blonde poker forum

There are 15 questions, PM your answers to me by noon on Thursday 4th June.  Each answer is to be on a different line with corresponding question number.

Reveal will be Thursday 4th June 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 ANY research on or off the internet (that includes asking hubbies, wifey's, dilfey's, milfey's or your kids) to come up with answers - all answers must be your own from the murky depths of your brain.

If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score + 10.

You MUST pass on one, and only one, question and score a 0 for that question.  Objections must be accompanied by proof (links) or they will be ignored.

All are welcome to enter this week and welcome to abuse QM via Forum, PM or text before during and after RSQ 20. Previous winners can run the next RSQ or nominate a new QM if they wish.


Any questions, please post on this thread - I cannot gurantee a clear clarification of anything - but what did you expect - really - I mean come on!!!


1. Name one of the original Reindeer’s from ‘Twas a night before Christmas’

2. Name a London Borough (in full)

3. Name a men’s or women’s Gymanastic apparatus used in 2008 Beijing Olympics

4. Name a band with numerals in their name that has had a UK top 10 since 1970

5. Name a ‘set’ you can buy from the original Monopoly game

6. Name a blue or pink Mr Men Character

7. Name a London underground Tube line as deemed by ‘Tube’ by London Transport

8. Name a Glenn Miller song

9. Name a published Charles Dickens Novel/Works

10. Name a Greek God

11. Name a ‘Carry On’ Film

12. Name a Band/Group or Artist who has had 10 or more UK number 1s.  (NB - This question has been amended)

13. Name one of the top 10 highest mountains

14. Name a country where you drive on the left hand side of the road

15. Name a boxing weight category

Oh bugger, at first glance this looks like a proper RSQ. Let's hope you at least fudge up the reveal.

good questions Mich, but still room for some farceness, which is good :)up

a couple of clarifications:

not sure I understand question 5 - is it a colour you're after.

Question 16 - will individual countries in the UK count as separate answers for the purposes of this quiz?

Surely it doesn't HAVE to be a colour?

Question 16 already erased

Stickied!

Question 5 - It's the Mr Men's name I am looking for BUT there are a lot of Mr Men, so I have limited to choices to only a pink or blue character's name

Question 16 - huh? there was never a question 16 - but for question 14 individual countries will NOT count for the purpose of this quiz.

@Robert - that's a pretty safe assumption that a fudge up will occur during reveal lol

soooo, we have to name a country but individual countries will not count. that's gonna be tricky

Q5 is the Monopoly one.

Promising start, going downhill fast

hahahahahahahahahaah this does not bode well - sorry claire I gave a answer to the wrong question (did wonder why you wanted clarificatin on that lol)



All I can say is this ...

You got it - blame Kin, he chose me    rotflmfao



Just for the UK clarification ....  that's all.       Scot, wales, etc will be whaled into generic UK for THIS question.   Feel free to give me shed loads of abuse for this decision at BB8 (make it LOUD though or I won't hear it, and any hand gestures need to be BIG or I won't see them  ;D)

you can drive on the left in any country
maybe not safely but you can drive on the left

OK, so it could be a colour then?  wasn't sure if you wanted the names of the individual properties making up a set or what. 

Good questions - if you're from London ::)

Q11

Carry on Farcing

can we have that one in english?

Name a Tube in London on the Tube deemed by Tube to be a Tube by The Tube.

Is that clearer?

certainly clearer than the original

innit   ;D

Question 12 has just been amended.

The entrants who have already sent in answers have been PM'd giving them the opportunity to keep or amend their answer to this question.

FARCE!!!!

Good woman.  You're on a roll already.  At this rate, you will surpass all others before you by a country mile!  

comedic farce

any chance of amending q7 into english?

Mr Farce , he was pink innit?

eh?  why have you changed it?  Question was fine as it was, and I would estimate that 10 potential answers have now been reduced to about 3!!!!

lol

and Mr Kinboshi will be bleedin pink and blue all over when I get hold of him   ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr;

Just following in other's footsteps - thought it was a RSQ unspoken rule to change a question after posting them he he

can someone please pm me with a clue as to who glenn miller is. is he some old bloke?

sorry - missed this

here you go:

Name a fecking London Underground tube line   ;D

I've kept my original answer as i had researched after giving in my answers.

