The Rules

There are 10 questions.

PM me your answers by 23:59 Monday 13 December.  The subject line should be RSQ EPISODE 25 - ANSWERS, and please give each answer on a SEPARATE line with corresponding question number.

The reveal will take place at 19:45 Tuesday 14 December.

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, and you're not allowed to ask others for help with your 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.

Lowest score after the 10 rounds will win.  In the case of a tie, the person with the most posts will win.  If there is still a tie, the first to post will win - DUCY?

ridic questions, farce, you're a mug kinboshi, sort it out

ok, off to read the questions now

:D

haven't got as far as the questions yet. only got to this ridic rule


putting that in when it's not your first go is a joke. power gone to your head much?

Absolutely brilliant. Love it. Quadratic equations make me excited.

Nah, just copied and pasted from a previous one.

What if Girgy doesn`t want to do it ?

lol i do like the maths!

Love the questions but reserve the right to call it a farce!

Best questions ever!

why are there no sport questions for me to complain about? farce.

Rubbish questions - a disturbing lack of farce.

I shall enter though, feeling confident that farce is an emergent property of RSQ.

The questions are ridicoulous.

who are the people in the photos?

How dare you insult my intelligence? Ive already won an RSQ!!

I'm in, although Tuesday is pub quiz night, so I'll only be in on the reveal from about 11:30pm.

[ ] It'll be past q3 by then

It's rubbish and I'll play.  Might even turn the answers in early.

:D

nh sir

...and well-used it would seem.

Do we get extra credit if we answer all the maths questions?

No, but you do get a grade B at GCSE.
If you answered them all tomorrow, you'd get an A, cos of grade inflation.

If you know all the colours, all the couples, all the 12 days of xmas gifts, all the currencies in Europe and can can answer all the maths questions - then you get a bonus point.

But only if you PM me with all those answers before 14:39 today.

I don't even know who any of those people are never mind their relationships.

Any?  Really?  Not sure I believe you.

You might want to pass on that one then.

anyone? unless peter crouch has been banging princess di then I'm clueless on this one

1 - Not a clue. Though looks like a guy who plays poker in leeds
2 - Some guy from tv i think, looks familiar
3 - ???
4 - ???
5 - ???
6 - ???
7 - Peter Crouch?
8 - ???
9 - ???
10 - ???
11 - ???
12 - ???
a - ???
b - ???
c - ???
d - ???
e - ???
f - jennifer aniston
h - ???
i - ???
j - ???
k - ???
l - looks like kate from lost but doesn't at the same time

well you do have the option to pass of course

need that for the colours question though

think I've figured out a couple now though

I'll buy you a telly, and a history book.

oh and Cf if that really is the extent of your knowledge on the pictures, i am pretty astounded, must be a level

Has to be a level. 

I can name 9 of the phots plus I know who 2 others are but not their names

Whose name don't you know?

By the way, everyone who's entered so far had no problem with the couples round (well, they knew at least one couple each).

count me in, will try to pm answers before I leave Vegas

I didn't know a few of the females, but still thought it was a great question

Don't leave it - bring it with you!

(Hope you're having a great time)

I've remembered who they are now so I've got 11, luckily not all the same sex so that's plenty

think the question are not that bad this week

i am with cf in the picture round though i know 4 maybe 5 of the men and 5 of the women

problem is not sure is the 4 men i know match any of the women i know

and where is prince charles in the pictures?

Prince Charles isn't one of the 12 men.

When we reach that question I will give out all the names of the 'famous people' in those pics.  I'll be surprised if anyone has never heard of more than 2 of the people in there (and I'll still be surprised to be honest).

hum i must have got one of the ladies wrong i though one was lady di

Why is that wrong?

Regarding the style and variety of questions, I have one thing to say....

Nobody likes a smartarse!

Wiiiiiiiiiiii - that was easy peasy!!!  Bring on the reveal!

whee I can name 20 of the picture people.  therefore I am much cleverer than cf.  can die happy now.

it's a sad world where intelligence is measured by whether you read the same celebrity magazines as kinboshi

math questions were dead easy!!!  did most of 'em in me head. 

Obv I'm passing the picture question.

