Title: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: KarmaDope on April 08, 2020, 10:41:23 PM Managed to find some questions, so here we go.
1. Rebecca Redfern, daughter of our own AMRN/Swimdad, won gold at the 2019 Para World Championships in the Womens 100m Breaststroke SB13. In seconds, what was the winning time in the final (rounded down). 2. 6 bowlers have taken more than 500 wickets in their Test Match career (Warne, Murali, Anderson, McGrath, Kumble and Walsh). How many Test Match wickets have they taken combined? 3. Swindon Town hold an unwanted record in the Premier League. Obviously its for largest number of goals conceded, but how many did they actually concede over the course of their only season? 4. The Grand National should have taken place last weekend but thanks to Coronavirus, it was cancelled. 3 years ago it took place on my birthday, which is 8th April. One for Arthur won the race, but how long did it take the horse to complete the course in seconds? 5. Lewis Hamilton is the current F1 World Champion, but how many F1 races has he actually officially entered in his F1 career? 6. The WSOP is the pinnacle of poker events, apparently. Hint, it's not, but obscene numbers of people attend every year. Anyway, in 2019, Robert Campbell was crowned WSOP Player of the Year. How many points (rounded down) did he score to win? 7. Michael Van Gerwen (who else?) holds the record for the highest ever televised average in Darts. What is it (rounded down). 8. Ronnie O'Sullivan holds the current record for largest number of Ranking Titles won in Snooker (including minors). How many is this? 9. Sir Mo Farah won the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2016 Olympics. If you subtract the time he won the 5k from the time he won the 10k, what is the difference in minutes? 10. Ronan O'Gara is the current all time highest points scorer for the Ireland Rugby Union team. How many points did he score in international matches for Ireland? Answers/reveal in a couple of days or when enough entries are received. Title: Re: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: KarmaDope on April 09, 2020, 06:27:46 PM Got one entry.

Rebecca Redfern, daughter of our own AMRN/Swimdad, won gold at the 2019 Para World Championships in the Womens 100m Breaststroke SB13. In seconds, what was the winning time in the final (rounded down).

6 bowlers have taken more than 500 wickets in their Test Match career (Warne, Murali, Anderson, McGrath, Kumble and Walsh). How many Test Match wickets have they taken combined? Right. The totals are as follows: Muralitharan - 800 Warne - 708 Kumble - 619 Anderson - 584 (as of this post) McGrath - 563 Walsh - 519 Which adds up to a healthy 3,793 wickets according to my maths.

Swindon Town hold an unwanted record in the Premier League. Obviously its for largest number of goals conceded, but how many did they actually concede over the course of their only season? Unfortunately for Swindon, they hold a record that is highly unlikely to be broken. They are the only team ever to concede 100 or more goals in a season in the Premier League. Granted, it was back when the league had 22 clubs rather than the 20 it has now, so there were 4 more extra games, but it's unlikely to ever be broken. Even Derby, the worst team to play in the Premier League, only conceded 89 in a 38 game season. Oh, the actual number? A nice round 100 goals conceded. This leads to the first duck eggs scored, with three of you getting it spot on. Congrats to Tighty, sonour and Pokerpops for scoring nowt on this one.

The Grand National should have taken place last weekend but thanks to Coronavirus, it was cancelled. 3 years ago it took place on my birthday, which is 8th April. One for Arthur won the race, but how long did it take the horse to complete the course in seconds? This may have happened on my birthday in 2017, but I didn't watch it and don't know anything about the race. The horse won in 9 minutes, 3.5 seconds which by my maths is 543 seconds. Yes, I am aware that I didn't put "rounded down", but every other question where this has occurred has been rounded down so I'm rounding down. It's not going to change much anyway.

Lewis Hamilton is the current F1 World Champion, but how many F1 races has he actually officially entered in his F1 career? Amazingly, Hamilton has entered 250 races in his F1 career, of which he has won 84 of them. Obscene win percentage. One of you managed to get this spot on.

The WSOP is the pinnacle of poker events, apparently. Hint, it's not, but obscene numbers of people attend every year. Anyway, in 2019, Robert Campbell was crowned WSOP Player of the Year. How many points (rounded down) did he score to win? After a long, gruelling WSOP summer, and controversy over who was the actual winner between Shaun Deeb, Daniel Negreanu and Campbell, it was the Aussie who stood tall, with the POY title and two bracelets. Campbell's winning total was 3,961.31, giving us a total of 3961 points after rounding down.

Michael Van Gerwen (who else?) holds the record for the highest ever televised average in Darts. What is it (rounded down). A question that most of you got pretty close to. MVG averaged 123.40 in a televised Premier League game against Michael Smith on 25 February 2016, which rounded down is 123. Smith's average in return? A measly 91.41, a full 31.99 points less.

