blonde poker forum

There are TEN questions. You must answer NINE of them and pass on one. You will score zero for the question you pass. You may not pass question 10

Your score for each question is the number of people who give the same correct answer. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep. If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score +5.

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

The reveal will take place on Wednesday 11th 2 June at 8pm, the night before the World Cup starts

Objections will be considered during the reveal. However, my decision will be final. Verndog158 may not object. Objections to any answers by Rexas may be upheld summarily.

To enter you should PM your answers to me by 9am on Wednesday 11th June.

Image 5 AWOL?

Image for Q5

I object, best world cup song of all time is 'baddiel and skinner'- 3 lions on your shirt!

win a quiz, get to make sweeping assertions

thats how it works on this thread.

3 lions wasn't a world cup song it was originally written for EURO 1996.

Great quiz tighty btw.  def in.

In, will probably break a record on high score here though.

You have got to be kidding me.

answers in. leggggggo

I was holding a silent protest against the increasing trend of sport related questions in the R.S.Q.

But being as no one noticed (or cared) and because I rather like Tightend, consider me in.

I promise, if I ever win, to ask less sport related questions than tighty has here.

getting an early objection in. the word is fewer ;)

clarifaction please for question 3 and 4 does european mean member of the EU member of uefa or location on a map?
and for all countries envolved do they have to be soverign countries and members of the UN?

For my quizzes, this is a one off. were ii to win again, back to a generalist quiz

Q3 is straightforward. team playing in world cup finals not qualified via UEFA

Q4 Has to be a UEFA Member played in 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying

Objection. European =/= UEFA

Israel for example is not a 'European' country

Ooo, objecting is fun. Never normally remember or fluke being on for the reveal.

Oh I'm a bit early.  Cuppa anyone?

when did the clock become 20 minutes out?  very weird how it just seems to keep on drifting.

good evening

Good job no one noticed that my previous correct answer was only because if you looked really closely it says Italia on the badge.

7. The greatest World Cup song of all time is "World in Motion" by New Order (1990). Name someone who appeared on the track, vocally.


you could have had

any member of new order...no one put a member of new order

keith allen, who co-wrote it

kenneth wolstenholme the commentator

now i started off thinking only some of the squad sang on it

indeed the notes on the sleeve say Barnes, Beardsley, Gascoigne, Waddle, Steve McMahon and Des Walker as provide vocals, though the entire squad is seen miming to the refrain in the video

however the sleeve also credits the "squad" for chorus and refrain, so on that basis i had to allow those footballers not named above

so

9. Name a pundit (not comentators or presenters) who as at 5th June is listed to be part of BBC TV or Radio coverage of the 2014 World Cup on www.bbc.co.uk

the relevant link is http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27339354

i checked any not mentioned, to double check i was correct

waz1892 is doubly punished, not only did he choose garth crooks (now going to the mods, a bannable offence), but garth crooks is not appearing. fail, and just as well too

someone who watches a lot of football has also managed to miss Andrew Townsend on ITV. nice life

Well done all, good quiz Rich, enjoyed that one.

Mulhuzz and Verndog, I have a tie break question

I will set it publically, and I need answer PMed to me by 9.30pm

please do not google   

the person who gives me the nearest answer to the actual wins


please confirm you are both around, then i will put the question up

He is like a clueless boring version of andy Townsend.

I can't stand Townsend fwiw.

im here :D
gl muzzhull

I'm around.

Verndog158, pride of Kent

Mulhuzz, pride of the North East



FIFA has a prize fund which it distributes to all finalists for each world cup

For 2010, in $, how much did the winners Spain receive from FIFA for winning?

nearest wins, PM to me

bloody hell, great question. i have no idea. probably gonna look stupid
pm sent Tighty

I do agree, so lesson learnt. Forgiveness is sought

That's interesting, I didn't even consider there would be prize money on offer for the World Cup.  It makes sense of course that there would be but I've never considered it.

I think I have a rough idea that it's nowhere near as much as the EPL etc would be.....

edit: already sent answer before I wrote this btw.

have two answers

verndog says $5.6m

mulhuzz says $30.001m


and the answer is

The total prize money on offer for the tournament was confirmed by FIFA as US$420 million (including payments of US$40 million to domestic clubs), a 60 percent increase on the 2006 tournament.[30] Before the tournament, each of the 32 entrants received US$1 million for preparation costs. Once at the tournament, the prize money was distributed as follows:[30]

    US$8 million – To each team eliminated at the group stage (16 teams) ($8.65 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$9 million – To each team eliminated in the round of 16 (8 teams) ($9.73 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$14 million – To each team eliminated in the quarter-finals (4 teams) ($15.14 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$18 million – Fourth placed team ($19.47 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$20 million – Third placed team ($21.63 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$24 million – Runner up ($25.96 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
   US$30 million – Winner ($32.44 million in 2014 US dollars[31])

In a first for the World Cup, FIFA made payments to the domestic clubs of the players representing their national teams at the tournament. This saw a total of US$40 million paid to domestic clubs. This was the result of an agreement reached in 2008 between FIFA and European clubs to disband the G-14 group and drop their claims for compensation dating back to 2005 over the financial cost of injuries sustained to their players while on international duty,

yeah i sent, pretty sure am on the low side

therefore i declare the winner is Mulhuzz

Congratulations, and well done to verndog too


Mulhuzz over to you

great quiz, thought i was on the low side. if thats a guess, $1 out is a pretty decent effort. wp sir.
i object, rexas didnt even enter

well all this time I wanted to win one and I have no idea what to do now.

aiiiight, will come up with something.

@verndog: 100% a guess (albeit an educated one). I happened to know that this year it's gonna be about $35m and just worked back for inflation and added a dollar incase you went for the same number and it was higher.

Bad luck Verndog!

Great quiz TightEnd, didn't expect anything less of course.

Now I shall put this public humiliation behind me, and look forward to winning Mullhuzz's quiz!

OBJECTION

It will be a sad, sad day when verndog is the pride of anywhere except his own bedroom.

Also, genuinely forgot to enter :p Nice bit of run good there, wouldn't have beaten CV for sure, great showing. Can definitely call this a win for you by default, so I'm currently 2-1 up.

damm farce objections england aint in the EU so cant be european and with UKIP winning the last election seems the population didnt want the UK to be in the EU either

wish i went with my other choice now of austraila ( i did send it to tighty so no aftertiming)
then i would have had perfect score just behind the tied winners
just couldnt afford to win this week

i object, rexas claims to have never run good in his life

rexas, verndog and other assorted humans:

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=63881.0

come and get it.

couldnt see pic on my device so sigh passed, good quiz congrats to mulhuzz

Lots of googling on the host cities question imo...

Nice quiz Mr End, and well done Mlz.

Thanks Tighty - fun quiz.

i thought everyone knew rio was hosting