Also never heard of Glenn Miller - is he a whiskey?

He would be old, very old, if he was alive.

Changed it for purely selfish reasons at reveal - to make my life easier.   Actually increases the amount of possible answers, plus has a more defiinitive pass/fail answer.

beethoven old or elvis old?

Closer to the latter.

really - very surprised tbh.  I'll stick with my original answer anyway.

Gatso re glenn miller - that's the question we're supposed to use our pass on I think.

You've probably heard the music though. I feckin looove it. Ultra sheep question though :s
Decent rsq. I think. :( Bring back the farce!

Glenn Miller features a lot in my parents house - grew up with his music being played continually.  This has not changed, My 8 year old sat through the Glenn Miller Story (twice - he passed on the 3rd running which was all in the same day lol).

It's like Marmite, you love it or hate - I love it 

[  ] good move
[X] was a pass
[  ] still a pass
[  ] there are now more correct answers

oh, nearly forgot the last one...



[X] Farce!!! ;D

at least everyone knows what marmite is

Hello

Some clarifications please

Q5 you want the colour of the "set" of three properties?

Q8. You mean the Glenn Miller Band? Not sure he had too many solo songs

Q4. You mean a band with a number in its name? Because if its numerals ie XI, V, XIII etc we might be here quite a long time



After all,in a positional  numeral system (with b a positive natural number known as the radix), b basic symbols (or digits) corresponding to the first b natural numbers including zero are used. To generate the rest of the numerals, the position of the symbol in the figure is used. The symbol in the last position has its own value, and as it moves to the left its value is multiplied by b.

For example, in the decimal system (base 10), the numeral 4327 means (4×103) + (3×102) + (2×101) + (7×100), noting that 100 = 1.

In general, if b is the base, we write a number in the numeral system of base b by expressing it in the form anbn + an − 1bn − 1 + an − 2bn − 2 + ... + a0b0 and writing the enumerated digits anan − 1an − 2 ... a0 in descending order. The digits are natural numbers between 0 and b − 1, inclusive.

If a text (such as this one) discusses multiple bases, and if ambiguity exists, the base (itself represented in base 10) is added in subscript to the right of the number, like this: numberbase. Unless specified by context, numbers without subscript are considered to be decimal.

By using a dot to divide the digits into two groups, one can also write fractions in the positional system. For example, the base-2 numeral 10.11 denotes 1×21 + 0×20 + 1×2−1 + 1×2−2 = 2.75.

In general, numbers in the base b system are of the form:

    (a_na_{n-1}\cdots a_1a_0.c_1 c_2 c_3\cdots)_b = \sum_{k=0}^n a_kb^k + \sum_{k=1}^\infty c_kb^{-k}.

The numbers bk and b−k are the weights of the corresponding digits. The position k is the logarithm of the corresponding weight w, that is k = logbw = logbbk. The highest used position is close to the order of magnitude of the number.

The number of tally marks required in the unary numeral system for describing the weight would have been w. In the positional system the number of digits required to describe it is only k + 1 = logbw + 1, for k \ge 0. E.g. to describe the weight 1000 then 4 digits are needed since log101000 + 1 = 3 + 1. The number of digits required to describe the position is logbk + 1 = logblogbw + 1 (in positions 1, 10, 100... only for simplicity in the decimal example).


and I don't think you meant to imply that in your question. Lovely lady, but you don't go that deep I would contend.

Could be worse

could be Tikay old

Oh new tack here, not shouting "Farce" no direct insults but, instead, just patronising.

I'm not entirely sure what the monopoly question is asking for... are you just after a colour?

And wtf is Glenn Miller? There goes my pass lol.

