blonde poker forum

Okay guys, here is your RSQ.

Haven't been able to spend as long as I wanted thinking of some really awesome questions, hopefully the following will suffice.


Rules:

The score for each question is the number of people who give that answer.

The most popular answer is the sheep.

Incorrect answers receive the sheep score plus 5 points.

Lowest score wins.

Using Google is not allowed.

You must pass two questions and will receive 0 points for those two questions.

PM your answers to me by 10am Tues 2nd October. The reveal will take place at 6pm the same day (let me know if this is too early and I can push it a bit later)


There are fifteen questions in total:

1) Name a current Premier league football manager.

2) A TV comedy series starring both Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer.

3) A root vegetable

4) An ingredient in Hollandaise Sauce.

5) A country that shares a border with Luxembourg.

6) A species of penguin.

7) A poker player with two thirds of a triple crown (ie has won exactly two of the three main accolades in torunament poker, WPT title, WSOP bracelet, EPT title).

8 ) A Baseball team that has won the World Series in the past 50 years (1962-present).

9) A county that borders Staffordshire.

10) A species of bear.

11) A James Bond film.

12) One of the states of the USA ending with the letter "A".

13) A top 40 hit by "ABBA".

14) The name of someone who made the final table of either the 2007 or 2008 WSOP Main Event Final Table (official final table only, i.e. only 18 correct answers).

15) Picture round: Choose a type of facial hair from the following list:

15 questions again!!

;frustrated;

Oh, and there is more than one question I can't answer (or can only give one answer to) - so for that reason, I'm out.

I didnt know the number of questions was not fixed.

I just copied Mint's template from the last RSQ as its the only one Ive ever seen.

Sorry mate.

That's like following the England football team on how to take penalties or the GB 4x100m on how to do baton relays...

You can do 15 questions - that's not a problem really.  Just that with one pass, and some questions that are a bit 'niche' you then alienate people who can't give an answer or more than one answer.  The ideal questions are ones with a good 10 or so answers, and some that are possible clever aces, but could also be a bit risky and be marked as fails.

Here are some RSQs from the past that I think have decent questions (obviously some of mine :D):

Some of mine:

and the original:
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=40258.0

I don't think Dino1980 really new what he was starting back then!

I have increased the number of passes to 2.

This should help on the questions that some may find too niche, to be fair though, the level of niche-ness is totally subjective, it'd be virtually impossible to put 15 questions that everyone would have an excellent grasp of.  there were 3 questions in the portsmouth RSQ that I literally only had one answer for.

I've tried to pick questions that aren't gonna take hours to debate, that have definitive answers to them.

It's easy to have 10 questions that don't include any 'niche' ones.

1. Name a fruit
2. Name an animal with 4 legs
3. Name a Premiership Football team outside the M25
4. Name a James Bond Film (as you have in your questions)
5. Name an X-factor winner

etc...

Can't think of any USA with only 50 states?

Me too, haven't a clue on the Prodigy or football manager ones, and not sure on one or two others.



3) The name of a service station on the M6 motorway.

I had a browse through a couple of old quizzes last week and this very question caused ructions before. Good start Sweetman.

Okay. Hold fire. I'll rejig the questions later on

Bowing down to mob pressure, a bad sign for a QM.



(Only joking, good idea :)up)

To be fair I've only ever been involved with the one I luckboxed last night.

Questions altered. Really don't want to have to alter them again

If your going to allow all this input, Sweetman, can I insist you only put up questions to which I am the only person who knows the correct answers? ;D I'll even write my own and pm them to you if you like!
Always happy to help a fellow Blonde! ::) ;)

Trouble-maker ;)

Moi?!  Poor lad hasn't got a dogs chance on reveal night if you got him to alter his quiz within a couple of hours of him putting it up!
You..., You..., Cyber bully! :D

Lol I did think this when the criticisms came flying in.  Hopefully I've made it easier now. Just crossing my fingers for less than 20 entries

Yeah, he's shown he's weak and the pack will tear him to pieces during the reveal.  Muwahhahahahahahahaaa!

Thanks Sweetie, much obliged.

The only football managers I know, though, are Don Revie and Brian Clough. Oh, and Bill Shankley. And Matt Busby.

If you could just tweak the questions again so that it is a football manager ever, that'd be great. Thanks again.

Farce

there is 3 or 4 i havent a clue on

infact what the feck is hollandaise sauce?

guess i am either going for a record high score or not going to be able to take part

what ever happened to only 10 questions

and questions that even an 8 year old would know 3+ answers too

I need all the help I can get!!

is asking for some hollandaise sauce for dinner so i can taste it and see what might be in it cheating?

