case letter, the word 'and', and then didn't use a full stop at the end.  Obviously the standard of my English is irrelevant when the entrants are illiterate as well.

Who said that ??  was it the invisible mod ??

sigh @ yet another logic fail. next time I see you I will explain the fundamentals of locical argument construction to you

Oh - I thought I'd missed you off the list.  You weren't complaining about that, just that everyone else had left you off the list..

Can you please confirm that Ironside spelt Ironside correctly

I'll bring along the punctuation.

+1

ffs its about time i ran one of these farces

Disappointing lack of farceness in the questions so far more than made up for by QM failure and inneptitude

No objections there then (other than Robert's), so we'll go to scores on the doors (in the dodgy font)...

I love the score font.

Bring along a dictionary as you're at it.

whoever hosts the next quiz should just save time by not having a reveal thread as they are a complete waste of time. just give out the final scores straight away and if anyone objects tell them to piss off.

bring back someone who was good imo

and just read your last post kin. there is a difference between a typo and a total life fail DUCY?

fyp

My last post?

If you're going to use that font for the formatting rather than just put it in a table, is it really so difficult to add an extra space after the single digit scores?

Anyway, Q4...

That's a misnomer

Won't be needed soon...

TOTALLY valid objection

I have a rusty in my kids toybox

FML the only ace :(

http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Steam_Team

Rusty is one of Thomas' friends, but he ain't in the steam team you mug

I just went for the only one i'd ever heard of - seemed to work :D

Diesel

17th QM fail so far tonight.

Diesel fail.

GTFO, i grew up with Thomas the Tank Engine, it is what made Ringo Starr famous.

Waaaaaay too much suspicious Tank engine knowledge around here IMO

Steam team??? WTF ????

So with that objection in meltdown (Chernobyl-stylee), on to Q5...

lolz. so the steam team is 8 specific characters. soooo much googling went on here then

No, you grew up Tommy tanking, there is a difference

i asked my nephew last night the names of his trains

i shot

i scored too many

Lots of Aces in this one...

5.  Give the name of a famous person, real or fictional, whose first and last name begins with M, for example Mighty Mouse

OBJECTION

Sustained.

Ironside - go and sit in the corner.

Seconded!  M M...no mention of being allowed to throw the odd T in there!

MING THE MERCILESS – 1
EvilPie



OBJECTION!! MM not MTM


MIGUEL MOSTTO -1

OBJECTION

Obscure Barnsley footballer not well known enough to qualify

wrong i was babysitting as i knew i would be

so got the trains out to play

i just answered the question after he went to bed

just remember the names of his toys

i cant help it if his trains were tank engines

tank ffs

On what grounds?  That her first and last name don't begin with 'M'?

OBJECTION

"The Merciless" isnt a last name, its a description

Tommy tanking made Ringo Starr famous?

MARY MILLINGTON – 1
Ironside

 ;tightend;

mad ma's surname was Rockatansky


true story fail

and pretty sure max's first name wasn't mad

OBJECTION

MAD is also a description

I've not heard of half of these!!

also objection to Ming The Merciless - his initials are MTM

Yes if abusing google is outlawed then Iron should be punished for abusing his nephew FACT

The question asked for first and last name beginning with M.

Maurice Malpas might have had a middle name, like Ming does - but it doesn't matter.

Objections overruled on the grounds of irrelevance to it making a difference to the finishing positions.

what no metal mickey?

That was inspired.

Its a double barrelled last name ... so technically its MT   FAIL !!

Kin is living down to the low expectations of QM performance

Standard QM FAIL

Actually, he plays for Total Clean Football and is a full Peruvian international.

Hey, where Tikay I thought he wanted to play,

maybe he was here last night

Never thought I'd say this but KEV'S RIGHT!!!!!!!!!

I object to this Farce of a farce attempt

what about mad Max Rockatansky

surely a fail

I rest my case

I did actually check on a number of sources for this one.  She's often referred to in articles as Moore - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Tyler_Moore

Objection overruled.

understated. Having been a successful QM some solidarity is due.

care to rephrase that before social services are called in

WTF?
Thats like saying to all the premiership teams outside the top 4, "you may aswell not play any games this season lads as its completely pointless for you "

Kinboshi

Had you heard of him?
Have 5 other forumites heard of him?

If the answer is no, then your clarification should fail these.

Or you could just lie and pretend you have heard of him.

Good - so no objections on that one then?

Mostto is a clear fail on the grounds of not well known enough

How can you tell that yet?!?!

Farce of the highest lowest level
