...and here it is, finally.

The Reverse Sheep Quiz

The goal for the participants is to try and think of an answer that they believe no one else will know/submit.

Rules

There are 11 questions, to enter you should PM your answers by Monday 14 April 20:00.  Please put RSQ in the subject line (otherwise you will receive an additional penalty point to your score), and put each answer on a different line (same penalty for ignoring this as well).

Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer. So you want to go for answers that you think will be less commonly given. Levelling commonly happens. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.

You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers. Just read the questions, wrack your brain, think ‘what would Andrew T do’ etc… These aren’t meant to be impossible questions the skill isn’t in thinking of an answer, it’s in thinking up an uncommon answer

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

You MUST pass on one question and score a 0 for that question, and you may not pass the final question.

Objections will be entertained, as long as they're entertaining.  However, my decision will be final.  If there is a tie for the lead after the 11 rounds, then there will be a tie-break question.  This will be given on the evening of the reveal and usually involves the first to reply - so if you want to win the tie-break, best to be there for the reveal.

The date of the reveal will be a day or two after the deadline for entries.  I'll confirm shortly.

Wow,  *g for kinboshi.
Shall be entering as soon as I have time to give the questions the consideration they deserve.

Quiz looks v fun, in.

sent

in

Blimey this is absolutely brilliant!!

If it wasn't for the fear of winning and having to do one myself I'd definitely have a go.

WP Dan  :)up

Just do what I do and botch one up  ;whistle;

Having trouble with 2 down...If I give you the correct answer it doesnt fit the crossword?

;carlocitrone;

Good work Sir. Most definitely in.

Same looks like an error re 2 down

great quiz

love some originality.

Awesome, worth waiting for. In.

That's been sorted a LONG time ago.

Like Spurs, too little and waaaaay too late.

Anyway Tal, get your mid-table entry in and then you can call it a farce!  You have to be in it to diss it.

I see myself as the Wilson to your Tim, offering a helpful word here and there from across the fence.

(http://therearenoroads.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wilsonhome.jpg)

Excellent set of questions. Losing entry sent.

Am I allowed to look at my keyboard for Q6?

dont you dare cheat

In for mid-table obscurity. Not good enough to win, not bad enough to be propping up Ant ( ;) ) would do me just fine.

More fun to just mash one at random ;)

Don't see a rule that says you can't. Hope you have a 'standard' QWERTY keyboard though...

there is a rule no research FARCE already

OBJECTION

This is pretentious.

is that some kind of dinosaur?

In.

The rule states:

"You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers."

Looking at your keyboard is nothing like Google searches.

FARCE

Enter the quiz, then you can call it a farce ;)

In. Now its a FARCE.

20 entries with 90 minutes until the cut-off.

:)up

Twenty it will be.

Interesting that we had some "IN"s in the thread who never bothered to actually enter.

Oh hit completely forgot im guessing this is now closed

I was the opposite :P

IN!

Just popping by to check you haven't done the reveal on your own during the night. I know what you QM's are like.

OK, will extend the deadline for entries until 6pm today. Might get a few more in.

Fml I forgot will get something thrown together when I get home

I said in in thread but forgot. Doing now.

annnnnnd done!

sorry havent had time today

good luck too al in it

Hopefully IN just in time! :)

Quick ironside, don't just look get those answers in!

OK, that's ya lot. A solid dirty two-dozen.

I'm going for a Thursday evening reveal. Shall we say, 20:00 on the 17th.

Be there, or do something else. But there's going to be a little bit of controversy and possibly some arguing, and definitely some farce.

Well I'm here.

Where's everybody else?

You're early.

Actually, there's going to a be a delay.  So the farce has begun.  Will be at 21:00 at the earliest...

Oh excellent. A little Sky at Night before the farce begins then ;)

In fact, if I'm not back home soon then might have to postpone until another night.

I know, farce.

Reveal will be postponed. Hopefully, will be able to do it tomorrow night, but I'm travelling down to Devon so depends on my arrival time.

I'm sure you'll all survive.

(http://cdn.smosh.com/sites/default/files/bloguploads/everyday-emo.jpg)

Most aptly named quiz ever.
At least I won't have to miss it now though. That is, providing he gets it done before Sunday morning.

Waaaaaaaaa, wifi isn't working at the holiday cottage in Devon, and struggling to get a phone signal.

Reveal might have to wait...

I'm sure your GF is devastated by you not be able to do your reveal on the first day of your hols  ::)

We'll live 'til you get back, enjoy!

[ ] gutted I didn't enter
[X] farce

late entries?

Least he could do after ruining everyone's Easter IMO.

Just ban him already and everyone wins.

How's the holiday?

glad i didnt enter this shambles

Champion.

:)up

Is it too late to enter?

No, why the hell not. Let's make the deadline midnight tonight, and the reveal at 8pm tomorrow.

