Title: SuperWomble's Not So Super Sheep Quiz - entries closed
Post by: superwomble on January 11, 2012, 02:34:57 PM
I have recovered enough from the shock of winning the last sheep quiz to bang out some questions for one of my own, with a little twist.

10 questions. Well, subjects really, but for the purpose of the quiz we'll call them questions. Answer them all. The answers do not have to be correct (apart from one).

Your score for each question is the number of people who gave the same answer. However, for each question I have a favourite. If you get the same answer as my favourite you get 5 bonus points. So a possible 50 bonus points up for grabs without necessarily getting the top answer.

In addition, one question has 20 minus points attached to it, if a blatantly insulting wrong answer is given. This might be quite easy to work out  ;)

Highest score wins.

You may use google etc. to help. No asking other participants though.

Deadline: Monday 16th Jan 2012, 1:00pm.

Reveal: Monday 16th Jan 2012, 7:30pm.

Please send answers to me in an un-numbered list in order, eg:

answer1
answer2
answer3

etc, etc, etc... as my spreadsheet doesn't like the numbers either!

Anyway, the questions:

1. A womble.
2. A footballer who plays for, or who has played for, Wimbledon.
3. A Queen song.
4. A chow mein dish one might order from a Chinese takeaway.
5. A flavour of crisps.
6. A Manchester band.
7. A magician.
8. A non-league football club.
9. A Terry Pratchett novel.
10. A Quentin Tarantino film.

Apologies if these have been used in any previous quizzes, I've only been in the last 3 or 4.

Good luck :)

I think the two football questions are very tough for the many typical entrants of this who won't be interested in football, btw, but no bother

would agree in a reverse sheep quiz coz i hate sport questions in those but:

a) irrelevant in a sheep quiz as googling ok and
b) I <3 the crazy gang

that's coz it was crap for an RSQ coz i wasn't allowed to google.  just hope i've picked the right one this time.  my knowledge of pratchett begins and ends with one word.

These questions feel like a little window into your world, Superwomble. Its like I almost know you.
I only wish I knew your name, cos I bet I could get some of those bonus point favourites by looking at your facebook "like" list! ;)
That would be my only chance of scoring big on this quiz, but i'll give it a go anyway. (two football questions ffs?)

the word i was thinking of was 'discworld' but i guess it's maybe three, or even more depending on how generic we're allowed to be.

wouldn't worry about sending the favourites list to anyone else - trust ftw (+ it'll be a good reason to have a pop at you on reveal night - not enough farce or QM abuse in these new style sheep quizes)

That's one more than me - hadn't heard of discworld before. Don't you learn a lot by doing these quizzes? Got through the first 7 without Google but needed it for the last 3.

Oh, I'm in.

Not a fan of the bonus points, arbitrary and capable of distorting the purity of the quiz to the QM's own ends

Disappointing as Peter Winckelman's hbaircut, to be frank

Cheers guys, hope it was mostly enjoyable. Shame we didn't get a few more in!

I thought the bonus points would make a nice twist so apologies to those who disagree. Hope some of you liked it! Although they didn't make any difference to the winner...

I'd have thought The Colour of Magic was the obvious Discworld answer give the recent Colour of Magic/Light Fantastic adaptation.

Reaper Man isn't actually high up on my list of favourite Discworld books. Though I did enjoy the weird organic shopping mall thing at the end :)

I wish i was young enough to not know what you're on about

Godammit - I just looked them up on the worldwide web and it turns out that they're not even a non-league team. I thought they were the definitive founding team of the Football League that is now a tiny non-league team, but it seems they have been back in the league for a few years. No wonder no-one else went for them.

Not only that, but they are on a world record run. According to Wiki, 'from 1999-2000 to 2010-2011 Accrington Stanley have never finished lower than their previous season's final position', which makes them the only team in the world to improve their league position twelve years in a row.

Lol, I forgot about them being a league club as I was too bothered about getting the milk reference in!

They haven't improved their position every year BTW, 10th in 2003/4 and 10th in 2004/5, but still probably the only team in the world to improve OR MAINTAIN their league position twelve years in a row.