Nope.  Not cheating.  Just ask for Eggs Benedict.   ;)

there are eggs in hollandaise sauce?

Ironside, just get him to change hollandaise sauce to something you know. He'll do whatever you tell him. Do you know any ingredients of tomato ketchup?

Hollandaise sauce is staying. You have two passes don't forget

tomatos



there are a few questions i need to pass on as i havent a clue

Honey, you haven't a clue even when you think you do.  Just do yer best and we'll have yer back on reveal night  ;)

what do you mean pass two? You may as well set 25 questions and pass 13.
Has anyone actually sent any answers in yet. Sort of regretting not waiting for Kinboshi's quiz now.

"Hello? Is that Who Wants to be a Millionnaire? Yes, hello. I'm due to be on your show in a few days, but I never know any of the answers after the 50k mark, so could you change those ones to ones I might know, please? Thanks."

Putting it another way, it doesn't matter what you put down. Right or wrong, someone will object and it'll be excluded.

People put perfectly clever answers like TINF as a type of oil used in cooking and they kick it out. 

i am with you there brother. But you got to accept that people don't always understand genius and have to carry on regardless. Poor old tightend has had his celebratory 10th RSQ win questions written and ready for months. It was great keeping him off his tenth win but I do feel Laxie went a bit far two weeks ago. I can't see Tighty playing ever again

He's been busy with stuff lately, but surely he's not seriously banned himself from the RSQ.  That would just be silly.  Besides, this is the perfect one for his return.  None of the rest of us have a fecking clue what answers to give.   rotflmfao

No point - this QM is liable to change the questions again at any time.

I can't enter. The questions are far too specialist imo. Let's bring back the old question by question review:


So i'd say strip questions 6/7/9/14 and you've got a more manageable 11 question quiz where people can be confident about entering. Question 2 i'm not sure about, but for others Question 8 will be a struggle. Keep the 2 passes though and it's fine :)

Are these REALLY the questions?

Can you answer them?  If so, you're sure to win.  If not, make him change the lot because we're all screwed. 

Why would that be fine? There's already a football quiz on Blonde for the footballphiles. I only know the two most famous ones and the one who's always in trouble. And there's an Italian whose name might come to me. Choice of 3.

Far too niche.

I can just about, but Ben, from Stoke, makes the mistake of assuming that everyone is knowledgeable about things local  to him like Staffordshire, the M6

The two poker questions are very tough.

Ben's a good lad though. Unlike that MintTrav QM, who would not spot an Immortal Jellyfish if it swam alongside him and said boo.

Giving something a name doesn't make it so. A slow worm isn't slow. Or a worm. Anteaters don't eat ants. Immortal Jellyfish aren't made of jelly, they're not fish and, most of all, they ain't ifeckingmortal.

Nah, that's fine. At the end of the day certain topics just aren't your thing. But as long as the question is general enough people can give an answer then it's ok. So as you say, there's 3 you can choose from, or pass. If the question was say "Name someone who has managed Charlton in the last 20 years" then by all means complain.

They can live for 100 years tho.

Given the grief that Sweetman's taking already, it was probably a wise decision to disallow it, MintTrav, so thanks :)

No chance, I know that one. In fact, I can think of two, both with the same first name. Is that going to be one of the questions?

This is bollocks.

Basically people aren't happy because they don't know the answers.

Can't believe I'm being criticised for having two poker questions in a quiz on a poker forum.

The questions arent being changed again. Because no matter what I do. Someone will pop up and say
"I don't know the answer to question 3. Can you change it to something I know the answer to"

You're all in the same boat people. Use your passes wisely.







tighty - I live in Stone ;)

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 ;yippee; ;applause; ;yippee;  Not even reveal night yet and we've managed to push QM over the edge!!!  Well done Lads!   rotflmfao

Lol I reckon that sweatman is about to blow

Question 6 is terrible. Everyone knows there is only one species of penguin and all the rest are cheap imitation rip off copies.
Nestlé penguin is the only correct answer

Question 15 is a bit sexist too. How are women gonna grow beards like that in a week?

I'm not even close to perspiring yet...

a strategic pass here and there, a few moments thought here and there, a risk here and there, and I am in

Quiz is fine. Harder than the last couple but fine.

Probably less likely that I'll be trying to find clever wordplay answers (I reckon Eritrea for Name a country that is in Central America would have caused a riot) so that could be considered a good thing for those who want to finish the same day as the reveal starts.

