Welcome to Reverse Sheep 22.5 - the NEW one where the scoring will be perfect, and that's about it.

There is a new spreadsheet in town, so be prepared for disasters of farcical proportions on the reveal evening.

OH, and for those of you who don't know, Joobie and I aren't living together at the moment so she is free to enter this quiz, I'm doing it all on my own.

So, without further ado, I present...

Rules

Here's the deal.

There are 15 questions, PM your answers for them to me by Tuesday June 16th at 12:00pm, each answer on a separate line please, in order of questions.

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 to come up with answers. All answers must come from your own brain.

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

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

Spelling mistakes will be laughed at and may even invoke a penalty.

Any questions post in this thread (or PM), but don’t post your answers obv.

The reveal will be 7.30pm on Tuesday June 16th

Should a previous QM be victorious, he/she has the choice to either nominate a new QM or do it themselves, unless you are Laxie, HOLDorFOLD or Suited_Jock. You are only allowed to nominate. ;)

Objections are allowed but may be ignored / punished dependent on QM.

I reserve the right to change these rules without notice at anytime before the start of the reveal.

whee - much better!!!

 just for clarification, is it ok to put an answer for the simpson's one where the celebrity has appeared as a cartoonized version of themself?

Will wait for reply to this then send in answers  :)up

Still think it's a load of hogwash.  Will decide later if I'll play.

The celebrity must have recorded a voice part, whether it be themselves or someone else.

Notes on Questions

1. does it have to be an English football team ?

2. does a politician count as a celebrity

5.Can the deaf person be someone who is dead

15. surely past rsq winners will have an unfair advantage,

 ;applause;

good set of questions now, wp

obv the reveal would've been more fun in the old version but hopefully this one'll get lots more entries

Wiiii, some of the old questions still there.

[ x ] Google checked my amateurish answers to the last quiz

[ x ] I now know decent answers to a lot of the above.

Wiiii, some of the old questions still there.

Sent!

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  I will enter this one.

WP on changing a few questions.

Well buckled under the pressure Adam.  Better questions, but still a complete FARCE obviously.

Stickied

It's not that good.

generally better, well done.


why though do we get repeat questions? Go back through past RSQs man. Originality is better.

generally better, well done.


why though do we get repeat questions? Go back through past RSQs man. Originality is better.

The RSQ's started with 11 questions.

So definitely no need for duplicates.

This is just too hard, dunno what I am gonna do to get through it..!! :)

sent

definition of major?

if its on the national rail website's list, its in.

Brace yerself Sharples, my entry is only minutes away :)

fk me, how easy have i made this?

total amount of Alcohol consumed or amount of alcohol consumed per capita?

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

I have a rule, if i cannot answer all the questions without having to google, I dont enter.


Try it yourself for once ;)

Report says:

Total recorded alcohol per capita consumption (xxx)  in litres of pure alcohol

Is Dukes house a country ??

Cant answer that question, sorry.

That is actually a great question. I guessed, hopefully intelligently, as I assume per capita means some unusual countries will be in there so its not straightforward.

i've already forgotten what I guessed for that one so can't google-check it!

Just flicked through the sky movie channels GG Harry Potter question

this disgraceful cheating needs cracking down on imo

Gentleman in question has already submitted answers 3-4hrs ago.

meh, just ban tighty then please. his poor attempt earlier to justify his obscure answer to the alcohol question deserves penalising even if he gets it wrong

much improved i can enter now..........

Answers in by Monday June 15th at 12:00pm??

is this lunchtime?

Yes. If it was midnight it would have been 12:00am!

Out of interest, how many QMs get just the answers from Tighty, does he give a full explanation for all his answers when submitting them?

why?

usually just the answers, sometimes some commentary

full running commentary with mine.  TMI in places.  It's like he has to justify his answers to prove he hasn't googled.  something about protesting too much perhaps?

Litres FFS..  PINTS in this country

What if it changes between now and the reveal?  Long time that is..!!  Number 10 could become number 11..!!  LOL

Sent.

After coming in the bottom half most weeks I originally decided that I must try and win this one....
But then I decided I didn't want to join the Googlers.

:)

CHANGE

I've extended the time of submission to Tuesday at 12pm rather than Monday because of the many tournaments this weekend and because I overestimated the time I'd need to sort everything out.

FARCE!!!

Why do you care?

+1

i submitted answers 4 days ago and still my name doesn't appear on the list - maybe we get the reveal on xmas eve :D

I don't, but any excuse to call the RSQ a farce must be exploited!

