What-ho!

It’s my turn again to do a quiz, so I’m reverting to a good old-fashioned RSQ – a reverse sheep quiz, where you want to make the lowest total you can. As my truest love is language (numbers are my filthy mistress) and as there is a lot of fun on these boards around the TV show Countdown, I thought I might combine the two.

I recognise there’s a fairly wide range of word-tinkerers who might want to play, so rather than making this a Stato1 procession, I’ve levelled the playing field a little. You get 11 rounds and all are letters rounds. You are looking for words no one else comes up with (hence the RSQ element) and score points depending on how many people submit the same answer. You are looking to score 1, on the basis that each answer you give is unique.

So that it isn’t completely silly, you must give me an answer for each that is AT LEAST FIVE LETTERS LONG. Anything of 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 letters in length will be lovely. The word must be in the Oxford Dictionary of English but you don’t have to give me the definition.

There is a 9 letter answer for each, but if you’re not a cleverclogs and you don’t see it, you aren’t going to be penalised. This should be a low-scoring game, as there are loads of acceptable answers for each round.

I’m awarding a bonus -1 point if you can give me a word of a number of letters no one else has submitted. In other words, if you give a 6 letter word for number 1 and no one else gives a 6 letter word for that answer, you can take a point off for being a hero.

This doesn’t just reward braniacs or people with countdown apps (or whatever), you are rewarded for second-guessing the oppo...or just getting lucky.

Here are the headlines:  

 
Reverse Sheep Quiz

One word for each of at least 5 letters

Points are awarded according to how many people choose that word (so 1 if it’s just you)

Bonus -1 for unique length of word

If you give an incorrect answer, you get the highest score for that round plus 5.

Answers to be submitted by PM to me by 7pm on Sunday 10 February.

Like it. Will be in when i'm back on English spellcheck ;)

so very very thin, unashamedly so!

Let me do this in yoof-forum-speak:

[ x ] I've hosted more than one quiz
[    ] I've won more than one quiz

in

extra points for solving an anagram and giving a unique answer please

ie I provide

the nine letter solution and a second word?

I considered this, but I'm keeping the RSQ flavour strong and so it is as per OP.

is googling allowed or reading a dictionary?

Stato completes all 11 conundrums in 31.2 seconds. Took me longer but have now got em all.
 Pretty annoyed about 5 being the min length, I know some corking 4 letter words.

Googling, apterus-checking, dictionary eating and stato-begging are all discouraged.

It serves relatively little advatantage anyway. I remember an RSQ question of "Name a male winner of a tennis major singles event in the last ten years" and no one said Roger Federer.

It isn't just about finding obscure answers.

Smashedagain, 31.2 seconds? I'm taking the under.

Took me a while but I got there in the end.

Excellent quiz idea, I'll be in

Stephen Fry there, being, well, Stephen Fry as we now know him

Hataz gotta hate

Not at all - although my love for him has diminished the closer he has come to fulfilling the prophecy of that video

Foog

:)

In.

In

In

In :)

Only 12 entrants so far.

Sad face.

The quiz will work much better with bigger numbers, he says masochistically...

Plenty of words submitted already I've never heard of. Will be doing my best Suzie Dent Mark Nyman impression to ensure they're allowed :)

Pass on the [hideous pun] word [/hideous pun] that the quiz bus is in town and get some others on board.

Hi Spurs Bloke,

I WILL be entering, I just have not got round to it yet.

I'm almost certain I will get one that nobody else does. Probably. Maybe.

I'll spam it on TfT, too.

Thank you. Some of the word games only have a dozen or so answers but most are north of 25, so the more the merrier.

Bit late now but might have been a tad more appealing with less questions. I'm not particularly good at the letters part of countdown so I found it hard work getting through all 11 lol

Eh?  It's not that tough!  Answering your RSQs is vastly more taxing.

If it was 11 of the Numbers Game I'd have been fine!

I did manage to find one of the 9 letter words at least - though I suspect it was the easiest one...

You do not NEED to find 9 letter words.

I’m awarding a bonus -1 point if you can give me a word of a number of letters no one else has submitted. In other words, if you give a 6 letter word for number 1 and no one else gives a 6 letter word for that answer, you can take a point off for being a hero.

And you're getting points for how many people picked the word, whatever its length.

have submitted some answers not my area of expertise at all.

Yeah, I know you don't need to find the 9 letter words. All I was saying is having been told they were there I'm happy I at least managed to find one of them :)

yeah that was the easiest one

+1

Reading some of your answers so far has been like watching Stanley Unwin.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDUCYLZhP58

I'm only good at the numbers game.

