Title: RSQ - 50 not out
Post by: kinboshi on March 23, 2011, 10:46:50 PM
PM me your answers by midnight on Monday 28 March (unless you're Laxie, and you send them in at about 7am on the day of the reveal).

Please put RSQ 50 in the subject header and give the corresponding number for each question with each answer.

The reveal will take place at 8pm on Tuesday 29/03/2011 on this thread.

Your score for each question is the number of people who give the same correct answer. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.  If you score the only ACE (an ace being a correct answer which no-one else submits) in any round, you will receive MINUS 1 points for that round.
You are not allowed to do research such as using Google to come up with answers, and you are not allowed to ask others for help with your answers.  Remember, you are only cheating yourself (and your illustrious peers).

If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score + 5 points

You MUST pass on one, and only one, question and you will receive a score of 0 for that question.

No idea at all?  You've never seen or heard of 'Live at the Apollo'?


Title: Re: RSQ - 50 not out
Post by: Acidmouse on March 24, 2011, 08:51:17 AM
Of course I have heard of it. No idea what/who/when does it.

Same with the Tube lines, last time I went on a tube was 10 years ago, it was to Wem-ber-ly :(

Yeah, they're the only 2 dodgy ones really. I used the tube a couple of times a year or so ago, but that's the only time in my life I've used it. I could hazard a guess at an answer but wouldn't be sure. Unless you visit London regularly I don't see why you'd really know this.

If you've not watched Live at the Apollo then you might struggle. However, question can be rephrased to "name a popular TV comedian". A lot of them have done it so just guess one and there's a reasonable chance you'll get it.

The tube one is tough if you have never been to London or taken part in pub quizzes regularly.  But it could always be your pass.

The 'Live at the Apollo' question - it's prime-time TV, and if you can name a popular comedian who is on telly a lot at the moment, you're probably going to have a correct answer.  I could change it, but I don't think I will.  Might change the tube one, but I've already had some entrants - so not sure...

Used to go on tubes daily while I worked for a dot com in Richmond around 2000. I abs. funking hate tubes, everything about the rabbit runs I dislike.

Give me an old fashioned train station like the ones on the Settle to Carlisle lines or the ones scattered around North Yorkshire, where I can breath fresh air and not be 'kettled' into places by other commuters :(

The stations on the central line haven't changed that much since 2000, in fact there are more you can choose from now.  So you should be able to name at least one station on it - even if you never used it.

Any evidence to support the objection, other than lack of comprehension?

nope.  would also suggest evidence of google/wiki cheating has come to the fore and should probs be punished.

there are no hosts listed for series one or two, as it says in the opening of the article that jack dee hosted.  the list for those series is of guest comedians. try to take comfort and not let it ruin your evening :)

On my rather large screen, I can see that for Series 1 and 2 it doesn't have a guest host, because as it states, Jack Dee was the host for the whole of Series 1 and 2.

Series 3 was the first that had a different host, and Jack Dee was actually the first guest host in Series 3.

There are few in the running at the top, and Shogun is catchable. It all comes down to the last round.

At the bottom, Acidmouse has joined the runaway losers and the wooden spoon (also known as the Scottish Cup) is still all to play for going into the last round...
