Title: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Jeeves on March 04, 2014, 10:18:33 AM Good morning
Reticent as I am it falls to me to defend the honour of a damsel in distress, who does not wish to set an RSQ. I blame her parents. No backbone, children these days I was one of four joint winners. I doubt my former employer, and joint winner last time, would be capable. Too busy polishing his contribution to British Poker award. Notice the power behind the throne received no such award. Twas ever thus. No one wants Mr Daniel Lyndsey-Phillips to set another one either So here I am. I have taken a day off next Monday from my current employ, with a Mr Ulliott of Humberside The Quiz will be Monday 10th March at 8pm. Answers PMed to me by midday Monday 10th March. 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, except for Question one where scoring is as described. Lowest score wins. Using Google, wiki, or other research is not allowed. You may choose to pass up to two questions and will receive 0 points for that question. 1. Mr David Ulliott travels from Hull to DTD and back for a festival of poker. He travels by Hummer. According to the man himself, it uses a tank of petrol on the return journey. How much does it cost him (or his manservant who stands at the pump for hours while it dispenses) to fill up said Hummer? (Points for this question. Within £10 of the actual total = 0, Within £20 = 2 points, Within £40 = 4 points, Within £60 = 8 points. Outside £60 = Number of entries plus 5) 2. Name a TV or Film in which Stephen (passable imitation of Jeeves) Fry has received an acting credit. Not a presenting credit, an acting credit 3. Give a Forename that can be used by either a Male or a Female (if I am in doubt, you will be required to provide search engine evidence of the name in male and female use) 4. Give the name of a butler in TV, film or book fiction 5. Give the title of a domestic service position as shown in either/or Upstairs Downstairs or Downton Abbey. The employment position has to appear in one of those two programmes. We all know testicle fluffers exist, but not for this answer please 6. Give the name of a country which was an Allied Power during World War One, as described by wikipedia 7. Shown below are Six famous English Stately homes. Name one (Answers should be in the form of 7a=tikay's house, for example) A (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/Blenheim_engraving.jpg) B (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/WoburnAbbey01.JPG/800px-WoburnAbbey01.JPG) C (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Longleat_House%2C_Warminster_-_geograph.org.uk_-_256190.jpg) D (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Balmoral_Castle.jpg/1280px-Balmoral_Castle.jpg) E (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Chatsworth_from_Morris%27s_Seats_of_Noblemen_and_Gentlemen_%281880%29.JPG/800px-Chatsworth_from_Morris%27s_Seats_of_Noblemen_and_Gentlemen_%281880%29.JPG) F (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/England1_144.jpg/800px-England1_144.jpg) 8 Give the name of a person who is or has been a Spouse to the heir to the British Throne in the last 100 years 9 Name a London Landmark that can be found on or beside the London Marathon course (has to be visible on close up TV coverage and not via helicopter only) 10 Internet search engine Ask Jeeves compiled what it called a top 10 of "unanswerables" in the past decade, in 2010. The list is based on some 1.1 billion queries made on the site since its launch in 2000. There are 11 Questions below, Name the one that is not in the 10 unanswerables a. What is the meaning of life? b. Is there a God? c. Do blondes have more fun? d. What is the best diet? e. Is there anybody out there? f. Who is the most famous person in the world? g. What is love? h. What is the secret to happiness? i. Did Tony Soprano die? j. How long will I live? k. Is there an afterlife? Points: Normal scoring AND -10 points for getting the correct answer Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Longines on March 04, 2014, 10:41:27 AM Farcetastic questions. In.
Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Redsgirl on March 04, 2014, 01:21:06 PM Hurrah! It was worth being branded an invertebrate to get such absolutely spiffing questions!
I will of course enter, only I can't believe I am going to be away for what surely will be one of the greatest reveals in RSQ history. :'( I will try to view on my crappy phone but probably only as a guest, so I will be objecting using mind power alone. If you feel the beginnings of a migraine come reveal night Jeeves, you know who it is. Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: david3103 on March 04, 2014, 05:01:15 PM From the ridiculous to the sublime
The good news for me is that I have zero chance of winning, will obviously enter though. Well done Jeeves. What Ho! Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: mulhuzz on March 04, 2014, 09:01:44 PM Will punt at this.
Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Redsgirl on March 04, 2014, 09:52:50 PM Hi Jeeves, sorry but I need you to clarify question 8 for me.
What do you mean by heir to the British throne? First in line only? Those that have become King/Queen? Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Tal on March 04, 2014, 10:31:29 PM Hi Jeeves, sorry but I need you to clarify question 8 for me. What do you mean by heir to the British throne? First in line only? Those that have become King/Queen? There is only one heir: the heir apparent; the next in line to the throne at any one time. Going to have to work harder on the objections :) Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: MintTrav on March 05, 2014, 12:23:47 AM Hi Jeeves, sorry but I need you to clarify question 8 for me. What do you mean by heir to the British throne? First in line only? Those that have become King/Queen? There is only one heir: the heir apparent; the next in line to the throne at any one time. Going to have to work harder on the objections :) That's partly correct - there is only one heir at a time, but you don't have to be heir apparent to be first in line. For example, the current Queen was never heir apparent.

This is me working on my objections Tal, only I like to be sure what I'm objecting to. ;) Thanks MintTrav, that's why I was wondering, because the heir apparent apparently doesn't always make it to the throne. :) Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Ironside on March 06, 2014, 07:35:56 PM too much thinking for me

Would need about 5 passes, being very poor at History and general butler related tomfoolery. Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Redsgirl on March 08, 2014, 11:10:20 AM In.
Any chance of an entry list when you've done buttling for the day? Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: tikay on March 08, 2014, 11:32:18 AM Looks a bit hard to me, so I've asked Jeeves to do it for me, as per. He's very good at these, so I should win. Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Jeeves on March 08, 2014, 01:51:00 PM There are a mere 7 entrants so far
Longines acidmouse tomsom sharplea dwh103 david3103 redsgirl Clearly my areas of sepcialism, borne of 40 years dedicated service to the landed gentry are too eclectic for the hoi-polloi.

Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: MintTrav on March 08, 2014, 02:45:33 PM I'm in the "too hard" or probably "too specialised" rump. Actually, I'm okay with seven of the questions, but there are three that are difficult for me. I was going to say something about them, but identifying which ones I won't be answering is probably against the rules. I imagine it's obvious which ones they are, anyway. I will be entering, though.
I might abandon and set a "Name a colour" type quiz instead. I'll be in for that.Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Jeeves on March 09, 2014, 11:33:53 AM I think I will abandon this. Wth only 9 entries, it hasn't been popular
I will do a starter version in a few days. "name a fruit" etc Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: tikay on March 09, 2014, 11:54:02 AM I think I will abandon this.

Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: MintTrav on March 09, 2014, 11:56:10 AM Keep going. Just sent my answers.
Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: david3103 on March 09, 2014, 01:39:48 PM I think I will abandon this. Wth only 9 entries, it hasn't been popular I will do a starter version in a few days. "name a fruit" etc stick with it IMO a winner will emerge and whoever that is can set a fresh one asking for colours fruits and numbers between 55 and 66 or some other format harder or easier than this or that Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: theprawnidentity on March 09, 2014, 03:48:57 PM Yeh please stick with it. I might actually have a chance of winning!!!!
Actually, just checked my outbox... As you were. Title: Re: Jeeves, at your service with an RSQ Post by: Jeeves on March 10, 2014, 01:06:02 PM The Quiz will be Monday 10th March at 8pm. Answers PMed to me by midday Monday 10th March.