Just answer questions one to eleven then.

Keep the answers coming, boys and girls.

16 is too easy for me to organise.

You should have to organise it all on tikay's ippy.

What? The perfectly functioning, bang up-to-date ippy?

;)

Less winking; more answering and spamming, please

Whooops! Forgot.

Spammage done now, & will send my answers in over the weekend.

Mini-bump.

You only have until 7pm tomorrow to get your answers in. This is a quiz so simple even the Prince Regent can play.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOSYiT2iG08

Every single one, sir?

in

Two hours, guys and gals.

I'm just going to the gym and, next time I log on, the portcullis will be down, the drawbridge up and Castle RSQ closed for visitors.

Knew I should have stuck with 'herses'.

Tal forgive me if I've missed it in the OP but when is the reveal please?

Hello

Thank you for the ever so polite reminder :)

Am hopeful of doing it tonight but depends when I get back from work. Would be 9 or a little later if so. Otherwise, will be tomorrow at about 9.

Will post here later to confirm

9 O'clock for a reveal on a school night? Bajeezus.

How many 8pm reveals are attended by one man and his dog, followed by a slew of "I forgot it was tonight", "Just catching up" and "Why is nobody here?" posts?

Over or under - all of them?

 ;sleep;

I'm going for a hat trick of missed reveals on the trott. Unbelievable seeing as I'm on here about 19/7

Sigh, sorry Tal, I clean forgot to send my Entry, had a bit of a difficult weekend & it slipped my mind.

I'm sure it will be a success of spiffing magnitude though.

Genuinely sorry, all, but I am going to have to postpone the reveal until tomorrow. Have yet to do all the marking/number crunching and I'm not daft enough to do it on the fly.

Will be tomorrow night, as close to 9 as I can.

Farce.

So what entertainment you providing tonight instead ?

http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=8837

How about three very complicated chess puzzles, a story about a problem-solving championship and some amazing astronomical pictures?

(http://www.chessbase.com/news/2013/nunn01c-astronomy.jpg)

Colliding galaxies, anyone?

Or how about a massive nebula, created by a supernova a long time ago, that's about 5,000 light years away? It's called the Jellyfish Nebula if that helps?

(http://www.chessbase.com/news/2013/astronomy01.jpg)

"Some solvers brought multiple chess sets to use during the competition"

Typical chess groupie?

Problem solvers are their own breed

Since the reveal's going back, will you take a late entry. No worries if not

OK. In by midnight?

Same for everyone yet to play, BTW.

Looking forward to this

I think I will win

Only 55 minutes to go

Umm, the thing is.........errr........Tal needs a word about that.

Mischievous lot ::)

Farce

Pleased it is postponed or I would have missed it again. Great work Tal

Lol@boshi going back and editing his own "farc" post

Fair to say this is going to be messy. Seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Quite frankly, unmissable. I mean, not literally, obviously, but figuratively for sure.

06:50 am here have to say massively shocked/disappointed that the reveal didn't take place  ;)

Never mind.

yeah I tried to change it to FART but failed in the upside down writing. Must be a mod privaledge

are you not a mod Jase?

That is tilting beyond belief.

Get that "e" upside down!!

Jeez, just remembered, I promised to enter this last night.

Sorry Mr Tal.

I'm sensing a pattern :)

No problem. Will just continue to talk artsy nonsense on TfT by way of reciprocation.

not on here mate :)

No pattern, just not enough hours in the bloody day & total lack of organisation.

I was up at 5am yesterday, & apart from 6 hours in the car, I never stopped doing stuff for a single minute. And I still left a bunch of stuff on the "to-do" list. Today, I think I will need to spend 4 hours catching up on PM's. I enjoy everything I do, but this 24 hours in a day malarky, & the need to sleep, is all wrong. 

I've spent the last couple of pages implying I've got a lot of other stuff on and that this has dropped a little on the list of priorities, so I can only imagine where a quiz features on your list. Really not a problem in the slightest, Tikay. If no one entered, I might be more inclined to reflect!

It's going to be fun enough when I start announcing that some answers aren't in the particular dictionary being used for this quiz without attacking those who didn't or couldn't take part.

This seemed like such a straightforward, convivial idea...

cant wait. Über smart quizmaster shooting down the usual suspects with their anal answers :)

9pm, lexicographers, logophiles and, if we must, cunning linguists.

Be there or be SRAQUE.

LANGUAGE, n. The music with which we charm the serpents guarding another's treasure



Is there anything more beautiful than this definition by Ambrose Bierce in his Devil's Dictionary?

