blonde poker forum

Bit of a rush job this one so we can get back on track with Thursday reveals. Hopefully the short notice will keep numbers down.

There are 13 questions, PM me your answers to them by Thursday May 21st 12 noon, each answer on a different line with corresponding question number.

Reveal will be Thursday May 21st starting at 19.30.

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.

You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers.

If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score + one half the number of distinct correct answers given, rounded up.

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

Any questions about the questions, post in this thread.

Any rules I’ve forgotten, assume they’re much the same as in previous games

Having been outed as a dirty rotten cheating scoundrel Mr Tightend will not be allowed to win although he may enter as usual

1.Name a NASA space shuttle

2.Name a method of execution which is legal in at least one US state

3.Name a country which was once part of the soviet union

4.Name one of the first seven people to post on this thread after I post to tell you that entries are closed

5.Name a category in which a nobel prize may be awarded

6.Name one of the ten most common gases in the earth’s atmosphere

7.Name one of the dwarves from the original 1937 film version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

8.Name one of the world’s ten largest countries

9.Name a Scottish Premier League club from the 2008/09 season

10.Name an instrument found in an orchestra’s string section

11.Name a soap opera dog and the programme it appears/appeared in

12.Name someone who has been in either The Beatles or The Rolling Stones

13.This rsq has thirteen questions. Choose one of them

*********************
you will by now no doubt be aware that Mr Tightend has been found guilty of all charges of cheating by google and sentenced to a one match suspension. however, as the court did not pass judgement until 19 entries had already been received it was agreed that the criminal's answers would still be marked even though his score is meaningless

the prescence of his answers will still be important however as-

a) any aces which would have been scored by the disgraced will still count as distinct correct answers for the purposes of determining fail scores and
b) any non-ace correct answer given will still serve to add a point to the scores of all those giving the same response

First.

Farce.

But sent, none the less.

Am I banned from this one on spurious and frankly totally unconvincing suggestions impugning my character?

you're not banned rich, you're just not allowed to win

tbh the evidence was pretty convincing and your defence was, well, non existant. you should be glad I won, there are others who would see you hanged from the nearest tree

normally with RSQ questions i thought the idea was that everyone knew the more obvious answers but tried to go with a less obvious one so as to try and avoid the sheep score

now we need to all get out our crystal balls and look into the future with Q4!!

though £1 says Sharplea still googles the answer..................... ;whistle;


;)

Sent. This is my first one. i take it i just say farce alot?

Yes.  A very lot.   rotflmfao

At least it can't be googled!

Clarification please!

Number 8 - largest in terms of area or population?

:)up

Ive entered this time....lets see how lacking in general knowledge I am

In protest I hereby boycott this RSQ. If I can't have a chance of winning, why bother?


Having been outed as a dirty rotten cheating scoundrel Mr Tightend will not be allowed to win although he may enter as usual

PFFT...i am consulting my lawyers

If it's Robert HM then I don't think Gatso's got anything to worry about

farcical right alignment, dunno where that came from


Mr End

I have just left a meeting with my lawyers and they inform me that despite you being apparently fairly convicted by a screaming, torch wielding mob of your peers you still have the right of appeal.

you may therefore enter this quiz with full rights, however please bear in mind that the one match penalty may still be applied at the next meeting of the FIRSQ.

the latest entry of a certain Mr Sharples has just been analysed by the fraud committee and has been declared as non-googled

thank you, entered under appeal then

Ignoring your cheek, I have to inform you that I have been retained by the prosecuting authorities and TightEnd will  be summonsed to the court of public opinion in due course.

I wish it was comedy formatting but I have no idea what I did, assume there's some keyboard shortcut I hit by accident that puts in alignment tags

sorry to ruin your desperate attempt to get japan in as an answer but for 'largest' please read 'biggest' or 'largest by area'

Thank you quizmaster sir.  I wasn't going for Japan, as last time I did more people went for it as the answer than were actually taking part in the game. 

[  ] I will be going for Indonesia now though...

