Title: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 12:33:54 AM Sup y'all. The reveal will take place next Wednesday evening at 8pmish, PM me your answers by midnight next Tuesday with RSQ as the subject. Answers must be on a new line, with the appropriate numbering, if neither of these are adhered too, there will be point penalties, +3 per offence.
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 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. Rexas will not win, and Tomsom's answers will be changed as he still owes me 11p. Apart from that objections will be listened to, and then ignored. Question 1) As many of you who read my blog know, I'm a great lover of the Lake District and its fells. Name of the 214 Wainwright Fells. Question 2) I'm currently a university student at Loughborough, which isn't a Russel group university. Name one of the 24 Russel group Universities. Question3) Its world cup year, and we did rubbish. We fared better in 1966. Name a player who started the 1966 World Cup final for England. (starters only, subs will be wrong) Question 4) I'm also a big Golf fan, with the Open in a few weeks, name one of the 13 courses in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland that have hosted the event. Question 5) Rehman (MassiveFish), seen in my blonde pic lives in London. Name one of the 32 Borough's of London. Question 6) As some of you know, I spent 2 winters in Perth, WA where shark attacks appear in the news on a regular basis. Name a species of shark. Question 7) We all enjoy a game of Poker, and its that time of year when the WSOP is running. Name a winner of the WSOP Main Event since it first took place in 1970. Question 8 ) Cricket has always been a big part of my life, keeping on the World Cup theme, name a nation who has qualified for the 2015 cricket world cup. Question 9) My old man has a great love for Victorian literature, and 'claims' to have read all of Charles Dickens novels. Name one of the the 15 Dickens novels (as listed on charlesdickensinfo.com) Question 10) According to a poll conducted by The Mirror, the average Brit has visited only 1/4 of the top 50 landmarks in the UK. Name of the Top 20 most visited sights/ places in Britain. Good luck to all, and i repeat, this will be farcical and totally unfair. But i make the rules. Deal with it. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Rexas on June 25, 2014, 12:37:36 AM [00:14:25] Chris Vernon: rsq up matt
[00:14:28] Chris Vernon: its a good one Call. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 01:15:59 AM despite the rules stipulating he couldnt win, Rexas has entered anyway. strange fellow
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: willrobrobu on June 25, 2014, 02:50:11 AM this ones too tough for me to have a chance but I'll have a go at not coming last
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: BorntoBubble on June 25, 2014, 02:57:33 AM In, will try and remember to ship answers at some point!
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: MintTrav on June 25, 2014, 07:07:37 AM Hmmmm. Already entered, but the first two questions are way too specialist. Don't know any Fells, and no idea on the universities, so had to just guess one at random. Golf one too, perhaps. Rest are okay.
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: david3103 on June 25, 2014, 07:09:27 AM Not the worst set of questions we've seen recently. Will be in when I get round to it.
Meantime, Q3 reveals your youthful assumption that things have always been as you experience them. There were no substitutes allowed in '66, which was good for England because Sir Alf wasn't the best at using them. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Longines on June 25, 2014, 08:28:09 AM Not sure I can fit the names of all 214 on one line.
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: TightEnd on June 25, 2014, 10:01:51 AM entered
you may like to change the wording of Q1 to name any of the.... farce points for using the daily mirror as a source in Q10. Nothing like a highbrow quiz! Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 10:30:20 AM First one is tricky, but would be amazed if nearly everyone who takes part has t heard of a few at least. The second question isn't as specialist as you would think, wanted to have a couple of tricky ones in there.
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: kinboshi on June 25, 2014, 10:51:21 AM First one is tricky, but would be amazed if nearly everyone who takes part has t heard of a few at least. The second question isn't as specialist as you would think, wanted to have a couple of tricky ones in there. Why did you want some tricky ones in there? To reduce the numbers who take part? Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 11:05:22 AM First one is tricky, but would be amazed if nearly everyone who takes part has t heard of a few at least. The second question isn't as specialist as you would think, wanted to have a couple of tricky ones in there. Why did you want some tricky ones in there? To reduce the numbers who take part? the second question is not specialist at all, but i can see the issues with the first one. assumed most may have been to the lake district/ would be able to name one of the highest peaks in the UK. can change if people want, but have had 3 entries already Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: kinboshi on June 25, 2014, 11:50:37 AM I didn't say the second one was specialist. I was asking about why you wanted to "have a couple of tricky ones" in there?
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 11:58:33 AM I didn't say the second one was specialist. I was asking about why you wanted to "have a couple of tricky ones" in there? None are impossible, but would be nice to get people thinking about it and not having an easy ten questions. As I'm sure someone has ready said, these are meant to be challenging! Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: kinboshi on June 25, 2014, 12:02:11 PM The challenge of the RSQ isn't being able to come up with one or two answers for a question. The point is being able to give at least half a dozen answers (if not more) for every question, but the challenge is trying to provide an answer that's unique. So do you go for the safe, obvious choices, or do you risk a more obscure one that might be incorrect? The skill and the challenge is trying to out-fox and out-think the others in the quiz, it's not a general knowledge quiz.
If any of the questions are too hard, then it encourages people to either abstain from the quiz this time, or they may be tempted to google. Neither are what the RSQ is about. Or maybe I'm on my own here? Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 12:43:56 PM I understand that, and question 1 is the only one that would fall I that category. As I said, happy to change if people so wish. Certainly much easier than MullHuzzs! :D