I always hate picture rounds. I'm really bad at photos of people. I once looked at a photo of me and failed to realise it was me.

You and Stevie Wonder both.

Loving the questions BUT this "If a previous winner is victorious they will nominate the next QM - and this will be a virgin QM" has me a bit worried.

I would be the worse QM EVER!!

I know who i'm picking if i win

snap - couldn't think of anyone that hadn't QM'd yet to pick.

the good news Suzanne is that i'm unlikely to be in the position of having to choose someone :)

pmsl - spat my tea out at that one hahahahhahhahaha

I thought I was bad at picture rounds (as Claw will testify at my diabolcal answers to apparwntly very famous people on the Blonde Bash Quiz ...... still loving that quiz, the best ever  ;D  )



EDIT:  Not too hot at spelling either having re-read the post

dunno, I thought your team's answer to the picture of Edward VIII on the picture round was the highlight of the quiz :D

Oh and also this is RSQ 35.

31 before we stopped it and this is the 4th of the revised lot. So no where near 25ish at all. Sort it out.

Ignoring rsq live and rush rsq here of course.

Answers sent but it will be a farce. Must make a note in diary not to be around at the reveal.

good questions, enjoyed answering them!

Dude...seriously.  You need to get out more.  Just sayin'

Erm, I could sure be bothered counting or going through the previous ones - hence the wild stab in the dark at the number followed by (ish).

You should be brushing up on recognising people's faces rather than counting previous RSQs. 

Are you suggesting I go and do some research to help me identify the people in the photos?

No, for life in general.  If you answer that question at all now, I'll know you've cheated.

A Reverse Sheep Quiz Master (in this case Kinfishy) is a person who passes as an exacting expert on the basis of being able to turn out, after innumerable punching, an infinite series of incomprehensible questions calculated with micrometric precision from vague assumptions based on debatable facts taken from inconclusive documents and carried out on instruments of problematical accuracy leaving people to believe that they are of dubious reliability and questionable mentality and that the exercise is for the avowed purpose of annoying and confounding a hopelessly defenceless band of intrepid contestants who were unfortunate enough to enter into the competition the first place.

and breeeeeeeeathe   rotflmfao

wtf

I was never sure if the duke was of sound mind but now i know.

And what do you think now?

He still can't remember what he looks like.

Entered. I actually know the rules this time!

Get your entry in by midnight tonight.

:)up

25 entries so far...

Just remembered!

well there are now, or are you farcically letting some people enter more than once?

cliffs please......... :)up

tl;dr big words hurt my eyes.

well i decided to enter quiz instead of trying to decipher it!! :D

to be perfectly honest, no, I don't

Hurry up Dan.

I'm guessing that anyone who has to endure 5 hours of kinboshi's incompetence to ensure they are the first to post just in case of a tie deserves to win :D

Because they would then be the person with the most posts?

That makes perfect sense. So out of place in this game.

:)up

most ever? or on this thread? or during the reveal?

Normal nonsensical service has resumed.

on the thread i hope

+1

+2

+3

+4

+5

-1=4

isnt that the answer to Q4 (c)?

i dont want to win what is a very easy quiz so for that reason i am out but i might be around for a farce

Have you been using your nuts to count?

1x - 2b = 80000k  name the lot.  lol

. x =100000. b = 10000. k = 1.

Or any multiples thereof.

I'm going to lock this thread.

I'm going to unlock this thread

Yeah, I just realised that most of you on here are actually mods.

Never mind, carry on :D

Mods come in many forms it seems. From the elite ninja mods down to us mere mortal mods.

Yer such a geek.


But only one of us has a really cool invisible cape with sparkly bits on it.

Do not the "sparkly bits" ruin the idea of it being "invisible"?

it's not actually invisible, it's just really hard to see

The reveal will start at 19:45 (approx).

I know yer QM and all - but if we're not allowed to give 'approximate' answers, what makes you think it's ok to give an 'approximate' start time?

I'm going to be out tonight, so I'm going to do this in advance:

Some of yours would have been better as approximate answers.

茶番劇

:D

I'm going to delete random posts of anyone who looks to be doing well.