Out of curiosity (and not giving away which question this is intended for) does the questionmaster reckognize Jungleville as a country or are you one of these people who still lists us as a republic?

disputed territories cause all sorts of problems for us QMs. I've done a bit of research and it seems that Belgium's claim to the area is valid so for the purposes of this quiz it will be included with the Belgian landmass

Seriously? We claimed independence from those ditherers years ago - only the french did a worse job in attempting to gain control of our territories (though looking at their record over the years its hardly surprising)

good job i went for a safer option then!

yeah, turns out no-one bothered doing the paperwork though. I mean, seriously, how difficult can it be? the forms are available at any post office, you even get an envelope with them

I know because i was left in charge of getting said form from the Post Office when i went in to get my driving license updated to one of those fancy photo licenses.

Sigh, note to self - when sending off forms to claim freedom from invading foreigners ensure that correct form is put in envelope. Looks like the monkey DVLA have received an application of Independence :(

great quiz wp

I believe you can do it online as well.  Can't remember the name of the site, but you can just ask Tighty to google for it...

are you going to enter?

Yer, just did. Gatso for RSQ mod.

Answers in, fk knows what part of the country i'll be in on thursday, but somehow i will find wifi!!!

Bugger, just realised I will be out this Thursday

update to rules now added to op to reflect the results of tighty's trial

Sent.

Duly answered

lol @ cross posting spammage for farce trial farce farce

Free Tightend!

Tank, your sig ... it kind of scares me.

yeah tank this is a poker forum, not some kind of hook-up agency.  oh, hang on....

Hang on in there, I'm likely to get bored of it very soon and it'll go the way of the dodo.

Free the TightEnd One (and a half)!

Just popped out for a bite to eat and saw this mob!

12 1/2 hours to go for entries and still missing quite a few regs, come on peeps. 21 entries is far too easy logistically, you're supposed to make it a pain in the arse for me, I don't even need a spreadsheet with that many

scotty, who's going to come 2nd if you don't get your answers in?

Sent


I liked this one  ;D :)up

that's all folks, entry is closed

 ;goodluck;

posty posty

Taking this far to seriously

and don't even think about trying to delete posts Kin - I've screenshotted!

OK

(and screenshots can't be photoshopped?)

ok wp

Kinboshi sheep imo :D :D FYL!!!!

And no boldie. EPIC FAIL!

Missed it! Go on, post it, you know you want to.

I think so. 

:D

Nice attempt by Robert to unsheep himself, level!!

Just been reading this story on the bbc news site, fascinating stuff.

Dont forget the league game at 8.30pm

Sheesh, cutting it fine!  I (along with others I expect) expected you ages ago :D

please don't spam my thread if you can't be arsed to play. thanks

Was going to not post out of spite, but that would have been shooting myself in the foot!!  I reckon me and Claw will be the popular choices.

lol not by me they can't.  I don't even have word remember!?!?

I have noted the correct answers for q 4 so delete/photoshop to your heart's content

what for?  first up at karaoke at bB8?

Nope.  Well, we might be - but it'd be a Hilton-esque Pizza epic FAIL.

fml i thought entries close tonight

Gatso will let you off if you send it now I'm sure, he loves it

iron, marking begins in 15 minutes. you can put in a late entry until 15.10, or 14.10 with the weird clock thing that's going on on the forum but must use your pass on q4

I thought I was special, but apparently anyone can get in late.  Sigh.

Ironside's special too

very true, he's special in a different way from you dawn

ok, ironstein is officially out as marking has started and I have no answers

laxie and Iron are both very special imo :)

And equally good singers too   rotflmfao

lmao - if you practice really hard, one day you might be as good as me and Kin :)up

Allow me an entry in the next 10 mins ??

Call it special circumstances for the special needs ??

passing on this one, yet to get over the vegi pizza not being on the dominos list lol.

sorry scotty and kev. I've marked 6 questions already and it's taken bloody ages. I'm not adding people in now, this thing is a logistical bloody nightmare

you failing to get an entry in despite being fully aware of the quiz and even posting on the thread earlier does not make this a farce

I'm sure that other things will turn it into one but I'm afraid that your failure does not

Just getting my shot in first, that way everyone can just copy paste when the inevitable happens.

it's all going way too smoothly atm, it's a bit unnerving

that's coz the reveal hasn't started yet, ldo.

