The real RSQ get cracking

[Newmanseye]

I don't think on the whole it's that bad, but, I would pull a few of the questions that are simply going to  put off most people, leaving it something like this...

(1) Name one of the 5 Great Lakes in America

(2) Name a landlocked country

(3) Name a country to have won the fifa world cup tournament

(4) Name a Major Organ in the Human Body

(5) Name any movie or TV series to feature Billy Connolly

Bonus Question - Tikay was awarded which substance at a blonde bash in recognition of his fence sitting?

(6) Name one of the top 10 tallest buildings on the planet to date.

(7) Name 1 of the Academy award best picture winners from the last 14 years.

(8 ) Name any comic Written or Co Written by Stan Lee

(9 ) Name a member of the A-team and the actor that played that character.

Bonus question . Name the Contestant that's was caught * cough * cheating on who wants to be a Millionaire UK

(10) Give a recent Model of nokia Phone ( last 3 years ) released to the UK

(11) Give 1 of the games created by Parker Brothers

Bonus question - Dave Colclough was once involved with which Glasgow based poker club

(12) Name any TV series Written or Co Written by Richard Curtis

Perhaps an additional change could be - just the character name of an A-team member, that's debatable though...

On the whole, I like it, but I think there are some specific questions that are going to be problematic, and therefore off-putting to many.

some characters had more than one actor so give more choice

1 character had more than 1 actor and Pilots dont count.

so does that rule out 1 member of the A team then??

what Jane said (although there's still 3 I can't answer!!)

My choice of those questions to leave, had nothing to do with the fact that I can actually answer them... that is purely coincidental

The A-Team question stands, only i character has a different actor for the pilot and its not appliucable in this case, however anyone that knows the pilot actors name may get a special bounus of 50 points for googling

[Newmanseye]

Ok the pole is close enough to 50 / 50 for my liking it stands as is.

Although i do wonder if anyone will catch Kinboshi at this early stage, even with a few wrong he has bagged 10 aces so far!!!!!

Only one entered?

[Longy]

I think its too hard and kind of defeats the purpose of reverse sheep. It is a game that benefits from the entertainment point of view, where it is accesible to anyone with average general knowledge. I would say only half the questions at best are appropriate for reverse sheep.

I am possibly bias cos i know sod all about entertainment/movies, swo sadly i will give this miss. As i would have to pass about 4 questions and I don't think many will enter as it stands.

[Claw75]

wanna play some poker?

50 50 huh

[gatso]

think I need 4 passes without googling so sadly I won't be bothering

[Wardonkey]

It's not really about difficulty, a lot of those questions are just unsuitable.

A good RSQ question has at least seven possible answers of which at least one or two would be blindingly obvious to anyone not living in a cave. Then some people more knowledgeable in that particular area will have more answers available to them, perhaps even risking an answer that may fail in search of an ace.

Lose the deductions business. We all pretend that we don't want to win, but we're all trying our best really. We're all willing to set a quiz in order to keep playing in a game we enjoy.

Try again please.

[TightEnd]

I tend to agree with Wardonkey. Some of the questions are too specialist and unsuitable for RSQ in my opinion. For example I'm reasonably quiz literate and I've never heard of Stan Lee or the Parker Brothers. In addition answer 1 with only 5 possible correct answers is not RSQ material. A large part of the skill surely is to get that unique answer, possibly risking fail to do so, and I would think you'd need more than 5 possible answers to provide this element to RSQ.

I think the bonus/deductions idea is unneccesary too

Good luck with it though, See you next week.

[Laxie]

I'll answer the questions as soon as I'm sure of which ones I'm meant to answer.  Is page 1 official now?
