blonde poker forum

The reveal will take place on Tuesday 24 June @ 8pm - don't think anything else important is on that night. PM me your answers by midnight on Monday with RSQ as the subject.

Your score is the number of people who give the same correct answer. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.  If you score the only ACE (an ace being a correct answer which no-one else submits) in any round, you will receive MINUS 1 points for that round. I've reused a couple of questions from the last time I did one of these 3(!) years ago.

You are not allowed to do research such as using Google to come up with answers, and you are not allowed to ask others for help with your answers.  Remember, you are only cheating yourself (and your illustrious peers).

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

You MUST pass on one, and only one, question and you will receive a score of 0 for that question.





Q1 A few seemed to like this question first time round so here it is again:

The game of Cluedo requires players to accuse a specific character of committing murder using a specific weapon in a specific room. Choose a suspect, a weapon and a room. If you ace all three elements you will score -5. Ace two elements to score -1.

Q2 I thought Kate would have made the list but it hasn't, maybe Miley has:

Name one of the top 20 baby girls name in 2013.

Q3 My nephew asked me the other day why a duke is called a duke:

There are 29 active Dukedoms (e.g. Duke of Cambridge, Duke of York) in the UK, name one.

Q4 Most mornings I'm in the car at some ungodly hour and listen to Farming Today on Radio 4. Around the same time they have the brilliantly bonkers shipping forecast:

Name an area mentioned in the shipping forecast.

Q5 Took the family to a local Owl and Falconry sanctuary at the weekend - I had no idea there was so many types of Owl - big ones, small ones - some can take down foxes and small deer.

Name a species of Owl.

Q6 Somewhere that doesn't have too much use for a shipping forecast:

Name a landlocked country.

Q7 I have never voluntarily eaten eggs. Can't stand them, the taste makes me gag. Don't care what you do to them, I would heave. So:

Name a way of serving eggs. Just eggs, if any other ingredients are needed, you'll fail.

Q8 Topical question time:

A football score that has occurred in the 2014 FIFA World Cup so far. No teams required, just the score. 9-8 and 8-9 would be treated as different.

Q9 I'm a big F1 fan:

Name a driver who has taken part in a 2014 F1 race.

Q10 I've run out of inspiration so reusing this one too:

Name one of the ten commandments.


Good luck. I'm going to turn the pedantry level up to 11 for the reveal so the farce potential is high.

Good questions. Will be partaking.

Unlike England or Spain, I'm in!

In

Hopefully have time, crazy few days. Will send tonight

am in, sent, gl everyone

Most likely wont be here for reveal but still in!

Unfortunately I will not be present for the reveal!  So can I defend one of my answers prior to the commencement of the farce?

Defend the indefensible? Good luck with that. You can try explaining it if you like as I have no idea what you're on about  ;djinn;

Basically the question doesn't define where the answer has to come from.

Ah, OK.

Fail.

Next.

17 in so far.

The 17th entry changed who wins.....

in

Lol so I'm out :p

Just about to leave the office, if everything goes to plan I'll be home in time for the reveal. If not, I'll be starting the reveal from the train....

It surely means that the 17th person altered who wins in a sense in that they've added points to the previous winner, as opposed to the 17th person winning.

Ding! Or the 17th entrant has won. Or 17th was winning until the 18th entered....

Closing it now. The 18 runners are:

In advance, unlucky Chris. Well, not unlucky, you're fucking stupid, but it seems like the right thing to say.

Is reveal like now ish?

I thought so

Everyone sitting comfortably?

i am always sitting never comfy

Question 1

The game of Cluedo requires players to accuse a specific character of committing murder using a specific weapon in a specific room. Choose a suspect, a weapon and a room. If you ace all three elements you will score -5. Ace two elements to score -1.

No-one said Dagger, Dining Room or Lounge. No-one sheeped all three elements but someone did ace two of them to score -1.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Cluedo_arms_c._1960.png/240px-Cluedo_arms_c._1960.png)

No Drawing Room in Cluedo so we have a fail as well.

Nice gentle start so onto Q2.

Oioi. Straight back where I belong.