I'm getting this in before the reveal ...

..... I'm fully prepared and waiting for the onslaught of jibes ....



HOLD has officially done the epic FAILS of all FAILS this week



 ;marks;

Not in tonight but it is obvious how this will go:


gatso, you are the worst QM ever, other than AndrewT and JonMW of course.

Reveal in 28 minutes!!!  Debating a shower or a nap before it starts and hoping to manage both.

hello, good evening and welcome to the 16th edition of the farce that is reverse sheep quizzing on blonde

was going to say nicely off the pace to start - but then you came back from far worse for victory!! :D

 rotflmfao

What is the Space shuttle challenger? You mean that collection of little bits of metal and water? That ain't a space shuttle.

I'm completely lost!

Neither's Voyager.

It was a NASA space shuttle.  Unlike voyager. :D

I don't have that knowledge

 welcome to my world  ;yippee;

you're about 20 minutes late with a dodgy objection, please keep up

they look fine to me Mr QM.

HA HA HA AH HAHAHAHAH  google and get an answer that you dont think anyone else will know .... all 3 should be shot for obvious googling imo.

Tighty we expect to google, but the other 2 are a disgrace !!

it's not because of the last question is it?  Did she think that meant she only had to answer one?

Did she mistype google?

:dontask:



(not that Michelle would cheat, ldo)

Objection: Chechnya:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya

http://amina.com/article/country.html

best bet is was really really bored in work this afternoon so thought "on the 3 million to 1 off chance that i would win one of these things what would my questions be"

i have 15 questions and **** all chance of ever asking them :D

This would make so much sense...

I did provide one answer ..... and confused the hell out of Gatso

lol Mich - you're officially our new Dingdell ;D

Only 1 answer?!   rotflmfao  GG WP

lol, I'm too bloody stupid to cheat


Claire is dangerously close to the precipe of entering Mich's plane ..... run while you can chicka

Can anybody else see her sat there, answering every question painstakingly, then deleting all the answers cos she's misread the last question?

look on the bright side - at least you're not a sheep!

So far this isn't a farce, it's just surreal.

nope, sorry. chechnya has de facto independence only (something which your links unfortunately support). it is not legally recognised as an independent country

That sooo nearly happened

Turkmenistan. How can anybody think that is a google? ridiculous. I am being victimised

would have been my answer...................

if i could speel

shame on those of you who picked yourselves and were then waiting to pounce on the thread at 12.00.

especially claw. I only found this about an hour ago as I left my phone in the bedroom all day but at 12.02 I received this text message from claire

I think you're a bit of a scapegoat.  There are other offenders who haven't been brought to trial.  Maybe they will soon...?

welcome to the world of reverse sheep!!! :D

i actually googled "reverse sheep" while in work thinking of my questions and you get a whole page of blonde posts plus other forums claiming "i saw this on another forum and it looks fun"

Dino1980 has a lot to answer for!!

FREE GOAT INFORMATION

Thanks to "Know your goat " website

Cannot possibly win this week due to the penalty and so doesn't take it seriously - result, trying to answer the questions without using additional aid and already 2 fails out of 5 questions :)

He did say in RSQ1 that he'd nicked it from 2p2.

I can't believe you're only now thinking of your questions - I've had mine ready since week one.  Only trouble is nearly all of them have been used by someone else now!

LOL

He sent his answers in before the "trial".

very informative and relevant - thanks crow.

and i thought i was a few sandwiches short of a picnic!! :D

blonde has taken it to a whole new level!!

just for mr tighty's info, there is the sveriges riksband prize in economic sciences in memory of alfred nobel, however this is not a nobel prize. shame you didn't google to check

After putting the first answer that I did, lack of googling should be fairly obvious. Turkmenistan aint that obscure FFS gummy, hence why 3 of us named it!!!