Find out at 9.

farce  
/färs/
Noun
1. A comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.
2. The genre of such works.

so is your face

and so it begins ...

The ghost of Oscar Wilde sits quietly weeping in the corner

Yours is a tragedy.

Your quoting skills got nuff dented, bruv!

Changed my mind. It's a tragicomedy.

Have I won yet?

Not long to go, chaps and chappesses.

I have just enough time to think of a witty introduction.


Granted, I'm not going to use that time to do that...

'Sup, peeps?

And, with those words, time's wingèd chariot hurries near and so begins the RSQ version of Countdown's letters game.

In the words of Andrew Marvell, Where my 9 o'clock crew at?

:hello:

:hello: :hello

Goodly goodlington.

Let's start with one piece of housekeeping.

As discussed previously, there is going to be an objection or two floating around tonight. The prime source of these will be words you have heard and used before not being in the dictionary on which this RSQ is based.

So, here is my rule:

If you want to tell me a word is not wrong and that you were brilliant in picking it, you need to post a link to the Oxford Dictionary of English entry from the website.

Like so:

http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/farce?q=farce

The Oxfrord US English dictionary, the Oxford French dictionary, the Collins Dictionary, the George Foreman Grill Manual will not count for tuppence.

Proper dictionary. The OED for the OCD.

I'm here on time one time

Remember the rules are:

1. You score a point for every person who chose your word
2. If you choose a word with a number of letters no one else picked, you get a -1 bonus
3. If you get one wrong, you get the most common (sheep) score plus a penalty 5 points.


Further adolessly, we begin - as if to defy convention - with Round 1.


Round 1 - PETERPAUL

My keyboard won't accept Oxford as a real place. I have to assure it manually* that I'm not switching blues.



*not a euphemism

Near Branbury.

Oh come on, scrabble and upwords accept upleapt!!!

So, round one scores (won't be doing this every time, but just so you can get a feel for the scoring system):

That's Tighty out of the running just Kinboshi to sink and we have a new quiz winner

lol, feel bad for Rich tho, the rules were so unclear

MintTrav locks up the first -1 bonus. Would have been useful, were it not for the 8 points from round 1.

wtf cf, why I oughtta....

Anyone spotting a bobAlike/MPOWER study session?

yeah what a waste. Already resigned to the fact I ain't getting a bonus going for 5 letter words. Thought everyone would be showing off with them big words :(

Geo starts his quest for RSQ domination after a generous offering of a head start.

3 people went for Orchestra; no one went for Carthorse.

 

Oh man, shoulda checked the OED

Wtcompletef

What*????????? Ochre is the colour yellow. Yellows are ochres. Disgraceful.

I thought it was an impressive knowledge of Greek philosophy, nirvana.

http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/ochre?q=ochre

By all means, convince me otherwise.

It is a mass noun, like furniture.

Oh man. Where's the bread bin?

Now, this next one was a closer affair, with fewer acceptable answers, so you all squeezed in a bit:

Round 5 - WONTUDONC
Condo - scotty2hatty

Unwon – Geo the Sarge, MintTrav  (In Collins but not in Oxford Dictionary)

RESIST!

If you can plate something, you can replate it. Now you don't accept unwon - a common word! What kind of kiddies dictionary are you using?

Comes to something when Monda would know more than this Southern poofta dictionary

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chare

Joking aside, I'm happy to go with public opinion on Ochres.

I see it as a mass noun on the entry, but there is some photographic evidence to suggest the contrary.

Views from the baying masses?

I'll go with the vox populari

Oxford sucks!

Does the evidence come from the OED ? Upleap, next !

AND STRIBLING WINS!!!

He's right. By your ludicrous rules its a fail

and to think, I had you down as my protege.

No more.

Distinctly ochre bellied if allowed now

Steward!!

A trasher is a person who trashes things

Lots of different ochres listed here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochre

Well, you can all relax, because we've got those contentious rounds out of the way.

As for ochre(s), the rules were clear with a specific chosen dictionary.

Show me the link to the entry and it's yours. (not like that)

Well done to AdamM for a -1 there, BTW.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Trasher?s=t

FFS, didn't notice you had disallowed roschart as well. That's 3 perfectly good words you have disallowed - replate, unwon & roschart.

Here's an idea if you do this quiz again - next time use a dictionary that has, you know, the words of the English language in it.

That's lovely.

Now one from the Oxford Dictionary of English, as explained at the outset, if you would be so delicious.

I might alienate everyone, but at least we all now hate oxford.

Apart from stato, probably

SOUND THE ALARM!!!!

EVERYBODY WINS ALERT!!!