It's his predictive text, Ben. He's been writing a script for a new superhero.

I'm definitely joining in too.  Might go for highest ever score in a RSQ while I'm at it.

Questions look fine to me.

Aiming for another second place finish

Tactical passing FTW

some having my back you nearly got pregnacy through as a std and i would of had to run it this week

Is sending in a set of answers a prerequisite to being able to join in the farce of a reveal?

Of course!  Can't take the piss if ya haven't taken the quiz.

Abuse is welcome from any quarter.

Looks like Tightend is back so someone has to give him a run for his money.

In, with the worst set of answers I've ever submitted.
Thankfully I'm away for the reveal. I predict carnage. Have fun people!

+1


Questions absolutely fine imo with 2 passes.

Not criticising the questions BTW, just my pathetic answers! ;ashamed;

You have no idea how much this comment is appreciated

I like questions about animals.

Bring on the penguins!

(http://petcaretips.net/toy_penguin.jpg)

ok i have sent in my answers is it bad that i am a mod/admin on the greatest poker forum in europe and i hadnt a clue on either of the poker questions and had to put in random wrong answers and i already used my passes?

Not at all. They were just fanboy questions. I'm sure you'd have been fine if he had actually asked questions about poker.

Beside Kinboshi,tighty and Ironside, is anyone else cheating?

i wish i cheated i might be able to win one of these

In, but with an horrendous set of answers..... it looked easier before I sat down to answer!

8 entries so far, just under 1 day to get your answers in.

10am tomorrow morning is the deadline.

thought I sent one over the weekend.
Did you not get it?

Yeah I got it dude, sorry just realised I forgot to put your name on the "entries received" list.

Will send a set of "answers" in later. 

Am not expecting glorious march to triumph. Maybe a begrudging saunter to mediocrity.

In.

Likely to be less dramatic this time, I'm afraid.

Boring boring Tal

Will be doing the reveal at 7pm guys.

Only 10 people involved so it shouldn't drag on like last weeks reveal.

have i won yet?

i thought the reveals were Thursdays :(

I missed the deadline too   :(

Might object to fails for everyone else, just to kill time and keep him on his toes.

Sorry folks, I did put the date and time in this thread

Okay,

Question 1.

1) Name a current Premier league football manager.

You could have had:
Sir Alex Ferguson
David Moyes
Roberto Martinez
Roberto Dimatteo
Roberto Mancini
Steve Clarke
Brendan Rodgers
Paul Lambert
Nigel Adkins
Tony Pulis
Sam Allardyce
Chris Hughton
Andre Villa Boas
Arsene Wenger
Martin Jol
Michael Laudrup
Alan Pardew
Martin O'Neill
Mark Hughes
Brian Mcdermott

Answers received:

D Morgan: Andre Villas Boas 2 points
Skippy: Alex Ferguson 1 point
Tighty: Martin Jol 1 point
Mint Trav: Harry Redknapp incorrect 7 points
Redsgirl: Arsene Wenger 1 point
Ironside: neil atkins* incorrect 7 points
rfgqqabc: Tony Pulis 1 point
AdamM: Alan Pardew 1 point
ruud: Steve Clarke 1 point
Tal: Andre Villas-Boas 2 points

*Ironside is a moron

WTF! When did Redknapp stop being a manager? Nobody tells me anything.

Was sacked in June mate, replaced by AVB

Objection

Neil Atkins isn't a premiership manager

You're right - I just Googled it. I never knew that. I bloody knew Wenger and Ferguson as well. Can I have one of them?

I know but he obviously knew the guy, just couldnt spell it correctly.

To be fair though Nigel Adkins is easier to spell than Andre Villa Boas lol

He isn't attached to a particular Premiership club at present, but no doubt he will be again soon. He is still a Premiership manager.

He isnt a "current" premiership which was stated in the question.....

Evening all.

MintTrav, behave! Harry stopped being a premiership manager the second Capello left.

Question 2.

2) A TV comedy series starring both Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer.


I would have accepted the following:

The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer
Bang Bang its Reeves & Mortimer
Shooting Stars
Families at War
Monkey Trousers
Randall & Hopkirk (deceased)
Catterick
Luck Sexy Winners

Answers:
D Morgan: Pass 0 points
Skippy: Catterick 1 point
Tighty: Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) 2 points
Mint Trav: Pass 0 points
Redsgirl: Reeves and Mortimer* incorrect 7 points
Ironside: The smell of reeves and mortimer 2 points
rfgqqabc: Pass 0 points
AdamM: The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer 2 points
ruud: Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) 2 points
Tal: Bang Bang It’s Reeves and Mortimer 1 point

*Unfortunately Redsgirl, just stating their surnames isn't enough to get you a correct answer.