This'll last long, definitely ;)

Name one of the top 20 baby girls name in 2013.

http://www.bounty.com/baby-names/top-100-girls-names-2013

Only one fail this time, Alice didn't make the top 20.

Lily and Jessica tied for sheep:

I'm afraid there is. Although I didn't go down that road myself, I am aware that later versions of Cluedo included lots of new suspects and some additional rooms, including a drawing room.

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

I'm pretty sure I didn't pass that question?

how on earth am i the only fail with that list of names for top 20

FARCE everyones on google

Not that it would matter to my score (it doesn't) but might affect others...

I answered Lucy, not Lily.

I am at an age where every adult I know socially has accqiired a child in the last year.

They are all, without exception, called Lucy.

Mulhuzz copying my answers again! Only chance I had of winning was when it was his quiz!

Did not say Alice

I did, but I got points, lol!

Bugger, wasn't expecting farce already. Off to check some PMs, as you were.

Feck.

Talk amongst yourselves for a min.

Which, but for a Farce, you would have won, rite?

No biting itt, please

Best QM start ever. He's mixed up all the replies and given everyone each other's answers. Good luck with the rest of the quiz, Longines.

i said alice i think name of my first GF

wait, wait, wait. Are you telling me the 18th entrant may not have changed the winner??????

I'm pretty sure I said Lily which is my Neighbours Daughters name.

I said Olivia

I spent most of the evening in which I entered this drinking Limoncello, so I have no idea what I wrote.

As seamlessly as a Tikay segue, we move on:

Q3

There are 29 active Dukedoms (e.g. Duke of Cambridge, Duke of York) in the UK, name one.

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

A few aces here plus a fail....

I think there's an Earl of Westmorland but little sign of a Duke....

never mind

Ahem...

Going well so far.

Scores after Q3.

farce 11 is less than 12

Blame Excel, not the tool using it.

Shouldn't David have scored 9 for Westmorland?

How has Hutch got less than me? Is this some sort of Blackpool mafia thing going on?

Q4 Name an area mentioned in the shipping forecast.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipping_Forecast#Region_names

He did, think of it as an optical illusion.

Next up, Q5

Managed to duck out of work early to watch the football/cricket & home in time to see the rest of this! not last as yet oi oi

Unlucky, sir.

i am guessing 24 years of living next door to alice means i wont be winning this week

Don't be jealous of my superior intelligence and fantastic English genetics.

http://www.owlpages.com/owls.php?genus=all

You could have had Lesser Eagle Owl, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Indian Eagle Owl, Rock Eagle Owl, Bengal Eagle Owl, Pharaoh Eagle Owl, Desert Eagle Owl or just about every other type of Eagle Owl

except Eagle Owl.

Same goes for Barn.

<sits back>

Peruvian Screech????  GF.

Oh yeah, and "Peruvian Screech" is just about the best example of RSQ Googling ever but if you'd seen the full PM you also realise it really isn't....

i knew my knowledge of the girl guide movement would help me out lol

i actually expected to fail this question so that i didnt win but i didnt need to worry about that

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

?

He gave an incred answer to my animals question last week as well.

Think he works as a professional animal whisperer or something.

Edit: may be professional child wrangler/teacher also.

Scores on the doors.

No, I have no idea why Excel is doing that either so sue me:

This is true, however I basically did nothing else today other than watch cricket/Wimbledon.  When I say duck out early, I mean have a pint or 6!  ;D

This article is about the Common Barn Owl species. For the entire barn-owl family see Tytonidae

The question asked for a species, not a family.

Overruled.

I am a Science teacher for a living. Don't be hating and calling my good name into doubt.

The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is the most widely distributed species of owl, and one of the most widespread of all birds.

FARCE

Thought you were a Chemistry Teacher?

Never before have I seen such awesome googling tekkers. Wp Verndog.

And since when have you had a good name?

The RSPB thinks that Eagle Owl is a species. The word "species" is used several times here, without any further specification:

http://www.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/policy/species/nonnative/eagleowls.aspx

should be called by its correct taxonomical name of Common Barn Owl and always is by pedantic QMs.

(http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab297/mporter123/barnowlffs_zps81d0a39f.jpg) (http://s873.photobucket.com/user/mporter123/media/barnowlffs_zps81d0a39f.jpg.html)

Thinking you're arguing eagle owls you need to give a binomial not just 'someone on the internet used it'

No more objections? Good, moving on...