The fact that I play Pints Make Prizes far too much has saved me on a few of these :)

OMG - just seen QM's source for amended question 12.  Dont go out on Thursday people - this is shaping up to be the biggest farce to date!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[X] I still fail

sigh, Tighty Tighty Tighty - no one likes a smart arse - no matter how deep you may go  ;D


Glenn Miller Band - OK smarty pants - I'll give you that one (pendants of the world unite)

Monopoly Question - I asked for a 'set' you can buy (not an individual property/road name) - so yes the sets include colours and colours can be given.   Hope this helps.  (I also apologise to Traffic jam for this question - just reading the word monopoly will probably put you on life tilt - eek).

Well, it HAD to match the biggest epic FAIL to date  rotflmfao

choker?

what have the delegates of the international necklace convention got to do with it? :D

Proper LOL'd at two above posts

What a bloody farce.

I think I've managed to outdo myself with the nomination this time.  Who would have thought that Laxie's Londonderry legendary farce would be under threat so soon?

I apologise now, unreservedly. 

So looking forward to Thursday

 ;karabiner; ;karabiner; ;karabiner; ;karabiner;


Mind you - I think this is a set up cos we have 54 entrants already

54!!!!

rotflmfao

Can we start the reveal a bit earlier?  I have work on Friday.

FFS he is doing my head in  ;ifm;

I would like to clarify q1. would I be correct in saying that it should contain a definite article rather than the indefinite article in the op?

it completely changes the meaning so I just want to check you're not referring to some weird spoof version that I've not heard of

So you bleedin should - the good community of blonde did NOT deserve this lol

oh yeah, sorry, let me clear that up

Name a fecking reindeer from Twas a night before Christmas



 ;bumwiggle;

so the indefinite was correct? fol

shit - good spot gato.  Fail for me - never heard of  that particular piece of work :(

My Dad is a big fan of Glenn Miller, and he used to inflict his records on me.  Unfortunately, he isn't a big fan of twas a night before fecking xmas..

do we have to guess which night before christmas it was? if it was, say, august 18th would there be different reindeer's (sic) than on october 1st?

can we go back to original plan for reveal next Thursday?  I really don't think two days is going to be long enough to get the deserved amount of QM abuse in.

rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

7. Name a London underground Tube line (sic)

I wish there was an avatar to show someone laughing so hard that their legs are weak, tears are pouring out of their eyes and their cheeks and mouth all stretched and hurting.

You guys just kill me, no i mean, please kill me hahahahahahahahahaha

what does (sic) mean?

Oh no you don't - you ain't getting out of the compulsory abusing of the QM that easily missy!

In this case, that your question is a tautology

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

"It is most often used, though, to highlight an error, sometimes for the purpose of ridicule"

Treat yourself as ridiculed.

ah that, my comfort zone  ;)

would that be thursday the 4th or thursday 11th - just clarifying on behalf of Kinboshi  ;D

oooo that was a good one.  You're back on my Christmas card list. Quite impressed with that.   Apt and accurate.           

nice summery.  rsq perfection (perhaps)

muhaha, best rubdown RSQ ever, well taken though.

After a heavy night on the tiles I once threw up on the Tube (sic)

I wrote sic before cos I thought maybe it wasn't a tautology but a trick question, as in London Underground Tube would be a tautology.

Sigh.

So many who claim to be bright, & have taste, & you don't know who Glenn Mller is, or what happened to him. I can't be arsed to explain. I'm just not In The Mood.

nice sig

He should be banned for this imo. Banned big time!

objection to Tikay the troll giving out answers before deadline for entries!

Agree - anyone who answers Question 8 after tKay's post should reccieve double penalty points!!

Sent although I had to go through this thread to fully grasp WTFarce the questions actually meant!

could you let the rest of us know?

You owe us a quiz!

You seen his body tikay?

 rotflmfao rotflmfao         I would request a banning but it was just too good to be punished


Can we compromise on Tikay being made to enter this week lol

sshhhhhhhhh don't get them started on the potential scores farce fiasco

During the War , the radio stations moved up to Bedford,from London,  to avoid the bombs.

Glenn Miller was stationed at Clapham about 2 miles north of Bedford

Every year on the old grass track at TWINWOOD  they used as a runway , there is a tribute to Glenn weekend

He played  at Bedford Corn Exchange . v popular he was.