QM, Lucky Sexy Winners was a one-off/pilot so good job no one said that cos that would be an objection.

Doing well tho, chief. Could have this wrapped up for 8 ;)

Oh yeah good point!!

Moving onto question 3.

Need to read op. missed deadline now missing the reveal while putting the kids to bed :(

Looks like you've got plenty of time.

Questions 3) name a root vegetable:

D Morgan: Radish 2 points
Skippy: Parsnip 1 point
Tighty: Yam 1 point
Mint Trav: Beet 1 point
Redsgirl: Radish 2 points
Ironside: tattie 1 point
rfgqqabc: Swede 1 point
AdamM: Carrot 2 points
ruud: Turnip 1 point
Tal: Carrot 2 points

Any objections?

I'm good

Edit: as in, I have no objections. It wasn't an egotistical ejaculation.

Was Randall & Hopkirk (deceased) a comedy?

I can't remember laughing when I watched it

Think the term is "light hearted detective drama"

it stands.

I did check this when I saw it as an answer. The reboot was written by Charlie Higson and was more comedic. It is listed as a comedy, apparently.

TBF Reeves and Mortimer either produce genius or awful. Granted, much more the former than the latter.

4) An ingredient in Hollandaise Sauce.

D Morgan: Egg Yolk 1 point
Skippy: Oil* 1 point
Tighty: Lemon Juice 1 point
Mint Trav: Water 1 point
Redsgirl: Vinegar 1 point
Ironside: pass 0 points
rfgqqabc: Cream* 1 point
AdamM: parsley incorrect 6 points
ruud: pass 0 points
Tal: Pass 0 points

*never seen cream or oil used to make hollandaise, but the internet shows that it can be so Ill accept.
The only reason youd have parsley in hollandaise would be if you were making a herby hollandaise. Sorry AdamM.

Question 5) A country that shares a border with Luxembourg.

you had four options:
France
Germany
Belguim
pass

As I thought, lots of tactical passing here, but more lumping on the outsider "Belguim"

D Morgan:Belgium 5 points
Skippy: Pass 0 points
Tighty: Pass 0 points
Mint Trav: Germany 2 points
Redsgirl: Belgium 5 points
Ironside: Belgium 5 points
rfgqqabc: Belgium 5 points
AdamM: Belgium 5 points
ruud: pass 0 points
Tal: Germany 2 points

Cant believe no-one put France!!

Outsider? Belgium is the obvious one.

Was going to guess at egg for 4 but I have genuinely no idea on cooking, to my shame.

Totals update, s'il vous plaît

I would have though france was the obvious one, or Germany. I suppose its subjective.

Anyway, moving on.........

Question 6) A species of penguin.

17 species of penguin, very impressed with galapagos and humboldt, neither of which I knew.

answers:

D Morgan: Rockhopper 2 points
Skippy: Emperor Penguin 2 points
Tighty: Gentoo 1 point
Mint Trav: pass 0 points
Redsgirl: Humbolt 1 point
Ironside: chocolate incorrect 7 points
rfgqqabc: King Penguin 1 point
AdamM: Emperor 2 points
ruud: rockhopper 2 points
Tal: Galapagos 1 point

What are the scores? Obviously I was last after the Redknapp fiasco, but I've pulled a few points back since. Prob still trailing, but catching up.

It's not subjective at all - Luxembourg has numerous links with Belgium; much more than with Germany or France. You have heard of Benelux, I suppose?

After 6 questions, we have a 3-way tie :

Skippy: 6 points
Tighty: 6 points
ruud: 6 points
Tal: 8 points
rfgqqabc: 9 points
Mint Trav: 11 points
D Morgan: 12 points
Ironside: 16 points
Redsgirl: 17 points
AdamM:18 points

Humboldt named after the explorer, I suppose? South American jobbie?

No, but Ive never suffered with high cholesterol

Apparently it's named after the stretch of water it frequents...which is named after the explorer.

Note to self: check wiki beforehand!

Awwwwwww

Put the Hollandaise Sauce away.