Estrin is a well known medical term

How can it NOT be in the dictionary you are using?

estrin (es´trin),
n the generic term for the ovarian estrogens estriol, estrone, and estradiol.


Come on Simon, really

Its completely ruining my evenng

Sorry, didn't check that my words were in that dictionary. As I said, I assumed you were using one that had most of the words in the English language in it.

This is just superb, well done Spurs Bloke.

I mean no disrespect, Rich. I would genuinely much rather everyone picked words in the dictionary I selected at the start. I chose the one they use on Countdown, thinking this would be the best way.

I know the term estrin and I know upleapt.

But I set out the rules and, annoyingly, I'm bound to keep to them.

Milligooner should get 50 points for this answer.

I'm off to bed in a minute but look forward to the bit coming up.

Good stuff so far. I always like to picture TightEnd pacing around the room trying not to explode when reading these things :)

MintTrav gets a -1 for being the only person to pick a 7 letter word, the strongest contestant (by virtue of being at the bottom, holding everyone else up) picked exactly the same word as the front-runner and SEVEN - SEVEN - of you chose the same word.

2 rounds to go, so if someone could recommend a good bridge-builder, now would be a great time to speak up

How about another round where everybody managed to find an RSQ-legal word?

Oh go on then.

Hmmmmm

Ah well, losing to stato aint a disgrace. I knocked him out the incredible 100 on Sat so he can have this one!

Tal - great effort. Really enjoyed that. Lets do another one

Good job & thanks

Coming second last is the story of my life

Bravo Tal, that was the greatest ever.


Encore!

There were a few words I'd never heard of and I hope - despite all the animosity - there's been a word or two in there you've learned through this quiz.  

stato_1, a seriously, seriously impressive set of answers.

Worth mentioning that, had JuniorSenior found a -1 instead of the 8, he would have won the quiz. That would have been a terrific coup.


Sorry again, all. It's been a two paracetamol job and almost certainly my last quiz for a fair while.  

Thank you and well done to everyone who took part. I appreciate now would be a good time for me to go away and not come back.

Tal out.

Nice quiz Tal. Come back soon.

Thank you Tal very enjoyable, oh to have been a fly on the wall in the Tighty household  ;)

shame I missed this. do it again sooooon! :)up

I would have been close 2nd if it wasn't for courty. AlthoughiI'm still pretty sure that's a legit word.

Whens Tals ban up? :D

He can return today, but only if he agrees to do another Quiz before the end of February.

Even though I never entered, last night's Reveal was amazing fun.  

Poor Tighty was apoplectic with humpness.

Great stuff Tal.

Ban?

Up?

Sorry, those are not words according to Tal's Abridged Concise Pocket Dictionary.

Top work Tal. Sorry not to tune in but was otherwise engaged. Looked impeccably run throughout and please to see you stuck to your guns on the rules and refused to bend to his Tightness' wishes, even in spite of his giving us all an 8/1 winner. ;)

Pleased to see I made the frame(ish) without ever troubling the winner, surely the best place to be in these things!

Looking forward to Stato's quiz now.

I hope you are only talking RSQ there Tal.

You've not been Online since making that Post, & you are missed already.

Sweet... needed this for morale after my recent televisual defeat. Tal did an awesome job. Tighty showed me his answers at the deepstack after I'd submitted mine and I thought he might be in trouble if you were using the ODE. So naturally I told him instantly so that he would have a chance to change them went straight home. I will get to work on the next one. Not sure what sort of theme were working towards but I'll think of something.

tighty showed you his answers ?

Just catching up, top of the league!

Piss off, was basically going to win. I object.

so fake

lol.

Evening.

All fine. Just had a busy few days so have not been blonding.

Glad you enjoyed it. I agree the concept worked fine, although I hadn't realised how restrictive the ODE is. If we're doing a Countdown RSQ, mind, you have to use the ODE.

No offence taken BTW; all part of the RSQ fun and experience...which stato will discover...if he ever gets round to putting a quiz up...

Ha!

Welcome back Tal, your presence has been much missed.

Now get your arse over to TfT, we have had grammatical terrorists in your absence.

Phew

He's back (was worried I had upset him)

never stopped me posting

It never worked with you.

I hear he had a gagging order..?

oi. Leave it. That's caused me no end of stress today  and the wife is far from happy :(

Fair enough. Webcam photo of you wearing a gag ball appears on the internet. We've all been there.

Oh no, wait...

I don't even want to begin to ask so I'll leave this whole topic well alone.

Sorry I missed this, looks like the best quiz ever :)

xx

And where is the new quiz? :)