He was the best Known" Big Band "of the 40's,

Book Early for August bank Holiday weekend

Heres a link , http://www.twinwoodevents.com/

I was invited to this one year, but couldn't go

Fortunately the local paper reviews it every year so I know 3 Glenn Miller songs lol.


Entered by the way, worrying sheep tendencies in my answers I think

That's one more than me.  I think you will have the two i know.

+1

Bugger.

so just to get this straight. there's an old bloke dead singer whose songs you wouldn't know except that some band plays a tribute to him which is reviewed in your local paper and because of that, presumably as a result of your photographic memory, you now know 3 of his songs?

I wish there was a mouse cursor that removed blue things from Avatars..!! :)

Are you not a person working in the newspaper or magazine printing industry?  LOL

Thanks for this info - a must family do will look into booking asap - perhaps a mini Blonde Bash?

Hope he is a good diver as Glenn Millar's plane was lost over the North Sea!

looks good mich but whats the deal with the monopoly quetion??

like the london theme  :)up :)up

Monopoly...  London...  Really???  not more???

tut tut

Really, I wouldn't mind going to that

You got that right  ;D

totally different terminology in Production - the most common ones being JFDI, You C**T, QAD Desk, Get a F*king standby NOW - I kid you not lol

I knew two famous ones, and dredged up a third from trying to remember the review in the Beds on Sunday. Page 26 in the review section it was I recall, and the old film "The Glenn Miller Story"

I still think any of these three are sheep-ish. Fans will know to avoid them and thus Ace so its not a good relative question for me

I passed the Glenn Miller one, obv.  Had a gander at his greatest hits on amazon afterwards and had only heard of two of the songs on there, but would never have known they were his.  Presumably those will be the sheep!

I have epic-failed Q8.

That is all.

I know 5 off of his greatest hits now I've looked

Yeah, I had one on my iTunes that I thought was correct. Put it down and sent. Then looked and realised it was Steve Miller, not Glenn Miller.

You joker!!

now I've got to google steve miller as well. another old bloke?

some people call him the space cowboy

no, he's the gangster of love

LOL at not knowing Steve Miller

yes, some call him the gangster of love.  Some people call him Maurice too, I believe.

2 Steve Miller songs should be known by all.
I don't think i recognise any of Glenn's work. [ ] I had a real good go at listening to it all

Like I said, EPIC fail.

Serves you right for all that midnight toking...

I dont know why, but, notification emails from this thread are hitting my Spam box.!!... Never been the case before.  Something in the subject must be causing it me thinks as all other notifications from any other thread hit my proper inbox..!!

Sent.  But why hasn't QM kept an updated list of entrants?!  We're in for a loooooooooooooong night me tinks. 

Big Brother, SoccerManager and RSQ. A good Thursday.

Full day of poker and RSQ. Will be farcical no doubt.

[  ] songs

Oh dear.

Glen will be turning in his grave at this.

He won't be, his body was never found so he wasn't buried.

The Calm Before The Storm..!!

So many potential objections!
Heaven help those who think Glenn Miller songs don't have to have words or words can be added to instrumentals post death and still count.

FYL

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

Unreal.  It's like Cork GAA read the blonde forum prior to planning footy matches just to mess with me.  Sarah has an U12 match at 7:30.  I won't be home to defend my answers until at least 9:00!!!  Expect delayed objections (if required) upon my return.  You have been warned! 

Ah, thats a mighty shame chicka - gotta be here at the reveal for the question you want to object to or I'm moooovvviiinnnnnnnn on and no going back   ;goodvevil;

Got afeeling it's going to be one helluva storm  rotflmfao

Yeah.  Good luck with that.  [ ] will be easy

Now now - it's ooonllllyyyyyyy a game  ;D

Keep telling yourself that.  Will make our 'job' A LOT easier tonight!   rotflmfao

Your perfectly safe for objecting to your questions by the time you get home - hell, you probably even have time for a post footie nosh up and STILL be back in time for reveal of question 2  rotflmfao

lol, checked the edit dates, that was added today. You, and others like you, are giving wiki a bad name.

 ;tightend;   wish I'd thought of that hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Corrected

You wouldn't!? would you?