I reckon we should try to format the blonde RSQ into some kind of board game and take it to the  dragon's den.

did someone say something?

Objection to the objection.

http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/

Find Economics in that one ;)

More free information

heres a good read

Objection

it is also known as the nobel prize for economics

I spent years studying the fuckers who won them!!

rich, I believe I already dismissed your objection before you made it. well backed up everyone else. there is 100% not a nobel prize for economics

nobel prizes are as set out in nobel's will and as paid for by his estate

so happy when I saw your answer

i got a question wrong about charing cross bridge because its "also known as" but not the real name

bummer eh? :D

Just a well remembered chemistry lesson - I blame Doc Hudson!

why would anyone need to google that one?

ABJECTION

there is no Hydrogen OR Helium in the atmosphere. It all flies up straight into space

Its too light to be retained by the Earths gravity

Wikipedia says

The Earth's atmosphere (or air) is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by the Earth's gravity. It has a mass of about five quadrillion metric tons. Dry air contains roughly (by volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor,

presumably it passes through the atmosphere though - doesn't say it has to be static.

Xenon fail wtf?

is that an objection?

Crow - read the whole page rather than just the first paragraph

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_atmosphere#Composition

Yer.
Is it reaaallly small amounts?

Objection again

The Q was  ten most common gases in the earth’s atmosphere NOT gases passing through it

so small that it's not in the top 10 perhaps?

There is never any food IN your stomach, it is always passing through it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_atmosphere#Composition

Top ten is there.

And Xenon was 11th.

Hey I spotted this

ppmv: parts per million by volume
Gas    Volume
Nitrogen (N2)    780,840 ppmv (78.084%)
Oxygen (O2)    209,460 ppmv (20.946%)

I should have way more points than 30, I've sheeped a few and failed one.

Same here. I keep sheeping and failing the low scoring ones though!

Can't be arsed going back and counting, but there's no way I'm 6 points off the lead after doing so pisch.

Suffice is to say... farce

sharplea and joobie in same answer shocker............ ;whistle;

OBJECTION!!!  Harp is not in a traditional orchestra!!!

Wiiii, out of the running.

Phew. I can get on with dancing in my pants now.

Seconded.

If you were going to accept harp I might as well have put guitar

A harp is not found in a Blues Quartet either but that wasn't the question was it.

You didn't ask for a string instrument in general, you asked for one from the string section of an orchestra of which there are only 4!!!!!!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_section

ok - it won't be in the string section then

it'll be by itself

if you're gonna get all wiki on me then I counter with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestra

who asked about a traditional orchestra?

edited from zebra/moon thing to make my point clearer

so now that we've established that harps are found in early romantic, late romantic and modern orchestra string sections do we have any more objections?

FFS.  Ya coulda worked with me there.  lol

Harvard Dictionary of Music on harps

yes, i could really do with a snack right now but the fridge is in another room :(

harp deffo a fail.

"The string section is the largest body of the standard orchestra and consists of bowed string instruments of the violin family."

A harp is not a bowed string instrument of the violin family. I agree with Jon MW.

HARP IS A FAIL OR THIS QUIZ IS A FARCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comic Snack  Interlude picture

Which one is the Real Susan Boyle

next person to use a standard orchestra in an argument gets taken to court by roberthm

As you never stated a specific orchestra type, standard is the only one which should be considered.

an

[ x ] article used in question before orchestra

[   ] definite article

[ x ] indefinite article

So if a harp appears in the string section of any orchestra (I believe gatso has cited some examples) then the answer is not a fail.

IF this wasn't the case we could just create our own orchestras and put the trombone in the string section for example

I've seen a guitar in an orchestra. Once. Does that mean it should count?

The question asked for the string section to be considered. Wikipedia's specific article on the string section, linked to by Laxie, says only 4 instruments. Harp was not one of these, ergo Harp is a fail.