[ ] That's a surprise

I'm here now.  just polished off sausages and mash and deciding which question reveal is the best time to put hannah to bed.  might just let her stay up til midnight....

Hurry up I want to know what logo 5 is, it's been bugging me

Farcical delay to the answers.

 ;sleep;

or i could have put her to bed at 7.45 in plenty of time for the start...... ;sleep;

Can Hannah abuse Dan though please? Best get her started early eh?

I knew about 2 of these, felt pretty thick

This

Get a move on..

Get Hannah onto Club penguin while we wait....

I remember when these used to be good

I've just made her close it down so mummy can do her 'important grown up stuff'

she said 'whatever major loser'.  with hand actions.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Forget Club Penguin, she'll get into a nightclub at this rate.

hanging about, doing nothing

kinfishi is not even on the list of those viewing the thread - FARCE

whilst were here waiting i'll fill some time with a little anecdote.  see that little pile of coins in my avatar.  I won those off some geezer for betting that matt would win x factor rather than one direction.  it was with some excitement i collected the little pile of coins from the office today, only to find that said geezer had also polished off all but two of the twin pack of malted milk biscuits i'd bought last week  ;grr;

Worst QM ever.

Blatant 'I have a work colleague" brag IMO

Objections?

hidden to try to avoid flak (like that'll work)


steady on.   let's give him 30 more seconds before we go that far.  

mmmmmm Malted Milk are lovely

Or is no one reading Q1 answers?

wouldn't all but two of a twin pack mean he hadn't had any of them?

Not so you'd know.

Takes the biscuit!!!

it would help if you didn't add them to a post two pages ago

Full posts only please.
Like putting the results up now and going back to your original post and putting everybodies answers there.
This is live. Latest post on the latest page please.

It is...

No objections, but epic fail in ensuring no one saw the answers the first time!!

Yeah, cut and paste fail.

will you be adding anwers to random threads around the forum? could turn rsq into a treasure hunt

Everyone happy?

Objection - That doesn't resemble the Bentley logo on their website.  Similar but different.

Good objection, who said Bentley is the right answer though?

lol

I object to my objection - you had it as a fail!

I'm so sorry

Also sorry I support Barnsley

Thats why he got 10 points, he got it wrong

Objection - answers format is too complicated for Cambridge graduate to understand.

I object that the question was set in such a way that objections were hard to find

Ambiguous questions please, or else gatso's presence is completely pointless. Or more pointless.

which one doesn't look like bentley? just so I know what we're talking about

FML,I knew a few of the other ones as well.

all of them?

Best questions ever. Worst answers EVER!

The Breitling one which, to be fair, doesn't have the word fail against it in the post where I was viewing the answers (i.e. the modified original post).

Gotta be up at 6.15 ffs!

You predicted my spreadsheet failure - after my blue screen of death failure....sigh.

get on with it boshi

I swerved the Oxfam one, thinking everyone was going to go for it - FML

40mins per answer could be epic

Oh lordy. To think I used to respect this clown.

we've had answers?

Has it started yet ??

Give me 5 minutes. Just rebooted after the computer crashed, and having to redo spreadsheet.

Sigh

I played it safe with Citroen thinking it would Sheep. 2 points, and got incredibly lucky

It's a persuasive case you make.

FARCE!

snap.  so if we'd both done it result same and we'd be bemoaning not going with fat face :D

LOL

Shall I get Bongo to call you? Ironside? tikay?

Not really

L ! Googling checking the tiles in the box is not allowed

QM formatting fail imo

go on - what's wrong with the leaping lords and dancing ladies then?

SCORES PLEASE!

and where the fk are the cumulative scores?

I know why I dont play these farcical games now - bring back super fun games imo

OBJECTION - this is the correct version:

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
12 Drummers Drumming
11 Pipers Piping
10 Lords-a-Leaping
9 Ladies Dancing
8 Maids-a-Milking
7 Swans-a-Swimming
6 Geese-a-Laying
5 Gold Rings
4 Colly Birds
3 French Hens[8]
2 Turtle Doves
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

Awesome 17th level thinking there Robert!