Fixed. :) In the right place as well in order of submission.

hmmm, sandwiched in between 5 time winner Tightend and 3 time winner Kinboshi - maybe thats a good omen :)

some people would pay good money for that! 
















Sick, sick, people, obv.

"3 time winner Kinboshi"...  TWO..  I think.. !!!  LOL

Taking 1 weeks between RSQ's seems to have slowed the momentum...

Matt must have seen my answers for this week's.

Query:

For question 9, do you need the full name of the character?

Or only the full name if it would be ambiguous not to do so?

Didn't have a choice really. Especially with the changing of the questions.


Full name is preferable but if it's obvious which character you're talking about then I'll allow it.

Note to self...  MW ambiguous answer..  OBJECTION...!!

my apologies, i thought he won it and took up the QM mantle and was then further wins were responsible for the Farces that were Laxie and Hold or Fold's RSQ

on the plus side mine was done in 48 hours and Laxie's was brilliant fun ......  ;whistle;


 ;D ;D ;D

5. Name a famous person who is deaf.

real or fictitious person?

Pardon?

real.

sod it

define famous

define real

define deaf

Real as in lived on this earth ,not a character

See definitions for "blind" in previous quizzes and apply. ;)

so it needs to be someone that can't see?  :dontask:

I heard that..

LOL

Someone who has hearing loss. See the "famous, real, blind" definition for real and famous.

so they just need hearing loss? don't actually need to be deaf? farce

Well, with all the answers I'm checking to see if they are known to be deaf. Yes, and you pass, no and you fail. I do have a list of "famous deaf people" and so far this has been good enough.

I'm ready to object to pretty much all answers on that question

the very long list of famous deaf people on wikipedia only has 5 people I've heard of and only 2 of them are/were actually deaf as opposed to hard of hearing

I passed on this question then checked the wiki list.  i'd never heard of any of them.

looking at that list there's a bookbinder who's famous for being the first deaf person to publish a book. that's really not what I'd class as famous

I forgot to PASS on one question. can it be the sheep answer please

The sheep answer that scores over 12

Heres a couples of blondes from the Sky Poker final

I passed deaf people

Only knew one, I thought, so thought it was too sheepy.

Still can't think of more than one famous deaf person!

9.5 HOURS LEFT

Entries deadline is 12pm. Better hurry up people!!

I also passed the deaf person question, wonder how many did.

I knew 2 - so I did the one I didn't think would be a sheep

With enough people passing, even if I'm wrong I'm hoping it shouldn't be too bad.

Sent!

I knew two too.  I bet you've gone for the same person as me.

Did one of them bite his piano?  lol

I have no idea who or what you mean!!

In, phew!

ENTRIES CLOSED.

Nooooooooo you said 12pm ... I thought that was midnight ...

Can I have a 10 min extension pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

A good point.  12am and 12pm are not valid times really.  Let the Kivmeister in, so we can object to all his answers.

so you were going to enter 4 1/2 hours after the reveal started? penalty for cheating please sharples

12pm doesn't therefore exist

therefore your deadline doesn't really exist

therefore Kev should be allowed/forced to enter

Sent, all done in a rush ... probs muffed it right up, but due to the excellence of the QM and the sheer brilliance of his questions, i beg for leniency for my tardiness.

Allowed. That's it though.

You will win Kev...  If you take a long time thinking, you end up with millions of sheep..!!

What time are we revealing ??

7.30.

TONIGHT...???

Obv.

Tuesday is RSQ night.

LOl i get it nh Sharplea, nice one i can play :)

Good luck tonight , Is Jooblea gonna do the scoring as you do the answers

This will be fun ;goodluck;

This is a joke, right? Scoring is already done.

AND CAN BE CHANGED.

I sense a certain stuborness about tonight LOL

Welcome to the REVEAL of Reverse Sheep 22.5

Reverse Sheep 22 was cancelled because most of you couldn't answer the questions. So here's the revised version. Settle down at the back there please, Mr Kinboshi.

The reveal will take place in an orderly fashion, or I'll just add truckloads of points to you all.

Objections will be listened to as unlike previous RSQM's, I actually can change the results in the spreadsheet without it all going completely mental.

So, you have 5 mins, grab a drink, snacks and put some relaxing music on and get ready for the FARCE of all FARCES.

google penalty please sharples

if you google 'uefa cup winners' then the first link is to the cup winners cup. pretty incriminating imo

LOL I wouldnt know I just guessed a big team

Agreed, blatant google cheat ... and self outed too !!

Might not be a farce, but it deffo wins the "most edited" award.

 :hello:

it's not supposed to run this smoothly is it?