Question 7) A poker player with two thirds of a triple crown
(ie has won exactly two of the three main accolades in tournament poker, WPT title, WSOP bracelet, EPT title).

answers:

D Morgan: James Dempsey 1 point
Skippy: Antonio Esfandiari 1 point
Tighty: Pass 0 points
Mint Trav: Jake Cody "incorrect he has won all three" 6 points
Redsgirl: Pass 0 points
Ironside: Tony Kendall incorrect 6 points
rfgqqabc: Phil Ivey 1 point
AdamM: Pass 0 points
ruud: Doyle Brunson 1 point
Tal: Pass 0 points

Know any jokes, Tal?

Gonna be a real low scorer tonight!

What's going on?

I logged in expecting to have missed the first couple of questions, and I've missed the first half of the quiz?

Heard a Jimmy Saville one at work today.

Funnily enough, won't be repeating it on the forum

No Laxie, no smashedagain, no need for objections.

have just trawled through. Did we start early?

Have realised I am actually doing quite well, so will stop whinging now.

Woile yow'm way-tin:

nice answers guys....
 

No one picked the Yankees.

Maybe the strategy isn't to worry about thinking of a non-obvious answer!

Totally fluked this cos saw a guy on WSOP 2011 the other day wearing a Giants shirt, and they said they won the World Series the year before.

I literally only know anything about NFL (which I'm pretty strong on). The other 3 of the Big 4, I am oblivious.

Can name some teams, but as for understanding the sports..... nope

Can't say the same for the question. With so many options, it's surprising there were any duplications.

Follow NFL more than the others but used to be a decent follower of MLB at uni, as there were a few huge fans there. One had all the Marlins games on and another was friends with the daughter of the owner of the Yankees, if that makes sense.

Watch a bit of NBA but can't get into ice hockey one bit. Met an avid Rangers fan in Vegas and made him quite annoyed when I told him it's barely a sport. He was less happy when I said having a bloke whose only job it is to fight others implies that the others are a bunch of girls. I then showed him the clip of Chris Ashton taking that hit from Manu Tuilagi.

True story

MintTrav tries to exact revenge for having been the victim of so much abuse last week.

MLB is just rounders for boys. NHL is ridiculous, though there have been a few footballers with the pure job of fighting others.

Vinnie Jones anyone?

Love the baseball, really like the basketball, really want to get into the football, but cant even see the puck in the hockey when they play so dont think Ill have much chance of getting into it!!

Question 9) A county that borders Staffordshire.

He is a man of many talents, that Vinny:

wait i want to object

i see chocolate penguins in the shops every day i go

and tikay is the poker god you cant fail him

man this reveal is too quick tonight makes up for last week i suppose

Sadly, Skippy and I had the same answer, so we're 2 points

LOL, yeah good point. I'm right though. You also don't want questions with three possible answers, which we've also had tonight.

Ruud, I made this point at the bottom of page 9...

...using just a few lines.

loads are answers are ok if more people enter


plus whats happening with my 2 fails i am assuming they have been corrected

This quiz is so smooth a puppy would oversteer horribly when trying to change direction on it.

There's a scoreboard?

3 answers, tactical passing, or assume that everyone else will pass the question with three answers, and go for it.  France would've aced that question.....

Question 10) A species of bear.

The Black Bear
The Brown Bear (will accept Grizzly or Kodiak too)
The Polar Bear
The Asiatic Black Bear
The Sloth Bear
The Spectacled Bear
The Sun Bear
The Giant Panda Bear

D Morgan: Black Bear 1 point
Skippy: Brown bear 2 points
Tighty: Giant Panda 3 points
Mint Trav: Giant Panda 3 point
Redsgirl: Honey Badger incorrect 8 points
Ironside: teddy incorrect 8 points
rfgqqabc: Brown 2 points
AdamM: Polar 1 point
ruud: Spectacled 1 point
Tal: Giant Panda 3 points

Ah the spectacled bear, my favourite of all bears.......

how can you fail chocolate penguin tikay and teddy bear?

(http://www.shof.msrcsites.co.uk/wc1.jpg)

Where's the scores?

@Tighty and MintTrav, you could t have gone one further for Red Panda, could you? Admittedly, it would have been wrong, but disappointed that I've sheeped this Q

chocolate may be a "type" of penguin, but it is not a "species", the same applies for teddy is a "type" of bear not a "species"

As far as I'm aware tikay AKA Tony Kendall has not won a WSOP bracelet, EPT or WPT title.

your research is so biased

He's right, Sweetman. You can use "facts" to prove anything that's even remotely true.