Is it the version asked for in the Question?

colly birds?  gtfo

I was going to give cumulative scores after the next round.  Thought they'd be some objections to that one.  No one's put forward a decent objection yet.

Different gravy - how strange for it to be a lawyer who's the one not to make things more complicated than they need to be.

ffs kin.  print your version pls.

A colly bird is another name for a blackbird, ..or crow

dunno - you stopped posting the questions.

worst QM EVER

you're in teh perfect position to partake of the super fun to be had - giving grief to the useless QM.

lol, inspired really (first one I thought about)

objection to partridges without pear trees

I considered objecting, but I'm doing so abjectly that it would seem futile.

However:

Objection to lack of scores on the basis that I need my humiliation to be complete.

I am making an objection to the actual song.

'Eleven Lords a Leaping' quite clearly scans better than 'Ten Lords a Leaping'

and everyone else......

sure does

A version considered by many to be the authoritative, traditional version of the chant in England appears in The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes, as follows:

The twelfth day of Christmas,
| My true love sent to me | Twelve lords a-leaping, | Eleven ladies dancing, | Ten pipers piping, | Nine drummers drumming, | Eight maids a-milking, | Seven swans a-swimming, | Six geese a-laying, | Five gold rings, | Four calling birds, | Three French hens, | Two turtle doves, and | A partridge in a pear tree.

Seconded

ever feel like you're talking to yourself?  so claire, i was just saying....

you even quoted your source that had pear trees in it

Count them

A partridge without its pear tree is inaccurate under the version of the song the QM quoted

question (crow probs best placed to give an authoritative answer). is eating 5 sausages in one evening merely indicative of a healthy appetite, or could it be that one is bordering on becoming a glutton?

Justification is that I missed that out, not them.

They appear to be more jumping than leaping

they're deffo lords

it sucks when you don't get the whole present. just getting a partridge reminds me of the year I got a swingball but the factory forgot to put the tennis ball on the bit of string

agreed-shoddy QMship imo

Even I'd over-rule that one - they're the least lordly looking Lords, ever, and they're not doing much leaping either!

I'd have scored his answers if he'd sent any in.

Any objections to the maths question?  Or the scoring?

you're making the whole game pointless. how are we supposed to know whether to object if you're not telling us what people actually answered?

epic understand the point fail

i sure spent 10 hours working any of the rest out once i'd sussed b

Verging on anorexia imo

5 seems OK

Mike Myers & Cameron Diaz

Shrek

No objections from that one?  Shall we go to the scores on the doors?

Yes but this was between film characters, so the characters should be quoted not the actors.

It's an ambiguity in the question that your simple statement does not resolve

No one cares?

I didn't see Wayne Rooney on the list.

Gladys and Robin?  another one that passed me by

From the question:

"Simply give the name of a man and woman from the photos below to make a 'famous couple' (either current, past, rumoured or on-screen between their characters)"

normal.  been a while since i had a jumbo unfortunately

Kinboshi your shit at this.

OBJECTION: Question based on fictional characters & events. All fails obv.

Is that an objection.  Are you comparing Aaron to Adam?

not only was judas thrown out, he was also always known as judas iscariot. judas on its own has to be wrong

not necessarily.  anyone that used to watch TMWRNJ would know that one.  nearly went with him myself

Kinboshi you're shit at this.

Did you get a C in English?

I am. Aaron is Adam lite, or not so lite these days.

Fail please

Matthew 26:47-49
    Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

Mark 14:43-45
    And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

Luke 22:47-48
    And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

Objection to phoebe buffay.

She changes her name in the one with princess conseula

yeah object to Rod, Jane and Freddy.  they weren't 'characters', just real-life people that sang in rainbow. 

WOW

got an ace

and geoffrey.  apart from the singing bit.

Who is Dawn?

She changes her name more than once.

Obviously to her double-barrelled married name, but also to Princess Consuela Banana Hammock.

It's still the same character though.

They had loads of character.

OVER-RULED.

you do realise that your and you're are pronounced the same?

Was going to fail it, but looked it up and she joined in 1990 as a main character.  So it's an ace.

The next door neighbour

In what, Rainbow?

that may be, but the use of the word 'character' in the questions clearly implies a fictional on-screen persona.