There still time

Before ANYONE objects - I suggest you read this:

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

Evelyn Glennie
Kinboshi


Is that the bird who plays the xylophone ... was trying to remember her name earlier



Also would Tommy (the pinball wizard) have been a winner ??

Yeah she's the sweaty sock who plays the xylophone (Patrick Moore is the only other person who plays it).  Thought tighty or Robert might have chosen her as well, or even Jon MW.

Please check Laxies bracelet answer -- it was deffo googled

It was checked. It's an Ace.

brian wilson- partially deaf

didnt say it was fecking wrong -- it was googled

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Wilson#Early_Years

How the feck do I prove that?

You of all people should be able to do that!!!

I thought proof was by consensus?

sykes- partially deaf

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Sykes#Personal_life

Partial points for partially deaf answers?

ray- almost completely deaf

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnnie_Ray#Early_life

There is no way Laxie googled her answer, I can vouch for that!!

Agreed question was "deaf" not slightly fkin hard of hearing lol

Who made you the RSQ police?

from the first line on the wikipedia article:

A hearing impairment or deafness is a full or partial decrease in the ability to detect or understand sounds.

so partial seems fine

Seconded

Here's how I prove that it WASN'T!

http://www.womenspokernight.com/bios.php

If you read down the list, you'll notice that both she and I were authors involved in that book.

I nearly put Mrs Richards from Fawlty Towers, but then it had to be a real person

Agreed

Partial should be allowed.  For partial points.

Blatant brag post imo.

Lets say half a point then.

DEFINITION OF DEAF:

deaf  (df)
adj. deaf·er, deaf·est
1. Partially or completely lacking in the sense of hearing.
2. Deaf Of or relating to the Deaf or their culture.
3. Unwilling or refusing to listen; heedless: was deaf to our objections.
n. (used with a pl. verb)
1. Deaf people considered as a group. Used with the.
2. Deaf The community of deaf people who use American Sign Language as a primary means of communication. Used with the.

I have checked multiple sources and they all say the same thing - PARTIAL or FULL hearing loss.

I have just received a remote Fatwa from Dawn -- FML

;spam;

Best QM yet.  ;hattip;

abs bollocks. next week let's have the question 'name comething that is white'

I'm going for zebra 'cos it's partially white

then for the 'name someone who's 50 years old' question I'm gonna pick a 48 year old 'cos they're nearly 50

LOL let the farceness begin

we moving on?

Next week's question.

Name someone who's blind.

Answer = anyone when they have their eyes shut.

All objections denied as partial loss of hearing falls under the defintion of "deaf".

If an Objection is ignored does rule 3 apply

" Unwilling or refusing to listen; heedless: was deaf to our objections.

so Sharplea must be deaf

Name a quizmaster who is deaf to any objections, correct answers, or the rules.

We've had farce questions.
We've had farce QM's.
We've had farce answers.
We've had farce objections.
Ladies and gents we now have the first farce entrant.

Not sure he's the first, but he might turn it into an art form.

I made a mistake in the marking - please see new answers for Q6.

even the title of the thread is a farce

Marking - not scoring. The scoring is perfect. All I did was put the wrong answer for someone.

Beethoven was deaf?

objection to yorkshire and sussex

they are not counties


http://www.gbet.com/AtoZ_counties/

historic counties, yes. but that only means they were counties during norman times

You did.

The scores as posted are correct.

partially?

What I go from 11 to 13 with an ACE?


::)

He could not hear his own bark..!!

LOL - I re-scored everyone else from the Walsall list

Might have missed you out...

It'll be sorted on the next one.

lol - love the rod Sharples has made for his back with the quiz title - awesome.  At least we get some proper farceness now - was looking like it was all going to go far too smoothly :)up

Don't bloody LOL me and try and sweep it under the carpet.

LOOK AT THE TITLE OF THE SODDING THREAD.  FFS SUCH A LET DOWN.

SACK THE SCORER

The question referred to cricket and Yorkshire and Sussex are recognised as Counties in the 2009 Championship

Deaf = Hearing

Perfect scoring = wrong scoring.

It all makes sense now.

Sharplea is the Ludwig of RSQ. Hard of Scoring

if it had asked for a team in the county championship then they would be correct, however it asked for a county. neither are counties

is a fail that gets the most incorrect answers still considered the sheep score?

.

There are many definitions of counties.

I'm looking at this one - please hold on.

No.

who invited you back?


Ice hockey, shudder

FFFS hold on -- you let go of reality ages ago

It was in my quiz, as per the rules!

it is if you read the rules but it'd probs mess up adam's spreadsheet so he's got to say no

There isn't actually a definitive list of counties in the UK. They are split differently according to the purpose - such as a council administrative region.  The post office, for example, don't use counties at all in their addressing system.

