The Rules

There are 10 questions.

PM me your answers by 23:59 Tuesday 21 December.  The subject line should be SNORT, and please give each answer on a SEPARATE line with corresponding question number.

The reveal will take place at 20:30 Wednesday 22 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 sheep score + 5 points

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 schmelling.

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.

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, an elephant question will be asked with first correct answer deciding the winner

Let the farce begin!!!


p.s Q6?  :dontask:

(http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2008/11/16/gal_victorias-secret-34.jpg)

Sharplea is going to get a slap from Joobie if she catches him when he's googling that one.

I still don't understand the tiebreak rules. can you either clarify them or preferably change to something more sensible. is it most posts ever, on this thread, during the reveal, something else?

sure is. you have met them haven't you? they compete to see who has the best knowledge of pornstars

terrible, terrible question though. the others are alright

i just copied the tiebreak rules, if its tied whoever answers my secret tiebreak question relating to elephants will win

Nearly had a mishap with a slice of pizza just now!   rotflmfao

cool, elephants are much better

the problem with copying stuff that kinboshi wrote is that you end up with abs nonsense

[X] in it
[  ] gonna win it

Does it say on the thread?  No. 

Can the total number of posts be easily seen?  Yes.

That's why I put that in.  Then obviously, if there's a tie the first one out of those tied to post will win - as they will have one more post than the other.

Simple really.

Some of the questions are excellent.

However, some I have no clue about and as I'm not sharplea, and I can only pass on one, I'm out.

just submit some comedy answers for the ones you don't know.  that's what i did.

Meh, there's three I can't answer - so not really much point bothering to answer the others.

The last question's a beauty though - do like that one.

I can't see all of Q10's Pics

I can now! ???

Can you now?

Yes, ty santa

Does Taximan have a stage name?

:D

In and in with a shout at the highest score ever.

oh and what's with the wednesday reveal?  tuesday please.

3. Name one of the 12 most followed religions in the world

on twitter?

Sent

I'm in, and anybody that doesn't pass no6 has blatantly googled. Otherwise, good questions :).

yeah. I've given this some thought and come to the conclusion that q6 is the 2nd worst question ever to appear in an rsq

yeah, it's pretty bad. i do like how we got a picture, but it doesn't help me have any idea who any of those people are.

Yes, but have you been studying the picture closely?

I've printed the picture out and put it on my wall. I'm nothing if not dedicated to rsqing

Enjoyed answering the quiz

Had to pass Q6 though.

I do officially put Q6 in my top three worst Questions on an RSQ ever. It's unguessable!

knowing I'd have to pass anyway I googled it and have heard of a grand total of 1 of the possible answers.

this is the only reason it's not the worst question ever, it's one more answer than I'd have heard of for sharples' thrash metal band or whatever they were

Had to pass 3 questions as I dont have a clue what Vict. secret was? who watches or reads about poker these days?

Er, people who log into a poker forum?

The WSOP question is completely fair for a quiz on a poker forum. No complaints from me about that.

it was joke :) but i still have no idea about the final table.

sharplea might be able to point you in the direction of something that might help

nor me.  I had a guess so keeping fingers crossed it's right.

there's one player everyone should get surely? beyond that it all depends on whether you paid any attention to it

i bet girgy knows the first name, sirname and cup size of every bird in Q6.

I wish i did sigh!

who? the winner?  I've genuinely got no idea.

No idea of any of the final 9 :(

lolz at people that play poker, are interested in poker & don't know one of the November 9.

It's harder to avoid knowing any of them than it is to know any of them.

wp.

A well known pro made the final. I'd expect members of a poker forum to at least know who he is...

Really? I avoided the result so I could watch the final without knowing the result.  Since then forgot all about it and not really that fussed about it.

Knowing one of the final table is hardly a big commendation towards the question. The idea is for questions that most people will be able to give more than one answer. That's the point of the RSQ. Isn't it?

farce and for that reason i am out

If only I'd survived for about another 7 days of play -  I'd have stood a better chance!

Next year....

I have no clue about the WSOP final table so passed on that one as I figured I'd have a better chance guessing at #6.

Not confident this week.

Proberly.

Has there ever been a question about Elephant polo?

sure there was one about a team sport Scotland are world camps at

I knew the names of 1st, 2nd, and the well known pro. Not saying which one I used :). I subscribe to Poker Player (cause it costs about 3p/year), and read the write up. I can understand why people wouldn't know though - just because we're players, doesn't mean we follow the loldonkaments. Doesn't make it a bad question.

Now q6. That's a baaaaad question. If it was "Name an supermodel from either the 80s or 90s", I'd be fine :)

So read all about it, and have a choice of 3 answers?  How does that make it a good question?


At least the picture's good.

sigh.  there was a question about this in a proper quiz i took part in a while ago.  I very proudly said I knew the answer and it was elephant polo.  when they read out the answers i did a little dance, obv, as no one else had got it right.  turned out we hadn't either - the rest of my team presumed i was pissed and talking nonsense (as if!?!), and put 'curling' instead without telling me :(

Similar thing happened to me, I can't remember exactly what the question was but I knew the answer was elephant polo and I did a massive dance before giving my teammate with a pen the answer.

Your dance must not have been good enough perhaps? My team went with the elephant polo and we got the point.

bumpity bump. entries need to be in tonight

How feasible is it for me to keep up with the reveal tonight whilst trying to watch a film in the cinema with subtitles from Swedish?

 rotflmfao  Good luck with that!  Let us know how ya got on. 