I'm feeling for our Laxie here, this keeps happening soooooooooooo I have made a decision that our wee cheekypup lass can nominate someone on her behalf to post her objections (ie - give me a good ol rough time) until she gets back.    Only fair I think  :)up

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

Hell no - I'm gonna take my abuse like a man lol

lol

funny but please don't mistreat wiki, it's not big and it's not clever.
I thank you

Oh don't let me answer that and then have to ban myself.

They last about 4 mins, a bunch of peeps with nothing better to do sit there waiting to revert all but well-referenced changes. Thank ****, the whole thing would be an unreliable mess otherwise.




uh wait a minute...

Check the new last line on that page ;)

I think it's already re edited.

LOL they dont hang about ...

blonde poker RSQ's are a true definition of FARCE !

lol. How *dare* you Kevin! :D

"Farce in general is highly tolerant of transgressive behavior"

I did vandalize the Wiki "Banksy" entry once, was reverted within 5 mins. Go figure.

Good stuff.  I'm risking Kinboshi as my fighter.  This will be a real test of his fighting abilities and intelligence, but fingers crossed he can handle it.

gg laxie's objections

Hoping for a win so i can do a quiz next time :P

aha, the demon Kinboshi is now in place and ready to fight Laxies corner





The fight probably won't last long - I've got the sh1ts already just thinking about 7.30pm  rotflmfao

FML           Why wasn't I aware that you wanted to do this - hell you can take over from me now if you want   (pretty please with a cherry on top)  ;D

Right, Ive got my pen an paper ready   .....

got my fags ready .......

got southern comfort on standby .....






I was curiously surprised to see the amount of PM's saying   GL   after their answers ....... I thought the QM usually says GL to the entrants   rotflmfao

OK, I'm waffling on now



this happens when I'm nervous

I love Kinboshi, no, I really do, he's a swell guy








 ;grr;

[ ] no need to be nervous Mich :)

[X] I couldn't disagree with you less

FYP


 rotflmfao

 ;nemesis;

oops, forgot to submit answers - to be honest i only knew one answer to about 3 of the questions and still have no idea about who windy millar is :(

i could name the colour of every member of the mr men gang yet come up with one answer to the charles dickens question, obv book shops in the jungle catered for different tastes :D

still think question 12 is a shamblees -  Have objections prepared!

I should have just stuck with this question  rotflmfao

Bookmarked my link already ;)

hopefully Mr T.End is making notes for the live BB RSQ :)up

Did ya know that some mr men changed colours throughout their lives?

Jeeze woman, this ME we are talking about - I have no concept of preparation, or time, or     well most things lol


I am so NOT prepared.

I have no spreadsheet - just my pen an paper and gonna work it out as I go along.    I have no idea tot he correct answers to my own questions, in fact my own questions confused ME when i read them back the next morning  rotflmfao



I have taken heart in the fact tha Mr Daniel son was really being mean to all you lot and not me by nominating me to do this    ;D

oops

only because the sun faded the colours on my Mr Men wall freeze :D

he's only saying that because he's going to try and convince you that Mr Bounce used to be Blue :D

Show me the way to go home ...... I'm tired and I wanna go to bed     

Whats the name of Mr. Tickle's wife?

Mrs Happy?

Why do I get the feeling my spreadsheet and my services are going to be called into action?

Well, if you're offering ......  :hello:

lol - I mean I have objections prepared!  You're not allowed to object to your own quiz!!!!!

Yeah, I'll do them. Scores, that is. You still have to rule on objections and such.

What if I paid you???   Would you consider the objection ruling then???    ;pokergods;

FARCE

Nope!

Abuse is all yours!

My decision may have been helped by the small matter of not understanding half the sodding questions and guessing at least 5 of them.

MR Tickle's wife by the way is...  Tess...

Snap  haha

OBJECTION

objection.  you said 'in full'.  anyone who didn't put 'London Borough of.....' beforehand should fail, obv.

second objection deleted - i woz wrong!

Nobody objected, so thought I would let ya have ya first..!!!