This site lists Yorkshire as a single entity:  http://www.abcounties.co.uk/

Sweet. Don't really care about the objection then. Yorkshire will go from 6 points to 7 points. It'll hurt the other guys more :)

It wouldnt.

The sheep score is the highest number of correct answers. It's impossible to have a sheep score for non-correct answers as the FAIL score has a sheep score so you need the sheep score to work out the FAIL score, with me?

Anyway, I've decided.

Counties were defined in the Local Government Act 1972. Yorkshire and Sussex are not on that list, they have been split up.

Objection upheld - Yorkshire and Sussex are FAILS.

lol, nice try.

that link is to a load of history geeks trying to keep the identity of historic counties. i.e. not current counties

you fail

it didn't ask for an administrative or a ceremonial county either - so what's the problem with a historical one?

Objection upheld - Yorkshire and Sussex are FAILS.


Londonderry is now forgiven

LMAO

Where did you ask for a County based on the administrative definition according to the Local Government Act 1972?

wiiiiiii

I'm just gutted no-one went for the other non counties that are glamorgan and middlesex

"Yorkshire County Cricket Club represents the historic county in the domestic first class cricket County Championship; with a total of 30 championship titles, 12 more than any other county, Yorkshire is the most decorated county cricket club."

In cricket, it's a county.

I didn't.

I asked for a county and based it on the most recent definition.

Classy objectioning sir, getting Yorkshire and Sussex failed

Question explicitly says "Name a county that has a team..."

The 1972 act gives A definition of a county - it doesn't give THE definition of a county

Middlesex is also a county.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

that's me day sorted.  Cheers Adam!   rotflmfao

You have farced this into oblivion. If there are various definitions you have to be more accurate in your questions. You have failed as a QM and, surprisingly can't score properly either.

for the second time you've proved the opposite of what you're trying

look up what a historic county is fool

it doesn't say anywhere in the rules that the most commonly given correct answer is the sheep answer - it's the most commonly given answer full stop.  If you are having difficulty scoring on that basis, I refer you to question 3 of RSQ 19 where I did so without any difficulty.

Matt674 high up. Kev would be a popular winner too

As opposed to administrative county you tool.

He didn't state that it had to be an administrative county, merely a county who played cricket.

The QM obviously has no spine and doesn't have the courage to stand up to his initial decision.  Like an invertebrate, he meekly bends over to any pressure applied.

Pathetic.

What you on about.  Marylebone Cricket Club?

Taken a week, longer than normal, Tuesday is NOT RSQ day, it is A RSQ day. You have had two attempts at setting questions. Why did you bother?

It's just not cricket  ;)

  QM has allowd himself to be bullied

Sharplea Ludwig, you are now officially the worst RSQ QM ever. Failing Yorkshire and Sussex will haunt you until well past the composition of your 12th Symphony in Whinge, Joobie Minor.

just be grateful it's only cost you yorkshire people one extra point instead of the 5 extra you'd have got if the scoring was, ahem, perfect.

most bizzarre post ever on an rsq thread

Please tell me why an historic county can't exist? Historic towns exist.  The historic town of Colchester exists.

Rubbish argument.

Oh look, historic towns and cities:

http://www.information-britain.co.uk/historic-cities.htm

They all exist!!


The Historic Towns and Cities of Britain

Britains many and varied historic towns and cities are the heartbeat where trade has flourished for centuries and so continues today. Some of the country's best preserved buildings adorn the ancient narrow lanes and bustling thoroughfares and many are recognisable from television and film sets today. Magnificent cathedrals and churches dominate the skylines and each has a very different story to tell.

TY harry potter

I think i love you.

The only way I would ever do a RSQ is if Gatso is on hols without net access :D

Do explain?

So yorkshire are not in the cricket league? wow is there a point to this bollocks if thats a fail...seriously..
.
last one i bother doing

I didnt say that. Re-read the question, word for word.

Yorkshire and Sussex are Counties

Yorkshire and Sussex are in the Cricket league

obv. it's a fail

its not supposed to be trick questions, u had to do the quiz again coz u failed to grasp basic concepts of this..dont put everyone off it again.

my mistake - 4 extra.  the sheep score is 6 so the fail score should be worked out on that basis.

FYP.

it wasnt supposed to be. I mis-worded the question and Gatso called me out on it.

Terrible decision to disallow them 2 counties, poor poor poor show...!!

they can exist, it's just that yorkshire as a single entity doesn't

can we call this off and give it to someone who can handle the task?

+1 and love the new avatar.

