Sorry I am a bit late getting this up.....giving a fair bit of extra time for entries etc on that basis.

Reveal Tuesday 27th September at 7pm. Deadline for answers 12pm on that day.

Lowest score wins. Points for each question is the amount of people who gave the same answer. So you want unique correct answers.



Most common answer is called the sheep.

Incorrect answers score the sheep + 5.

You have 1 pass which you may use if you wish. You score 0 for that question.

No using google etc.

Challenges/Objections to answers allowed/failed to be made on the night of the reveal. All will be considered but the QMs say is final!

Answers to me via pm. Good luck!

1. Name a Vice President of the USA since 1970.
2. Name an independent state in the Caribbean (must have declared independence or always been independent)
3. Name a winner (male or female) of 'Rear of the year' competition
4. Name an artist or singer that has been top of the British singles chart for four weeks or more with one or more singles.
5. Name a TV show that originally aired on HBO.
6. Name an author that has won the Booker prize
7. Pick one of these flags at the bottom and say which country it is from
8. Out of the sporting trophies named below pick one and say which sport it is won in:

a) Stanley Cup
b) Hardaker trophy
c) Lombardi Trophy
d) Calcutta Cup
e) Heisman Trophy
f) Challenge Cup
g) Cy Young Award
h) Millenium Trophy

9. Name a city which has hosted the Summer Olympics
10.  Give the name of an answer that could have been the correct answer to two or more of the previous ten questions.

Q10 looks awesome, wp.

Cant do a few of the other questions though so will skip this week.

3 questions i can't answer and 1 question that having re-read it several times, I don't think there is a correct answer to. Therefore I am OUT again.

A tough one but really good questions imo.

IN

Any chance a mod can pin this to the top like they normally seem to?  or can i do it?

Pretty tough this week.

On first glance i've got no clue bout a couple of these (there's such a thing as "Rear of the Year"? Officially!?) and thats before I even think about Q.10, so i'm prolly gonna give this the wide un!

Done.

Flag and trophy questions could've been so much better.

When will people finally get the idea of these quizzes?

Stick the union jack, france, and a couple of other obvious ones in there for the flags,

Put the ryder cup and the FA cup in the trophies one.

It doesn't matter if they're ridiculously easy. That just means that everyone can play.

Couple of piss easy answers, half a dozen that some might know and a couple of nigh on impossible answers and you're about there.

Agree re: the Trophies but there are two very easy answers to the flag q imo.

This is going well then.

Can we at least get an explanation of Q 10 as unless there is a president of the USA that has won " rear of the year" I don't think there is a correct answer,

i would imagine there are a few that could be correct answers for both questions 3 and 4.

There are also correct answers that don't include either Q3 or Q4

Oops.  Forgot I was supposed to be doing this tonight and got tied up trying to sort some problems with one of my consulting gigs.  Can't do the rest of the week either.  Am officially worst QM ever!!!

Actually will do it at 1030 this evening.

Skippy is our champ and has the pleasure of seeing if he can regain the rep of the quiz after this farce!!!!

Objection - Why is Robbie incorrect?

Wins on ROTY and had over 4 wks at No1

QM done a runner?

Farce!

I claim 2nd place.

Got to admit this is the one I wasn't 100% on so might be legit....which record was he ast #1 for more than 4 weeks with though?

That's not what the question asked for...

Artists that have had a number one in the UK charts with one or more singles for four weeks

So, if he's had 4xNo1s for a week each, its a correct answer (and I'm sure he must have).

Hmmmmm......wasn't what I meant obv but can't really argue.  Congrats on your second place which is clearly the nut position to finish in a RSQ

Wow, an objection upheld!

Total farce, but I'll live with it :)

Absolutely robbed

Weeeeee!

This reminds me of the only time that I ever won anything at school sports day- I came 3rd in a relay race with only 3 teams in it.

I'll get some questions up today!

Just seen this.  There were  a lot of correct answer.  Barbados/St Kitts/Antigua were a flag and Caribbean country, Rugby Union was the answer to two of the trophy q's.  Rome first aired on HBO and was a Olympic City.  Richard Fairbrass won ROTY and had number one for more than 4 weeks I think.  I haven't researched them all but Lulu, Suzi Quatro, Will Young, Ronan keating all won ROTY