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Cf on June 25, 2014, 01:07:22 PM I agree with kinboshi, although on the whole this is actually a decent set of questions IMO.
Question 1 is obviously a shocker though and doesn't give a good first impression! Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 01:35:00 PM Farcical already! Thoughts on changing question 1 to name one of the 10 highest mountains in the world?
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: RED-DOG on June 25, 2014, 01:42:19 PM Farcical already! Thoughts on changing question 1 to name one of the 10 highest mountains in the world? Earce! There is only one highest mountain in the world and the paint has worn off the bottom of the letter E on my keyboard. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: theprawnidentity on June 25, 2014, 01:43:55 PM I have sent some answers, I made up my own questions though.
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 01:49:41 PM need some advice from Tighty/ a mod. do/ can we change question 1?
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Ironside on June 25, 2014, 01:54:21 PM Can't change once people have entered but I haven't a clue about number 1 never been to Lake District flown over it before and think gone over it in a train
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: kinboshi on June 25, 2014, 01:57:18 PM Farcical already! Thoughts on changing question 1 to name one of the 10 highest mountains in the world? I know two, possibly three of these. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Rexas on June 25, 2014, 01:59:25 PM This is what happens when you don't let me proof read it before you post it.
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Rexas on June 25, 2014, 02:00:35 PM The next RSQ will be the worst ever written. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Longines on June 25, 2014, 02:06:22 PM Just go for it vern and forget the haters.
PS Q1 is crap. PPS I've entered. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Doobs on June 25, 2014, 02:06:56 PM Farcical already! Thoughts on changing question 1 to name one of the 10 highest mountains in the world? Question 1 I can probably name/guess at 10, highest mountain in the World seems extremely specialist after the first two. People need to get out more. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 02:11:15 PM seems like it will have to stay. to clarify a fell is a hill/ mountain. i know there has been some confusion there. can only apologise, seems mullhuzz and i have both gone for a tricky first question. the other 9 offer a decent variety and should bring a competitive rsq!
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 02:31:25 PM I agree Doobs, most will know some for question 1. It's the best part of the uk, people need to live!
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Ironside on June 25, 2014, 02:35:11 PM I agree Doobs, most will know some for question 1. It's the best part of the uk, people need to live! sorry thought you said the Lake District not the highlands or the Grampians if the question was name a Munro I would expect most people would only know Ben Nevis and then again most wouldn't know it was a Munro I have no knowledge of the hills in englandshire Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: redsimon on June 25, 2014, 02:42:33 PM Will give it a go but going to pass on Q 1. Sorry I must get out more :)
Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: willrobrobu on June 25, 2014, 02:57:16 PM seems like it will have to stay. to clarify a fell is a hill/ mountain. i know there has been some confusion there. can only apologise, seems mullhuzz and i have both gone for a tricky first question. the other 9 offer a decent variety and should bring a competitive rsq! 4 of the other 9 are sports questions. i know feck all about sport. i do however go to the lake district most years wiv me dad. sending answers shortly Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: HutchGF on June 25, 2014, 03:36:17 PM In.
Going for the hat-trick over Rubbish as he's, well...... rubbish at these. Got a belting animal again so cue the google accusations! Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: verndog158 on June 25, 2014, 04:48:58 PM only 3 sport questions, and even if you know nothing about sport, most would be able to have a few answers.
so it seems that despite the objections we have 9 entries: Rexarse Mintytrav Tighty Longines Redsimon willrobrobu HutchGF CF Dwh103 seems a few passes for the first question, but more than 1 have put an answer for it! Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: mulhuzz on June 25, 2014, 05:47:11 PM Fucking golf questions, and not a single Popes question?
Farce. Sending answers when I get home. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: HutchGF on June 25, 2014, 08:21:53 PM Fucking golf questions, and not a single Popes question? Farce. Sending answers when I get home. FFS - no copying my answers this week! Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Rexas on June 25, 2014, 08:34:54 PM only 3 sport questions, and even if you know nothing about sport, most would be able to have a few answers. so it seems that despite the objections we have 9 entries: Rexarse Funny guy. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: Redsgirl on June 25, 2014, 09:56:19 PM Dismayed by the questions personally, but being as you seem to have a very, ahem, authoritative QM'ing style, I'll put up and shut up. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: mulhuzz on June 25, 2014, 10:34:46 PM Pretty punty entry sent: wp on picking the two sports I know arguably least about as well as a question about a city I've spent I entire life avoiding.

Surely you should be looking at the top 20 most visited sights/places in Britain, which was the question you asked and nothing to do with that article, whish is clearly just somebody's opinion on which are the best 50 places in Britain. How many can visitors to Blackpool can be arsed to go up that crappy tower?

I have been to Blackpool plenty of times but have never actually visited the tower. I mean, why would you?
That said... the question clearly labelled its source and as much as I can't see the point I answered accordingly. At least no-one said Tower Bridge. I've been over that multiple times.

By contrast, I would throw out half those with an ace. FWIW Have done the tourist walk over Tower Bridge and there is a visitor attraction there you can go in. Pretty sure I went in but can't remember much about it. I can't see many millions of visitors going in there, but suspect they get a fair few more than go up Big Ben or get to the Cheddar Gorge Visitor Centre.

1/10 - amateurish. Title: Re: Verndogs RSQ Post by: willrobrobu on July 03, 2014, 01:31:27 PM definitely a farce if I won.