I suggest Trafficjam

If the sheep score is 6 then Yorkshire score 6.

They CAN'T score 6 because they have to get the FAIL score.

How can they get 2 separate scores in the same question?

If you mis word the question you should mark it according to how you actually worded it, not how you intended to.

Like I did in my quiz on the one question this applied to.

why punish correct answers merely because you are so awful?

LOL

The historical counties still exist in several guises - just not administratively

no - they get the fail score.  6+half the number of distinct answers.  the fact that the sheep score is 6 does not necessarily mean that score has to be given.

No, because unlike you I admit to my mistakes in the original question.

I originally thought Yorkshire and Sussex were right. Then I looked again. There are no MP's for Yorkshire or Sussex - there ARE MP's from North Yorkshire and East Sussex though.

OK Mr peter perfect scorer QM and all round always right guy

this has passed being a Farce, Brian Rix is spinning

utter utter bollox TBH

why's cdw's harry potter wrong? that's the american title isn't it?

quizmaster fail.

You should stick to your guns - you asked the question - Yorkshire and Sussex are recognised as County Cricket Teams

come on, Yorkshire and Sussex are not fails

WP gatso though

you're not allowed to suggest!!!!!   look what you've done!!!

gatso must be in hysterics that his objection actually got through

+1

anyway, can we move on now?

To get the fail score you have to get the sheep score, yes?

"Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer."

if I win this one I'm picking kev for next qm

 rotflmfao

Im really disappointed in your QM skills here Adam, you seem so much a perfectionist during other RSQ's but it would seem when you QM yourself its not as easy as it looks!!

again - it doesn't operate at an administrative or political level

doesn't mean they don't still exist

Adam, did your original question intend to disallow them 2 or were you just looking for a team out of the county championship?  If the latter, your mistake should be reversed

Harrow is in Middlesex.  Not sure about the rest though!

How can someone who's perfect FAIL?!  Ye all gave him great praise for excellent questions whilst I posted it was utter rubbish.  I blame the lot of you.

this is the same crackpot website that kinboshi linked to run by history nerds who want to protect historic counties as they've been scrapped by government. the list is not of modernday counties

oh ffs, what's he said i'd do this time?

And you'd probably all prove me wrong lol

If my new avatar is annoying anyone let me know...

To be fair - have you ever seen him play poker?

Shouldn't be a surprise

Kinboshi, look at the the above list (the same as your link) what county are liverpool in?

Scratch 'rubbish'.  I called it HOGWASH the other day.  My apologies.  Need to come up with something a bit stronger as we've hit a new low in the depths of the RSQ.

Come on Sharples ... ignore the haters and get this farce over with.

"What county are liverpool in?"

English language fail.



What about Manchester then?  Where is LANCASHIRE's ground?  In Manchester?  Oh, Manchester isn't in Lancashire any more according to the politicians. 

So is Lancashire a fail, as it obviously doesn't refer to the country of Lancashire as they play in Greater Manchester.

hold up.

what about the harry potter objection?

wtf, how is 13 not an ace - i preffered the old version of this question, i was gonna (hopefully) ace it with Amber

Only just seen it.

Too much arguing over Q7.

It's the American version.

[   ] we are in America.

[ x ] it is the title of a published harry potter book

sigh, I thought I would Ace with 13!

OBJECTION -- John Boy Walton was in an episode of skins

I can't post a link Robert HM has barred me

I thought about putting 13 but figured at least a couple of people would put it

as you've been telling others after the cricket argument 'read the bloody question'

def correct

Objection denied.

Clear enough?

Seems to me Gatso is really trying hard to win this FARCE!

[    ] John Boy Walton was a main character.

Well, think about your sodding actions and correct your mistake now.

Appearing one episode makes someone a main character?

Only if he's slightly hard of hearing and not an historic character.

post what you want, I'm past caring.

Ah sod it - whaled with Philosophers Stone. Scores will be updated in the next posting.

Should of answered "House" for the "House" question, would have been an ace lol

Spineless and SHameless

Sharplea = Ken Barlow

Define main then mr picky (it's a bit late to be picky)

it's cdw's harry potter answer and has no bearing on my score. makes me less likely to win if this objection succeeds

Depends what definition of win you use really

whoa - why whale it.  It's a legit published title in America and question did not say UK published.

Answer should be correct by itself

Q:  What's the difference between a duck and sharplea?

A:  A duck's a vertebrate, so it has a SPINE!

I need a lie down, I am feeling sorry for Sharplea here !!

why?


there's QMs and spineless amoeba. He comes into the latter category.

Same as being Deaf in Sussex