???

city of london is not a borough

Already scored it as 2.

Seconded

ok

as long as the scorer knows what's going it shouldn't matter that the QM has been left behind

Richmond is - according to Wiki.

City of London isn't, again according to same source.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_in_London#London_boroughs

I didn't put 'merton' though, I put 'london borough of merton', as specified by the QM in her detailed instructions :D

+1

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

So did I!

westminster should be city of westminster

I put London Borough of Bromley as demanded

City of London is a fail...!!!

Shows on the Wiki page too a marking to say it is not a borough

Enjoying yourself Mich?

;)

full answers please michelle, as they were submitted, so we can object to those who should fail!!!!

or you could just edit the question so it doesn't say in full :D

erm - no - that would be a farce of the highest order!!!!

ohhhhhhhhhh...  is this gonna be a long one....!!!!

http://www.london.gov.uk/london/links.jsp (http://www.london.gov.uk/london/links.jsp)
London says City of London is a borough.

I'm happy to take a fail. The quiz is a farce.

Wikipedia just says it isn't. I'll need a link to the proof, we can all write it isn't.

FYP

Hellloooooooo

in full I meant the ones that had two names   eg   Barking AND Dagenham -

Of course, you lot are well aware of my incomprehension of the english language and that I fully expect everone to be able to read my mind and know what I mean sooooooooooooooo there blah haha


You will have to bear with me with slowness in replying  - nowt I can do about that though


City of London is not a borough and i put it in wrong place - good start hahahahahahahaha

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

look at the little sort of plus sign next to it and see what that little plus sign means lol

QM is the final arbiter, the level of farce they wish to achieve with their RSQ is entirely up to them

read it. It just says it's not a borough just like people on here. why not please?

I'm struggling to keep up with reading the comments - when i do catch up I will be having a laugh and enjoying it - thank you soooo much for you kind concern he he



On a serious note guys, I do struggle to read PC screen so pls   re-post if I miss an objection  x

"The administrative area of Greater London contains thirty-two London boroughs. Inner London comprises twelve of these boroughs plus the City of London. Outer London comprises the twenty remaining boroughs of Greater London."

sounds pretty clear cut

Happy with that Jon MW. COL is a fail

"City" of London, the name gives a clue as whether it is a borough or not.

"The City is not one of the 32 London boroughs. It is governed by the City of London Corporation, which has some unusual responsibilities for a local authority, such as being the police authority for the City. It also has responsibilities and ownerships beyond the City's boundaries."

city is irrelevant

"The City of London is administered by its own distinct body, the City of London Corporation, which predates the London boroughs"

50 states in America, but everyone laughed when the quiz machine disagreed in Luton.

err, no it doesn't as 'city of westminster' is a borough

please fail 'westminster' mich as that is not the full name clearly

Objection - Blitzen is not a Reindeer. His name is Blixem
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Visit_from_St._Nicholas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Visit_from_St._Nicholas)

I am so gladd I am not clever  :dontask:

Objection

this objection is too late

plus the extra posts will make it harder for Michelle to keep up with what's going on

OK - city of London fail as Mich said - scores updated to reflect that.

Michelle - what about Westminster - pass or fail?

Objection

Only joking Mich.

If that were the case then Westmister fail?  Ner..

I am accepting Blitzen as this name has 3 versions depending on publication and all are one and the same

Blitzen   Bliksem   Blixem



Blitzen stands

City of London doesn't

the 'in full' objection covered everyone who didn't put London borough of for the other one's as well didn't it?

Mich to decide if the objections are too late or not.  I nominated her as QM, not the Cowboy who loves the theatre.

Accepted

But there is also RSQ precedent to think of.

We can't have new QM's breaking tradition left right and centre. that would surely end in chaos

Seeing as Mr Sharlea is doing the scoring I can accept late objections ONLY if he doesn't mind going back and amening scores

Mr Sharplea - is that OK with you??


HOLD the scores - I want to double check westminster and col again as on my notes I just found it said COL was a borough and I can't find the blinking link for it   

Not entered, but loving this.

What time - roughly - will this Reveal be complete?