Ronnie O'Sullivan holds the current record for largest number of Ranking Titles won in Snooker (including minors). How many is this? Ronnie has won 36 major titles, a record he holds with Stephen Hendry. Unlike Hendry, however, Ronnie has also won 3 minor ranking titles, which puts him out on his own with 39 ranking titles won. Only one person managed to get this spot on, but sadly for Karabiner, it's not going to save him from still propping up the field.

Karabiner is still bottom, but Ironside is doing his best to be the worst. Rubbish and stribling seem to have set their positions at 1 and 2, but there are still two questions left so let's see if that stays the same. Title: Re: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: KarmaDope on April 11, 2020, 09:23:13 PM Question 9
Sir Mo Farah won the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2016 Olympics. If you subtract the time he won the 5k from the time he won the 10k, what is the difference in minutes? Let's see. Mo won the 10,000m in 27 minutes, 5.17 seconds. He won the 5,000m in 13 minutes, 3.30 seconds. That is a difference of...carry the one...plus 2847....hmmm, sod this, where's the calculator. Oh, yeah, that's it. 14 minutes, 1.87 seconds. Naturally, 14 minutes is the answer here as I'm not giving decimal points out and nobody can even try to claim I should round up to 15 minutes here. Don't even try it, I can't be bothered reading it :D Anyway, your answers were: Tighty 14 0 Doobs 13 1 bunnydas8888 6 8 rubbish2407 15 1 Nirvana 14 0 Dacorb 15 1 Scotty 20 6 arbboy 15 1 stribling 14 0 robbiebox 15 1 Karabiner 14 0 sonour 15 1 Ironside 9 5 Pokerpops 13 1 celtic 23 9 Juperjiper 120 106 As most people got 1, or 0 for this question, there shouldn't be much change in the table.

Ronan O'Gara is the current all time highest points scorer for the Ireland Rugby Union team. How many points did he score in international matches for Ireland? Ireland? Why on earth are you asking about Ireland? Well, England was too easy and also the better half is Irish. Makes for some interesting times in my household come 6 Nations time...anyway, ROG has the lowest points per game average of the current Top 10 points scorers of all time, at a measly 8.33 points per game. He played 130 of them though, all in the green jersey of Ireland. 130 multiplied by 8.33 equals 1,083 total points. That consisted of 16 tries, 176 conversions, 202 penalties and 15 drop goals.

Anyway, who's next? Title: Re: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: Doobs on April 11, 2020, 10:03:22 PM noooooo
Thought I was going to beat Tighty for a while there. Should have realised the last question was rugby union :( Title: Re: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: Ironside on April 11, 2020, 10:17:52 PM Question 9 Sir Mo Farah won the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2016 Olympics. If you subtract the time he won the 5k from the time he won the 10k, what is the difference in minutes? Let's see. Mo won the 10,000m in 27 minutes, 5.17 seconds. He won the 5,000m in 13 minutes, 3.30 seconds. That is a difference of...carry the one...plus 2847....hmmm, sod this, where's the calculator. Oh, yeah, that's it. 14 minutes, 1.87 seconds. Naturally, 14 minutes is the answer here as I'm not giving decimal points out and nobody can even try to claim I should round up to 15 minutes here. Don't even try it, I can't be bothered reading it :D Anyway, your answers were: Tighty 14 0 Doobs 13 1 bunnydas8888 6 8 rubbish2407 15 1 Nirvana 14 0 Dacorb 15 1 Scotty 20 6 arbboy 15 1 stribling 14 0 robbiebox 15 1 Karabiner 14 0 sonour 15 1 Ironside 9 5 Pokerpops 13 1 celtic 23 9 Juperjiper 120 106 As most people got 1, or 0 for this question, there shouldn't be much change in the table. I'm going to assume juperjiper either thought I was doing seconds again, or mistyped. rubbish2407 100 stribling 412 Doobs 541 Tighty 581 robbiebox 1313 bunnydas8888 1496 celtic 2396 sonour 2638 Scotty 2847 arbboy 3510 Pokerpops 4342 Dacorb 4623 Nirvana 4723 Juperjiper 4991 Ironside 8852 Karabiner 10610 Our leader finally hits the 100 mark but apart from that it is as you were. Gonna need some serious swings in the last question to change anything up top...here's a hint, someone in that top 4 needs to be sweating right now. i was close for this one Title: Re: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: Karabiner on April 11, 2020, 10:47:39 PM Is there a prize for the most duck-eggs?
Title: Re: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: KarmaDope on April 11, 2020, 11:02:19 PM Given that the winner has already set one, it could be that the most ducks runs the next one... rotflmfao

Title: Re: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 12, 2020, 09:08:01 AM Forgot about this last night. Was quite lucky that I knew quite a few of these and lucked out on the first question that I didn't have a clue on and the WSOP one.
Thanks for running Karma. May do a new quiz this afternoon if I get a chance. Happy Easter guys and girls, stay safe. Title: Re: Guess the number - Quiz 8 Post by: scotty2hatty on April 12, 2020, 02:11:52 PM Great quiz Karma, my mediocrity continues.