Someone? The RSPB.

Q6 Landlocked countries.

Lots of Aces, only two sheep answers.

Aye but by the actual definition of species, Eagle Owl isn't one.

Four way tie at the top, 4 questions to go (thank god).

Q7 Name a way of serving eggs. Just eggs, if any other ingredients are needed, you'll fail.

Reinforcing The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds' use of the term Eagle Owl, Wiki observes that Eagle Owl is a common alternative reference for the Eurasian or European Eagle-Owl:

"The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of eagle owl resident in much of Eurasia. It is sometimes called the European eagle-owl and is, in Europe where it is the only member of its genus besides the snowy owl (B. scandiacus), occasionally abbreviated to just eagle-owl."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_eagle-owl

I have a feeling my downward spiral begins here

Well it seemed like a good idea at time....

(http://fe867b.medialib.glogster.com/media/c3/c35dde86a9594459db37bf104088ac1c6e9a09b2e60c3c0ff45c06a2800e3913/eggdrop.jpg)

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/68/205049946_680d36621c.jpg)

Note the lack of discernible ears. Funny that.

A few Aces here.

Googling balut for someone who doesn't like eggs was fun.

Never heard of coddled, guess I was mollycoddled as a kid.

Grumpily was maybe borderline but in the end irony won.

I liked in a cup.

I guess that's supposed to mean something. Maybe you'll condescend to share your superior knowledge with us. Maybe you won't.

Objection.

"Name a way of serving eggs."

The question did not ask for a method of cooking eggs. Several wrong answers there.

Cant believe you failed grupily also youneed oil to fry an egg

would you have aced or failed with a tennis racquet ?

No you don't.

and water to boil/steam

Served = cooking method for eggs in this QMs book. YEMV.

Aced obv.

Scores after Q7

damm i should of passed the girls name then

Sorry to come to the reveal late, but my answer to Q2 was Lucy, not Chloe..

Read on, he fixed it

think my scores wrong, passed q2 but you scored me 3 for it

Q8 Name a score at the World Cup.

No one went for 1-4, 2-5 or even the classic 1-0.

Still managed 7 Aces out of 18 and the sheep by miles was 0-0.

selective pedantry

bottled it on the egg question.

Farce, question stated "A football score that has occurred in the 2014 FIFA World Cup so far. No teams required, just the score. 9-8 and 8-9 would be treated as different."

2-5 hadn't happened at this point, that happened a day after the question was set.  Anyone who got early entries would be screwing!

*edit* I know no one went for it, but that's because we all knew it hadn't happened yet! Fact it gets a mention means its a farce  :P

Can't get the staff these days.

Fixed.

Good point well made. Just looked at the BBC results page 2 mins ago to pick those out. Obviously I doubled check every answer at the time to make sure it had occurred before the answer was submitted.

Note to self: wait at least another three years before winning one of these again.

am i winning yet?

I only mentioned because I thought of that score line when sending the answers but didn't go with it due to wording of question.  ;bigadz;

That and I've seen its mandatory to claim farce at every RSQ =)

And it's a 3 way tie at the top. The tension is almost bearable.

come on verndog, your punishment awaits....

not sure i could cope with another mulhuzz

Nee chance I beat his Tightness at F1 mind.

Q9 Name an F1 driver.

None of the top three qualifiers in Austria were mentioned and the sheep was a Brit.

Was tempted to fail the ambitious spelling of the current world champion:

Sigh. Wd Chris. Was bound to happen at some point. Blatantly googled every answer.

i think Vetell is a fail

extremely well known sports personality and really no excuse to mis-spell his name, especially when the rest of the field is correctly spelling maldonado, kobayashi, magnussen etc

nice to know my rookie winning attempt was just variance which got me to the win!

ok thats how i spelt his name spell check didnt help

Why is my answer wrong? I spelled it right in PM...

dont be such a pedant we never fail for spelling especially when i havent watch F1 in years

Lol no cheating for me, my answer for qu 2 was Sophie. Tighty and anyone who listens to test match special will know they always go to the shopping forecast so that was easy. Your jut jealous I'm a well educated bloke, you Essex chav!