And can I abuse Mich?:

Scores held:

Objection for Westminster - did entrant put "City of Westminster" or just "Westminster"?

I'm happy to accept late objections as long as the objection is for the current or previous objection. No sodding objections to Q1 at Q12, for example.

Mich likes abuse, but, you need to be wearing you gimp mask Tikay..

OK, london borough link I AM GOING BY


COL - Fail
Westminster - pass



moving on, nothing more to see here haha

hush now - I already explained MY meaning of full


Blame kinsboshi  ;D

Floor???

A mat or something yes, but the floor???

vault is not an apparatus

OI OI   when the devil did you sneak in



thought I left you tied up good and proper - how on earth did you get to the keyboard  :dontask:

Whats that? is it the floor?

Read Robert's Rules.  The floor is one of the apparatus in gymnastics.  Do you not watch the Olympics?

you're objecting to that not being an apparatus but not the floor or mat?

Intermission, AGT starting ITV 2. Susan Boyle does not feature.

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

seems to confirm both vault and floor as being ok

AGREED How can a floor be "equipment"?????????????????????

objection

what is this?

Mat/Safety Platform – 2

Thetank
Acid Mouse


its not a discipline in either mens or womens

if its apparatus its the same as floor


which is it?

so it's yet another quiz where the quetions and answers don't have to match? great

OBJECTION!!!!

WTF is Mat/Safety Platform ?

the Floor is classified as an apparatus for both men and women

http://sify.com/sports/olympics/Gymnastique_artistique/index.html


Stands - not reverting on this one    ;nana;

NO NO NO NO NO....!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO....!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO....!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO....!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO....!!!!

Only GOOGLERS would call it this..!!!  OBJECTION...!!!

well yes, at least the latter 2 are nouns and could very, very loosly be claimed as apparatus

The floor is the apparatus.  Safety platform/mat isn't the floor - it's a FAIL.

this.  and how on earth did two people put it!?!?  Presuming these were supposed to be fails as they're at the bottom, but mich has just farced up the scoring!

Clear fail


"and now, in the safety platform/mat excercise, its Nadia Comaneci"

like fk it is

FAIL

If the safety platform/mat is allowed then "swingy ropey ringy things" would also be a correct answer.

If someone said MAT, its a fail..!!!

Chalk..!!!  I should have put Chalk... 

+1 mich

fml thought it was 12.00 questions in by an reveal 7.30 friday

what's it being a discipline got to do with it?

I should have put leotards, or tights

I was dubious of the Mat and read it on the site as saftey plaform   BUT BUT BUT in my eyes it's a piece of equipment not apparatus, but then seeing as in MY world I know not so much and see things completely differently to everyone else I thought it probably was right sooooooooooo

open to the forum

Mat/Saftey platform - is it an apparatus pass   or an equipment fail?



 ;popcorn;

because it stressed it had to be used in Olympic competition.

or Camel Toe

London Borough of Tarmac FTW

COAT..!!!  Will get it...

its a complete FARCE, thats what it is

obvious fail

Agree even I can see that

just following previous RSQs - thought that was how it works    rotflmfao

EPIC FAIL

both fail as is floor, it's an area where they perform, not something they perform "with"

rotflmfao

You are showing your ignorance of Olympic gymnastics.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Artistic_gymnastics_apparatus

Like this quiz - a fail

If you accept floor, you need to accept "air" as that is where they do their summersaults...

Floor is specially made and considered apparatus.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_(gymnastics)

This weekend? No, I'm in Dublin, working. But NEXT weekend, for the Sky Poker Grand Final - you bet. You at that?

as opposed to the beam and bars, which they perform 'with' not on....

[ x ] Logic fail

or 'london' because that's where the olympics will be

ah BUT the air is not a discipline and the floor is   so go and make a cuppa and let of some steam hunni bun cos I'm not reverting on this nnnoooowaayyyysirrreeeeeeeee


FLOOR - PASS
MAT - FAIL


Moving onto next question now

Nope - will be packing/moving.

Well done Mich for being right.

cant figure out the 2 fails lol

OBJECTION - you can only post on this thread if you say FARCE at least once

OBJECTION!!!!