...and it makes no difference as Ger is still in last place.

Yes but just because they were once her name doesn't mean they are anymore.

By the time the series ends she is no longer called Phoebe buffay. Hence it's wrong. You wouldn't have accepted princess conseula now would you.

I did after I posted about your sounding better.

You telling me Zippy isn't real?

fml.  i got the same grade in GCSE English as Mond.  they're deffo getting easier innit.

yes.  or if  he is you'd better fail him too.

If you'd included Banana Hammock and given the characters full and correct name I would have.

The character is "Zippy's Neighbour" and she featured in 1 episode out of 993!

no one gonna question the fact that i'm clearly too old to have done GCSEs? ::)

By the way, I didn't object - I just asked a question and had to go researching the answer.

Clearly the way to get an objection through is not to actually say that you're raising one!

In 1989, Rod, Jane and Freddy left the show to concentrate on touring, pantomime appearances and their own separate TV show (which had run parallel with Rainbow since 1981). This meant that Dawn Bowden was introduced as a regular female character in place of Jane - ergo a hell of a lot more times than once

is that it? but it's only 9.30

Yeah, good point - only 3% of it is in Europe.  But that's enough for it to count.  Same as most of Russia is in Asia, but it still counts.

they should all be fails anyway

Very good Dan

but in a way very bad. Questions were precise, farce quotient was low and notwithstanding your usual IT issues, its over far too quickly

You've let us down.

* (Might be 46 if I change my mind)

Latvia is not a fail, the Lat does not change to the Euro til 2012

only good thing about this quiz is it's over in time for me to watch the penalty shootout

I don't know, answer correctly and still get a fail well done in my opinion.

Who said it was a fail?  It was an ace :dontask:

Haven't decided the score for that one yet.  Might sleep on it.

If I'd said oxfam instead of Bentley(which I was going to) would I have won ?

Think that's my highest finish at one of these.Result!!

Clearly I can't read properly tonight!

Yes, by one point.

Give it a week and decide on the apostle one as well while you are at it...

Does that mean there's time for a quick additional quiz?

Thank fk am stupid then.

Are we cheering Brentford on?

:dontask:

So well done McSnort

It will be a real challenge for you to set the next quiz without being banned for abusing Jon Lundy with religious slurs, but I know you can do it

Questions as soon as you can please, reveal before Xmas. Cheers

Great effort Dan, a bit too good!

McSnort, if you need a spreadsheet for the reveal, I'd speak to someone else.

Chaban

Well done boshi. Initial thrill of best Qs ever overturned by ridiculous reveal farce.

That was bloody hard work.  Spreadsheet on the fly after stupidly not saving it after I'd put everyone's answers in....  ;frustrated; ;technophobe;

:D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yeah, I am

Wow, great saves from the Brentford keeper.

;gobsmacked;

I would've saved the first one, it's the same place jackson's put his last 4 pens. the 2 after that were bloody good though

presumably tighty is preparing the questions as we type

Knee jerk reaction there, the B made me think of Bournemouth, who Notts County stuffed tonight. Bring on Sunderland!

innit quiet now :)

yes.  where has tighty gone?  and why is dawn awol tonight.  if she's not off doing important ninja business i'll expect a note from her mum when she gets back.

Keep an eye out for a sparkly shadow, trying to be invisible or just difficult to see.

FFS. I come back from the pub quiz, expecting this farce to be still on Q3, and it's done and dusted. Happy that I'm safely mid-table, having hit an absurd number of sheep along the way. That notwithstanding, what a


Good questions, though it pains me to say it :).

Obv was doing official ninja business ffs!  What else would I be at? 

May have taken a nap that went on longer than planned too - FML

where's the new quiz then?

One of the quieter reveals.

Coincidence?

Meh - had feck all to do with my absence.  Between yer rubbish delays in scoring and refusal to accept objections...no wonder it went quiet.  You drained their will to fight right out of them.  Was like dealing with a bald version of sharplea.  [ ] Well done. 

Only hope McSnort can bring it back round. 

where are the new questions?

He's showing as last active in the early hours of this morning. I can't imagine that the first thing he checked wasn't this rsq.

Unless he has a life?