FARCE I love it will enter if I get out of bed

Reveal at 20:00 tonight.  Be there, or be somewhere else.

8pm on a sunday with a special event on stars FARCE

That's why - everyone will be online.  DUCY?

With 38 tables open across 10 sites ducy?

You struggle with one table.  You'll be fine.

T-Minus 15 minutes

In :)

Not in the mood any more.

out shake it all about

i need to go pick up a takeaway (dont deliver here in the sticks)
once i get hold of them i will likely miss the first question or 2

but as i think each question will take about 30 minutes might be back in time for Q2

Is everyone here?

Will give it 5 minutes, and then there might be three of us.

OK, there are more than three of us - we're off!

Question 7

Find a poker-related word or phrase, of 6 letters or more, in the Word Search below (usual word search rules apply)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c17/JCtheMessiah/word-search.png)

I'd fail it for that.  End doesn't have a fixed location on a standard qwerty keyboard. You're lucky there's an 'E' in return and enter.

Tbf, the questions weren't up long enough. Didn't really have time to go through them properly.

There must be a region in Japan that would be a correct answer?

Japan is divided up into Prefectures rather than counties.  I lived in Ibaraki Prefecture for a few years, but wouldn't have accepted it as an answer, although it would have been a bloody good effort.

Never lived in the Netherlands either.

You could have passed, or gone for Nottinghamshire - which would have been an ace.

pot hasnt got 6 letters or more in it

Question 7

Find a poker-related word or phrase, of 6 letters or more, in the Word Search below (usual word search rules apply)

Maybe I need to make it bigger so Redsgirl can see it?

:dontask:

yeah i was going to pass it then forgot i was russian as i was going out last night had a date with some strippers and some ladies on the dance floor

FML.

she takes after her old man

Soooooo....the scores on the doors after Q8/11

WRTC is still in the lead, but the chasing pack are hot on his heels.  CambridgeAlex is a distance off though. Redsgirl has faltered after an early lead.  Maybe should have gone to Specsavers?

i had no idea hence why i guessed at shiropshire

You should have guessed at Nottinghamshire. 

Two more questions to go, and it's even tighter at the top now, with joint leaders on an impressive 14 points.  Alex is accelerating off into the distance, and I don't even think Redsgirl reading half the questions could catch him now:

but i though you lived on the west side of englandshire hence the liverpool connection was gonna say cheshire glad i didnt

Question 10

When I was a lad, 20p would buy you a lot of sweets.  Using current British coins, how could I pay for a 20p bag of sweets if I was to hand over the exact change to pay for them?  (e.g. 3 x 5p, 5 x 1p)

glad i didnt say nottinghamshire with my ace on question 11 i might have won

Neither of the two leaders managed to Ace this one:

It's all going to come down to trying to think like just one of your fellow competitors, which is a scary place to be...

So close for Ed, who comes unstuck in the last round by going for Nottinghamshire, which no one had actually given as an answer.

WotRTheChances went for the ace of Switzerland, and it means he just pips 3258-time winner TightEnd for first place:

Fml, so tilted I haven't got anywhere near winning this. Was so sure I had it locked.

you would of gotten the prized 2nd spot if i had gone nottinghamshire
along with me and tightend

sorry

How did I go from 17 to 24 when I scored 1 for the last question?

At least you didn't have the fact that you can't actually read pointed out in public.

Well done WotRtheChances!  ;cheerleader;

Cheers Kinboshi!  

Hold the front page!

FARCE!

Fixed it.  I'd given you a FAIL score rather than an ace.

You tied with Tighty in 2nd :)up

Pretty gutted i didn't choose to use my pass in any question during my first attempt at the RSQ when i meant to use it for the County question.  If i had i would have been a joint winner.  Never mind will learn the rules properly for the 2nd attempt.

Might have to hold a post session review. Where's Tomsom?

you dont want to win honestly it is a nightmare

Magic Roundabout is a fail on the last question, cos no-one picked it in the other one.

My mistake. Stribling did answer the original question as Magic Roundabout, I put it as a pass. His score has been amended to 20 instead of 19.

6 down.

Lol.

Got Camerroon and Morocco mixed up.

There's a restaurant in the Wynn called Red 8, I assumed that must be a roulette reference and 8 must be red.

Shameful performance anyway, and not just by the QM.

Oh and Wot R the Chances?!

Yeah mate, that ironside, I don't know why he bothers.

Who is WotRTheChances? Does he play poker, and has anyone met him?

:dontask:

Looking forward to his RSQ, and let's hope it doesn't take as long as the last one FFS.

what did I do now shiroshire

Asian foods restaurant?

Colour red and number 8 massive good luck charms in Chinese culture I believe.

Then why do I always lose CCR there?!

Guess it's cos I'm not Asian.
