Title: dwh103's Accessible RSQ of Truth Post by: dwh103 on July 15, 2014, 10:25:01 PM Welcome travellers. Please participate in a nice and easy RSQ experience. The reveal shall be Thursday 24th July at 7:30pm.
PM me with each answer on a new line, with the appropriate numbering, if neither of these are adhered too, there will be point penalties, +3 per offence. You must pass one question out of Q1-10 and receive a score of zero for that question, Questions 11 and 12 must be answered. 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. If anyone needs to cheat on this quiz - you're an idiot. Objections are allowed during the reveal, though the success of which will largely depend on critical appraisal of your username. My decision will likely be unfair, and final. You must pass one of the following ten questions: 1) Name one of the 20 longest rivers in the UK in km, according to Wikipedia. 2) A number between 1 and 60 that cannot be scored by a single dart on a regular dartboard. 3) A sport in which a participant has come in the top 3 of BBC Sports Personality of the Year. 4) Name a male actor who has won at least two acting Academy Awards (Best Actor/Best Supporting Actor). 5) A poker player with at least 5 WSOP bracelets. 6) Name one of the biggest 20 US states by land area, according to Wikipedia. 7) A day of the week in French, Spanish or German. (That's the translation of a single day of the week into one of those languages, not a translation of 'A day of the week'. Looking at you John Murray) 8) A US president that spent more than one full term (1,461 days) in office. 9) The male reproductive system, or rather, 24 of them, have been in the news thanks to one drunk, misguided Magaluf girl. Heeding the calls for more sex education I therefore desire a number from the below diagrams and the corresponding part of the male or female reproductive system. To assist with understanding the perspective of these diagrams I have helpfully left a number of labels on.

If you pick a question that has the most, or least (ties count) unique correct answers you'll receive a 5 point penalty. Let the farce begin.

Nobody went for any of those questions, and all others were covered. However, had someone picked one of the above three questions, they'd have still scored less than the participants who picked one of the others.
