not amused- i got 19/20 and am not even listed on the leaderboard even though I got my answers in within an hour of the sprts quiz going up. The only one I got wrong is the grand national one where I went for the chair at 5ft 2 as well as many others.

sorry mate your wrong- the chair is 5ft 2 tall as confirmed by many sites- the one you have means the fence is 6ft high including the ditch- the take off height (or height the horse has to jump) is 5ft 2.

The chair also has a 6ft long ditch- the site you are using is wrong. Just google height of the chair grand national and see how many sites confirm the chair is 5ft 2 in height

You ARE listed, but you only scored 17. Questions 10, 13, and 20 were wrong according to Tightend's answers. |

ok whufc do another google search and u will find around 500000 other sites that quote the correct height of the chair. It is one of the most common pub quiz questions and everyone knows its 5ft 2 (does it not seem strange to you that all the other fences range from 4ft 6 to 5ft and one is suddenly 6ft?) I own shares in a couples of dozy nags and I will have a side bet with you that the correct height is 5ft 2 (any other sites that quote 6ft will all be the same text copied and pasted from your original incorrect site).
I always get my boxing weights wrong and san marino- doh.
Still I got 18 and wh clearly googled as did tightend to find the 6ft one so I say they should be flogged.
