The real RSQ get cracking

[Robert HM]

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.

Like Tight I agree with this. Sorry Billy but it's not a true RSQ.

I echo Wardonkey's sentiments

Here's a link to the 2+2 sticky on reverse sheep the place i took the idea from - http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/59/puzzles-other-games/peehs-sheep-schedule-diary-412017/

Taking from the thread:

Reverse Sheep Rules

This is a rough draught and if anyone wants to make a more comprehensive set of rules post, please do and I'll copy/paste as required.

The basic aim of reverse sheep (often called peehs) is twofold. First it is to answer the question correctly. The second is to pick a corrcet answer that the fewest number of players will also answer. The game is a combination of trivia and levveling.

The ultimate goal is to get a correct uniqe answer, for which you score 1. If you anser a correct answer that 1 other person answers you score 2, etc. The winner is the person to get the lowest overall score.

There are various ways of punisghing incorrect answers, and each peehs op should state their method. Ask in the thread for clarification of anyrthing you don't understand.

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??

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

FML a-team box set not getting an airing this week as i want to win this fing thing

Writing the winners speech at the moment, and thinking about my questions. Not how I wanted to win (because I didn't), and I feel a bit like Jenson Button in the last race.

When is the cut off for entries, when I'm declared the winner?

Dont get too cocky just yet Mr K, I am quietly confident aswell.

(although who the fck Stan Lee is I have no feckin idea, and a question about a specific concert 6 years ago is a bit rediculous)

The T in the Park line up question is pure gold. If i ever become qm, I am going to have a random question about the line up of some student gig i went to in the late 90's.

I have a question now in my draft quiz that says, who did i set next to in 4th year maths at school

[ItsMrAlex2u]

This quiz and previous 2 =

MONUMENTAL FAIL !!C'mon QM's get it together will you please

[HOLDorFOLD]

First one entered, probably the last .......

T in the park - just googled that after my entry and I'm pmsl laughing at what I put now. 

[kinboshi]

Oh, there goes my chance of winning out of the window if other people are entering.

Stan Lee, who? I guessed at that one, no I didn't I took a dive as I didn't have a clue. T in the park, yes I know all about that so plumped for a well known popular beat combo - no idea if it's right or not and can't be arsed to google to check.

Some of the questions are quite good, They're just surrounded by farcicity ^TM.

[Newmanseye]

Guys I do apolgise at the difficulty opf the quiz for some of you, this unfortunately is about as easy as i can make it, useless specialist knowledge is what i do.

I did warn you it would be a "billy" quiz, Atleast it wont be me again next week, we have a heavily contested board at the moment, between ItsMrfarcetoyou and Failboshi with Hold or Fail in close contention with Montado also coming up the rear.

Never question my google antics - cheating on a RSQ is lower than low. 

[Laxie]
