blonde poker forum

It falls to me for this week's lockdown inspired all new and unrevamped Reverse Sheep Quiz. I've shamelessly nicked Karmadope's opening blurb (and probably his reveal gadget) from last week.

Reveal 7.30pm Sunday, deadline 2pm Sunday.


10 questions.

No google or other research.

Score for each question is amount of people who gave the same correct answer. Similar answers may be grouped together where appropriate.

Lowest score wins.

Wrong answer? Lots of points. (For nerds: highest scoring answer + half rounded up of unique correct answers)

You get 1 pass - you will score 0 for that question. If you don't use it and still win then you can feel really proud of yourself.

PM me your answers.

1. Name of one of the top 10 animated films of all time in terms of ratings by IMDB
2. Name one of the top 10 scoring ODI batsman of all time, as per cricinfo
3. A component of the UK version of a Big Mac from Mcdonalds.
4. Using the Pointless definition of a country, identify a capital city that starts with the letter H, G or F.
5. A UK top 10 single by The Prodigy.
6. Name a character in the US version of The Office that appeared in more  than 100 episodes.
7. Name one of the top 10 'crazy' moments of the Premier League as ranked on Match of the Day by Lineker et al last week.
8. Name something that Right Said Fred 'are too sexy for'?
9. A variant of poker played regularly in the Blackpool Dealers Choice game.
Maverick Question...
10. I work as a Science teacher in an 11-18 secondary school. For each class experiment I have to order equipment/chemicals that are stored in the prep room. However, there are certain pieces of experimental equipment that live in my lab. Name one of these piece of equipment (Please note, I am not counting materials that would be found in a normal classroom but purely pieces of equipment used for school Science lessons that are stored in my lab).

without google i would be complete guessing at 1,2,6,7 and 10
5 i know one answer (i think)

so for these reasons i am out

Just guess. That's what I'll be doing.

Looks good to me. In.

fck it i am in Celtic will struggle to come last this time

Don't worry, I'll be in

Feeling confident about this one! (not really)

I beat Celtic to bottom spot in the last one - and I think my answers are even worse for this one 😂 ;djinn;

In.

Nice spread of questions there. Took a few punts. Let's see :)

In.

And in. The battle for bottom spot is on.

Still taking entries until tomorrow lunchtime.

Reveal 7:30pm ish tomorrow evening.

Forgot about this.

Is 9 in the Grosvenor or at your home games?

It is as the question states.... the regular Blackpool dealers choice game!

Entries closed.

I'm processing entries now (through blurry, hungover eyes) and will be aiming for 7.30ish reveal.

Torturous process when hungover!

All done and ready for the reveal at 7:30ish.

Get your objections and cries of farce etc ready.

FARCE how come i aint won yet?

wait take that back just see the questions

how come i aint come last yet

There is a battle for last place!

OK, let's begin.

I've tried to include my sources but feel free to object as and when. As always with this type of thing my decision is final!

1. Name of one of the top 10 animated films of all time in terms of ratings by IMDB
It is a massacre!

Some of these I have never even heard of but it is what it is.

9. A variant of poker played regularly in the Blackpool Dealers Choice game.
No link here - you will have to take my word for it as a regular in the game for close to 15 years.

The key word in the question is ‘regularly.’ As an example, Holdem is a legal, selectable game but is never chosen so would be classed as incorrect here. Badugi/Badeucey don't get played here, we play Padooki and Padeucey.

Can Ironside do it?

The simple answer is no as Karmadope still has his 'pass' in the bank.

10. Name a piece of lab equpment stored in my 11-18 Science classroom.

objection your honour my answer was  5 card PLO double flop
not PLO 2 totally differnet games both available in every casinos DC game that i ever sat in which included blackpool

Objection noted but I would stick with the generous grouping of PLO I gave you.

I have never seen a double flop being dealt in a Blackpool DC game.......

FFS i totally miss read question 10  there are certain pieces of experimental equipment that live in my lab. i thought it meant a peace of equipment you were testing as an experiment

so my answer 10) Feul less bunsten burner is incorrect i think lol

Final scores and congratulations to Karmadope for again winning the RSQ and to Ironside, PokerPops and Rubbish for finishing joint 2nd.

I allowed Bunsen Burner as I am a generous and forgiving quizmaster.

i played it there back when yogibear was cardroom manger

LMAO i have no idea how i managed to get away with that

complete guesses with question 1,2 and 6 passed on 7 and answered wrong question for 10

great quiz horrendous set of questions and great quizmasterer in correcting your mistaken scoring of my wrong answer

a complete FARCE

Good quiz that, cheers

well played 4Ksuited  :hello:

anyone think Celtic would make a farce of a QM and he should run the next one

Would be 4 and not 3 though right? Or 5, I don't know whether we are classing unique as answers only one person got.

Hutch, he's just admitted having the wrong answer - amend his score please.

2 PLUS 50% of 2 rounded up (1) = 3 when i went to school

Why would it be 50% of 2?

its a correct answer it was regularly played when i went there during festivals the question didn't have a time frame

"Wrong answer? Lots of points. (For nerds: highest scoring answer + half rounded up of unique correct answers"

Unlucky Ironside, get off that podium.

bugger yeah its should be 2 + 3 so i get 2 more points FARCE

Ironside you are a nudnik.

I can't believe Fritz The Cat was incorrect - it was the highest grossing animated film in it's time and a damn good watch too.

That was several decades ago mind you..

Thanks for running Hutch and well done to all the podiums and 4KSuited.

Still some scoring issues Hutch. This is 8 for an incorrect.

Think this is 7 for incorrect.

7 again.

And so on.

Took the night off from the APAT schedule tonight and then totally forgot this.
Best finish in a lockdown quiz for me.

Tidy reveal HutchGF. WP last night too.

just block my posts no skin off my nose

A ridiculous quiz. "you'll have to take my word for it" on questions we can't possibly know. Love it.

Scoring is all wrong though. You've not done incorrect answers correctly. On question 1 for instance all the wrong answers should score 2.

Highest scoring answer: 1
Number of unique correct answers: 2

1 + (0.5 * 2) = 2

Dropped a clanger there, we listened to Omen in the dressing room before every match when I used to play ice hockey. Spent a good 10 minutes racking my brains for it but no cigar!


Bit of a tap in that one, I can't remember the exact circumstances but I did something in a chemistry class that resulted in bromine gas and the class being sent outside :D

Thanks for running Hutch :)