I was present at the last reveal, and thus made sure my questions were as watertight as can be, hence the use of the word "species"
Still struggling to see how you thought Tikay had 2/3 of a triple crown.

yeah there was me throwing last weeks quiz so you could have the honour of winning and you treat me like someone would treat tighty or kinboshi

In the words of Laxie,  rotflmfao

he is old enough to have won them before records were created back in 1666

heres the scores on the doors.......

Tighty in the lead, all top 6 have a fighting chance though.

Tighty: 11 points
ruud: 12 points

On account of it not being a bear, you mean? Did Tal say Giant Panda? If he just said Panda, that is wrong, cos it isn't specific enough, as he has demonstrated himself.

HOLLLLD!

I said Giant Panda.

Fine pedantry but superfluous on this occasion

Round of applause, a complete ace across the board!!

Same middle name.

is the QM just ignoring all objections?


what sort of FARCE are you running?

That and the horrific human rights record.

Everybody gets an ace = farce.

Other questions great, mind.

QM should be take to the hauge for his abuses of human rights and ignoring our rights to apeal the RSQ

Well obviously the horrific human rights record. Goes without saying, the horrific human rights record.

Ive handled your objections.

What have I missed?

neil aktins??????????? i am a saints fan and you passed that????????????

The quiz - wish I missed that.

He's right. He's wrong.

How was i to know you were a Saints fan? I assumed by the countless spelling mistakes throughout your other entries that you must be dyslexic and thought Id give you the benefit of the doubt on that question.  Oh well, if you want to be failed, a fail it is.

ok now you you have failed my wrong answer can you pass my correct answer?

Meanwhile, feckin Waterloo, Fernando, Money Money Money & Voulez Vous all get Aces. Crazy game.

Well done Ruud

Well done Sweetman, very efficient and fair.

Looking forward to Ruud's quiz. Unlucky lad.

Nice one, Tom. Thanks for organising

unlucky ruud questions by midnight please

oh dear, oh dear, oh dear

is that one of the questions?

Thanks buddy, fairness and efficiency I can do. Easy RSQ questions; I apparently struggle with.

Easy RSQ questions you're fine on.

Just bone up on semi-colon usage.

Second, as we know, is the real first.

Well done all.

Sooooo many objection opportunities lost here tonight.  Disappointed with the lot of ya! 

wp Ruud,  gl with the next lot

Thanks Sweetman for running this one

Thanks guys,

questions up on the new thread. I have given it til Monday so hopefully we get a few more bodies this time around

2 passes? Mbn

Us grasshoppers need a couple of passes to be able to contend with tighty :(

Missed this reveal, obviously - but thought I'd highlight a key point that MintTravesty sort of missed and has since been magnified by the subsequent QMs.

This isn't a standard quiz, where you're rewarded for knowing more answers than other people taking part.

It's a RSQ. The idea is that EVERYONE can provide an answer to EVERY question. The skill is providing a correct answer that others don't. Questions should have at least 10 correct answers (sometimes it can be fewer, but let's use 10 as a guide). Some clever answers will be aces, some will be fails - that's where the gamble comes in. Then there's the aspect of trying to second-guess the other players and what you think they'll answer.

The RSQ isn't meant to be a quiz with ANY questions that people can't answer.  These might well be poker-related questions. You didn't ask people to name a card in a standard deck, or the name of a seat at the table (which everyone on here could answer), instead you assumed that people actually follow live poker as much as you do, and as you're probably aware now, that isn't the case.

In all fairness Kin I thought the idea of the RSQ quiz was ACTUALLY setting the questions when you have been the previous WINNER!! to my knowledge YOU won TWO quizes and then FAILED  ;)

zzzingggggggg

Kin - which question(s) do you think people would struggle to provide an answer to? I just went back over my quiz and I cannot see a single question that anyone could not provide an answer for, with the possible exception of naming a character in the Bash Street Kids, and then only if they did not grow up in this country.

1, 2, 9 & 14 were a problem for me.  Might have come up with answers if I'd thought long and hard about them, but doubt they'd have been correct.

They were definitely more difficult than usual and this provides a big incentive for people to just google questions that they can't think of an answer for because the scoring system kills you for an incorrect answer.

Personally I quite like the tough questions cos it gives everyone a chance to learn some interesting stuff but really the game should be about how good you are at identifying what others would answer rather than finding a correct answer yourself. When there are only a few possible answers, people have a big incentive to google rather than give the only answer that they can think of which seems a lock to be the sheep answer.

I did not think you was allowed to google.

Only moderators and sharplea are allowed to google.

Dan wins the internet.