O, the irony. The shopping forecast? Blatant google. And yes, you definitely are jut more well educated than me. Bitch.

It's not. In my (variable) colour scheme pink is non-ace, not wrong.

TfT allowed me to pull out Hulkenberg, thought a few other regs would have went for it

You missed the incorrect you're. That's my pet hate.

Scores with one question to go?

Scotty wins.

The joint leaders don't give the same answer for Q10.

I don't care who wins, as long as it isn't Chris. I'll never hear the end of it.

Don't  think I could handle the disappointment 3 weeks in a row

kick on tighty.  

so glad alice was a fail now its would of been dangerously close to wininng if i had aced

(http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserver/Breitbart/Big-Government/2012/09/10/kick-off.jpg)

come on chris, win it

rexas tilt time

one time

(http://e1.365dm.com/13/01/660x350/atlantafalcons_2885750.jpg?20130113233614)

Anyone know of any nice bridges in Essex?

Of the ten commandments, only one wasn't chosen.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

It would be so pure if I chose the same answer as Chris, and that caused him to lose.

The Sheep answer scored 3 and there are two FAILS.

<deep breath>

If I've bottled it again, please don't be slow rolling  

Slowest reveal ever.

its a controversial fail, perhaps.....

tense times for verndog/scotty/mulhuzz..

 

Really wna see who wins but am tiredest human ever. Struggling to stay awake.

Hopefully this post whinges it in ;)

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

The correct answer would have been "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour". Close but no cigar.

And "The Fifth" appealed at first, I always appreciate a bit of lateral thinking. However, there is no definitive fifth commandment as it depends on which version you recognise. And for that reason and because it partially restores my pedantic credentials, it's a FAIL.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz this is more tedious than watching england play football

NO

oooooooooooh

thats the risk you've got to take to try to win it, with only 10 possible answers

nice QMing sir

Thou shall not bite an opponent.

though technically, the answer for 

thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain

given above is incorrect too

is it pure that you answering that gave him the win without a tiebreak?

Think we go to a breaker if you answer anything else.

Wp verndog ;)

Just noticed the in-running scores might have been missing the scores for one answer  ;whistle;

All correct now, vern wins.

Yay, thank god that's over.

So sick...

mannnnnn, switched between adultery and kill, sigh

ffs, Hutch beat me again.

Pretty happy with my first RSQ attempt and like the fact my name was highlighted in that screen grab....Its the little things that count =)

Extra kudos for specifying what you shouldn't covet? Ace surely

2 missing words I could let slide but not 3  ;D

The next RSQ will be the worst ever written.

Yep, thanks for joining in bunny always good to have new blood. And if you do win it's really fun, honest.

cheers all, 3rd time lucky! promise to have a challenging RSQ, but not like HuzzMulls!!
and to confirm, i did not at any time use google. rexas, eat shit

pretty sure if I ever win 1 then I will have the slowest reveal ever.  Never know if I'll actually be around on a evening due to work/beer!

I'm sorry Chris. Really, I am. I didn't mean to offend you. I know how much you like Bing.

When you say challenging RSQ, you do know what an RSQ is meant to be, don't you?

Was close but all the coveting seems to be covered by just one, tbh I thought it was specifically just the ass but Wiki says different.

Obvious boycott is obvious.

Who doesn't covet an ass?

Longines, who was the winner until I entered in 17th?

Quizzes were the winner.

i have done 5 questions, should be up by tonight!

well done chris, and thank you grant

good job

we await the fuckwit's quiz with interest

It was a dead heat, buggered if I can remember who.

Missed this earlier, needs love.

So the Fifth Commandment is not a Commandment. Good job I gave up on this quiz last night. The QM is quite clearly mad, or he is taking revenge for an answer I disallowed by marking correct answers incorrect left and right and bumping me out to a ridiculous total.

The Fifth Commandment is not a Commandment - I've heard it all now.

England > Wales.

I can't believe I forgot to enter Longines quiz. I would have totally won this one too!
It would have been a shame to disappoint Verndog again though, so me missing it worked out well in the end.  :)

you just have to enter mine now :D