E17? ? ? ?

You mean East 17 surely?

Seconded...!!  Its a fail...

Do ya think when they said XTC, they thought it was a roman numeral?

FFS

Check sources first

East 17 (later re-grouped as E-17) are an English pop boy band founded in 1992.

will wait for all objections to come through for each question before replying .....

 /:-|

[ ] question asked for a discipline

Unlike the first Q we didn't have to give the full name.

Much as it pains me - boshi is ,gulp. right:
(http://bullshid.webz.cz/pictures/other/east-17.jpg)

But no number 1's as E17

E-17 had a top 10 hit?

In your eye kin, with a twist!

sigh, all these people stuck in the past




unlike me with my glenn miller he he

Same group ffs

evidence? linkage? album cover?

The right one would help though.

is this an objection to me  :dontask:

[  ] Sure they were. 

Actually a different band, with different members.  Mortimer (and integral part of East 17) wasn't part of E17. 

F

A

I

L

Yeah but the had no top 10's...   It is like Wet Wet Wet...   the wets had no decent records top 10 either...

E17 was the comeback name. they def had no hits under that name

agreed

It was the name of a nightclub

boo was dithering between heaven 17 and haircut 100.  Wish I'd gone with the latter - would have been so much sweeter to deny Tighty the ace!

OBJECTION

How do the 2 people currently winning manage to pick the only 2 aces out of all those colours

:D

When the Question said 'Set' I took it as a makers set i.e., USA version - not the colour of the sets on the board - that is why I passed this one!

I nearly went for Red as well.  Whoops, that would have been an ace too.

But I think the clue to the answer to your question is in the question.

OBJECTION - EVERYON failed except me...!!  I put the proper names not the flamin colours ffs...

Nope, I also gave the names as well as the colour for completeness.

Also gave the names, that was obvious

Overuled - too much to ask sharplea to redo all scoring hahahahahahahaha

objection - there is no orange - red, but no orange

wtf?


course there is orange

pink is actually light purple, but I have lost the will to live

FAIL you should of said Original UK Version - I HATE MONOPOLY!

Eh?

Red is the Strand, Fleet street and Trafalgar Square.

Orange is Bow Street, Marlborough Street and Vine Street.

yes I know that - just wanted to  make kin sweat a bit

I didn't ask for colours or names - I asked for sets    so therefore I would have and did except both ways of answering



especially happy with those that put utilites or trains

You asked for a "name" of a set, you have been given descriptions!

+1  that's how I ended up with a sheep.  would have gone for just 'red' if i knew i'd get away with it, but wasn't 100% on the names of the components

Mr Google was busy...

(He's blue, red yellow and green)

light purple - you having a larf mate


It's Magenta - 100% magenta in cmyk

so wrong

Farce¹⁰⁰

At least we didn't give a bloody postcode as the answer.

so you agree then

pink-gatso..is a fail not an Ace?

assuming you are talking about the whitehall   pall mall northumberland ave   ones

What Mr Slow is Green  - doh as if I would have a Mr Men book in my house!  Very unfair question unless you have children in your house!

I am

so Pink-gatso is a fail by your own words then?

hush you - go and lose the will to live quietly

you wouldn't be allowed to check them even if you did!

QM ignoring an obvious fail gets me loud again

you'll learn

Tighty is right, pink is a fail, magenta is correct.

He went for the easy pink, but it was a fail.

excuses excuses - how many times have you read Mr Slow and had it read to you       ;nana;

OBJECTION to all passes a lot of googling going on here!

Laxie-Mr Chatterbox

LOL

If I had put "Mint" would I have got an ace?

a few of us went for our own stereotypes - me included!

Mr Paininthefeckingarse - Kinboshi

Pink-gatso fail decision please

Is Pink a fail or not for Q5?

Waiting for decision before I post the scores.

PINK....  100% fail me thinks...!!  (Gatso gone all quiet)

I read question wrong, head was up my butt that day  ::)

In which case that means that everything BARRING utilities and train stations are a fail as no one put the cmyk breakdown or printing colour



nah, see, objection overuled