I didn't enter this week because I hadn't a clue on a few of them and refused to google.  Sorry McSnort.  LOVE playing the RSQ and nothing against you at all.  I'm just a bit thick this week apparently. 

im sorry people arent as big a perv as me and love googling certain underwear models :p thought more would have heard of them
reveal will start soon

Everyone passed Q. 6 then? :)

As if your actual answer is ever important in these things dean...

just checked i actually did put 1976 lol

surely catholicism isn't a religion, it's a branch of christianity

and I'd question whether buddhism is a religion but doubt I'll get that one through

Give it a go...I'll back ya up.

and I think shitoism may be spelt wrong

This

Object to Shitoism..

Can Tighty or sheriff post link to google page where this is a top 12 religion? :)

and while we're at it, no way is taoism a religion

Mcsnort has misspelled. Obv I put shintoism

Would second this in a heartbeat but have a feeling Tighty has tabbed charts to confirm his answer and stuff our objection.

yea i just counted it as Christianity as no one put that, its part of it so im gonna allow it

and lol at my spelling mistake

Obv

Also I know its late but the drugs question asks for a slang name for Cocaine - Gear is a slang name for Coke, yes it is used for other things as well, but is still relevent for Cocaine.

If you phone big dave and ask for Gear you get Cocaine not a go in the lucky dip :)

that's shocking logic. noone gave you christianity so you allowed an incorrect answer to substitute for it

Abso BS of the highest order!!!  You asked for slang SPECIFIC to coke.  Gear is slang for whatever the feck yer looking for.  Hardly gonna ring a weed dealer if yer looking for coke.

+1

if you ring little dave and ask for gear he'll sort you out with some weed

I obv missed the word "specific" in the question, thought it was just a "slang word for"  . . . . . .  and if I rangmy weed dealer and asked for Gear he would say - "sorry I don't sell that shit".

If I ring and ask for gear, a lady called tracey gets me football kits. I'm old

still this but I'd like to add shintoism into the mix as well. also not a religion as such

I know I'm not in this one but it's making poor f5 material so far...

Thought this reveal would be a breeze but it's turned into a FARCE of epic proportions.

Where's Kinboshi to adjudicate on religions?

would you like me to pm you a phone number?

wimp gone awol  he has some 'splainin' to do in the mornin'

Well I just googled top 12 religions from the cinema and the first hit - godweb.org had Shintoism in it

ok catholic is gonna be allowed

so is taoism and im gonna continue

Number of adherents:
Estimates of the number of adherents are hopelessly unreliable. Some sources give numbers in the range of 2.8 to 3.2 million. One states that 40% of Japanese adults follow Shinto; that would account for about 50 million adherents. Others state that about 86% of Japanese adults follow a combination of Shinto and Buddhism; that would put the number of followers of Shinto at 107 million.

One source estimates 1000 followers of Shinto in North America. The Canadian Census (1991) recorded only 445 in Canada.

Essentially all followers of Shinto are Japanese. It is difficult for a foreigner to embrace Shintoism. Unlike most other religions, there is no book to help a person learn about the religion. It is transmitted from generation to generation by experiencing the rituals together as a group.

obv a great source. it also contains confucianism lol

at least that source doesn't have taoism though

Have you allowed shintoism as well?

But more importantly it's included in Mr Garrison's "merry fucking Christmas"

Have that!

why are you allowing non religions though? and what about shintoism?

and what about gear?!  surely you can't allow that one?

Quickest rsq ever

Enjoying film?:)

I am about to ban gat the twatso. Move on

edit:

Says non ranking under China International but ranking under list of ranking events 1997/98 so withdrawn :)

no apparently hes scored 3 competitive 147s, one in 1992,1993 and 1997

ooh im in the lead and i actually remembered to check the reveal wheeee.

yeah. he's actually got 3 but the world masters was also non ranking

that link just backs up the objection. has 3 max breaks for him, world masters, british open and china international. only 1 of those was ranking

maybe he misspelt question...again

Has to be a fail . . . . sigh

ok will edit

also do you guys have massive side bets on the winner of this or are you just the biggest nits?

never thought of betting on RSQ - nice twist, I like.

No, just trying to tilt you...is it working? :)

Whatever you do don't include my scores if you do any cross booking, might bust you :)

betting on something that's subject to the bizarre whims of the qm would be madness. mostly we're just here to wind up the qm or tighty

Sick I am not a degen brag.I thought about betting on player vs player for who does the best.

Are we getting the scores after 9 answers to sweat final reveal or have you given up?

all that matters is that after your good work on the last question tighty can't win

so bonus question for moonandback and sherriff fatman

first one to post the answer to this

HOW MANY TOES DOES AN AFRICAN ELEPHANT HAVE?

three
per foot making twelve in total

(ninja edit)

12?

Well every day is a school day it seems - fancy calling yourself Brighton

they both put norma jean baker, my bad again was copying from website, so yes i accept baker and i always knew meatloaf's real name as marvin so woteva

and you both put samee wrong answer they have 14, arent elephants great

next tiebreak then

HOW MANY TOES DOES AN ASIAN ELEPHANT HAVE?

BTW I answered Norma Jean Baker on q10.  Never heard of the other one

Film good btw - still going

you can't accept baker. you specifically asked for the birth name so that has to be wrong

12?

im gonna accept baker as she was baptized that and god wouldnt be happy that you tried to overrule this shit

so did meatloaf people put marvin or michael?

18

what's that got to do with her birth name? if I get baptised tomorrow will that change the name I had when I was born?

the answer was 18 so moonandback wiiiiiiiiiiiiiins

hoooray for elephants

wd mcsnort

next questions up by midnight?

hurrah for heffelumps

will have some questions sometime tommorow need to think up a couple more.

cheers snorty, abs terrible qm just like most who've gone before. only saved by having an elephant question (though obv shouldn't have been a tiebreak if you'd marked the questions properly)

maybe moonandback will mark according to whether answers are correct or not. I won't hold my breath though