Harp was a wank lager, and for that reason it should be a fail.

stop harpin on about it

http://www.hagbourneschool.co.uk/rhodes_into_music/the_string_section.htm

The Harp

There is normally only one or two harps in an orchestra. The sound of a harp is produced like the pizzicato on a violin.

sigh.  as long as we all remember that Gatso is to blame for the death of RSQ :(

This second clause in your sentence is not a logical argument that follows from the first clause.


Another example of such a sentence.

As you never wore blue pants today, I should be given 6 points off my score.

In fact, I was giving the QM big credit for coming up with one that was so definitely going to throw scores out of the water when only 4 correct answers were available.  Don't tell me I over rated my respect for your QM duties.

Please tell me you're going to the next blonde bash.

Totally

The harp is a stringed instrument in the same way the guitar, piano and harpsichord are

If somebody had put guitar, piano or harpsichord - would they have been a pass or a fail?

no logically consistent argument has been put forward for harp being a fail so it stands as a pass. scores after q10

You asked for the string section of an orchestra.

You were linked to the wikipedia page specifically for the string section of a fucking orchestra.

You chose to ignore this.

Nice one, more farces next time please

Yep nowt like an OJECTION imo.

ok, hold up. this should be good. we have an objection to the entire quiz I believe. let's hear it

Can't see the new thread yet Kin :dontask:

Mich is probably objecting on the basis that she was the only one that did it 'properly' ???

Clever bloke that Kinboshi.

Turns out a mosquito really is an animal, fml.

And ya won't til the morning.  He's gone to bed FFS.  A FARCE before we even begin!!!!

Choose one of them


so I chose ONE of them


and rules stated one MUST be a pass so I passed on it



I win, all you other feckers fail on a farce loophole










(did it get through, anyone buy it??       ;marks;)

we could all take it in turns phoning him

post his number then :)up

think I may have to rule against you here mich. if the question was 'this quiz has 13 questions, answer one of them' then you'd have a point. it didn't say that though as that really wouldn't have made much sense

you have it

claire prob does - i don't, what would i want it for normally? :D

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh  I'm capable of digging the hole all by myself tonight  rotflmfao

well done gatso - best rsq yet imo

for phoning him in the middle of the night ldo

use claire's phone

fyp

Nothing to be proud of - end of RSQ as we know it imo

I don't usually phone him til Matt's asleep though....

lol, no

Just in. Is it worth reading the thread?

FML! At least I didnt finish last :)

Seriously, FML

Tinterweb connection playing up last night so i was barely able to get involved in the farceness.

BEST QM YET????? WTF?????

'ollocks to that !


I think we need to take the RSQ to an entirely new level of farce for next week and have our fate put in the hands of...........

Are you a masochist by any chance?

No, I'm a sadist. 

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Man oh man...you lot are soooooooo gonna thank him.  Mwahahahahaha ;goodvevil;

I can't see the new thread Dawn!!!

Excuse me, but I beleive you yourself have to do it.

Nope. Rules state:

"Any rule I've forgotten, assume they are the same as in previous games"

Standard rule in previous games: A winner who has already been a QM must nominate a virgin QM.

No point me entering then. I'll only get pilloried for googling I didn't do and ridiculed by a drunkard. That's the new QM by the way.

If only you'd allowed me to defend you...your good name would still be unblemished.

I very much doubt it. The wounds of this episode run deep and won't be healed in a day I can tell you.

Turkmenistan. googled? WTF?!

Flippin heck...thanks for that Tighty.  

Don't worry.  I assure everyone these questions are all possible without the aid of google and therefore I will have no need of accusations.

Now relax, get back in the pram and have a nap for yerself!   rotflmfao

Like the Guildford 4 and the Birmignham 6, you've been made a scapegoat for the actions of others. 

Maybe in 20 years time and appeal will be heard and your conviction quashed, and your previously saint-like reputation will once be restored.  Proberly.

Well, one thing's for sure. I won't be on a hunger strike in the meantime.

what questions? did I miss something or are you slacking?

That one line has made up for the injustice of Crow being shunned for the next quiz ... made me proper LOL   rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao
