RSQ 20 - Like a hippo in a sh1t house.... its ruined

[HOLDorFOLD]

Question 12 has just been amended.

The entrants who have already sent in answers have been PM'd giving them the opportunity to keep or amend their answer to this question.

eh?  why have you changed it?  Question was fine as it was, and I would estimate that 10 potential answers have now been reduced to about 3!!!!

Changed it for purely selfish reasons at reveal - to make my life easier.   Actually increases the amount of possible answers, plus has a more defiinitive pass/fail answer.

[gatso]

can someone please pm me with a clue as to who glenn miller is. is he some old bloke?

He would be old, very old, if he was alive.

beethoven old or elvis old?

beethoven old or elvis old?

Closer to the latter.

really - very surprised tbh.  I'll stick with my original answer anyway.

Gatso re glenn miller - that's the question we're supposed to use our pass on I think.

[G1BTW]

I've kept my original answer as i had researched after giving in my answers.

Also never heard of Glenn Miller - is he a whiskey?

You've probably heard the music though. I feckin looove it. Ultra sheep question though :s
Decent rsq. I think. Bring back the farce!

Glenn Miller features a lot in my parents house - grew up with his music being played continually.  This has not changed, My 8 year old sat through the Glenn Miller Story (twice - he passed on the 3rd running which was all in the same day lol).

It's like Marmite, you love it or hate - I love it 

[Claw75]

I'll stick with my original answer anyway.

[  ] good move
[X] was a pass
[  ] still a pass
[  ] there are now more correct answers

[Claw75]

oh, nearly forgot the last one...



[X] Farce!!!

at least everyone knows what marmite is

Hello

Some clarifications please

Q5 you want the colour of the "set" of three properties?

Q8. You mean the Glenn Miller Band? Not sure he had too many solo songs

Q4. You mean a band with a number in its name? Because if its numerals ie XI, V, XIII etc we might be here quite a long time



After all,in a positional  numeral system (with b a positive natural number known as the radix), b basic symbols (or digits) corresponding to the first b natural numbers including zero are used. To generate the rest of the numerals, the position of the symbol in the figure is used. The symbol in the last position has its own value, and as it moves to the left its value is multiplied by b.

For example, in the decimal system (base 10), the numeral 4327 means (4×103) + (3×102) + (2×101) + (7×100), noting that 100 = 1.

In general, if b is the base, we write a number in the numeral system of base b by expressing it in the form anbn + an − 1bn − 1 + an − 2bn − 2 + ... + a0b0 and writing the enumerated digits anan − 1an − 2 ... a0 in descending order. The digits are natural numbers between 0 and b − 1, inclusive.

If a text (such as this one) discusses multiple bases, and if ambiguity exists, the base (itself represented in base 10) is added in subscript to the right of the number, like this: numberbase. Unless specified by context, numbers without subscript are considered to be decimal.

By using a dot to divide the digits into two groups, one can also write fractions in the positional system. For example, the base-2 numeral 10.11 denotes 1×21 + 0×20 + 1×2−1 + 1×2−2 = 2.75.

In general, numbers in the base b system are of the form:

    (a_na_{n-1}\cdots a_1a_0.c_1 c_2 c_3\cdots)_b = \sum_{k=0}^n a_kb^k + \sum_{k=1}^\infty c_kb^{-k}.

The numbers bk and b−k are the weights of the corresponding digits. The position k is the logarithm of the corresponding weight w, that is k = logbw = logbbk. The highest used position is close to the order of magnitude of the number.

The number of tally marks required in the unary numeral system for describing the weight would have been w. In the positional system the number of digits required to describe it is only k + 1 = logbw + 1, for k \ge 0. E.g. to describe the weight 1000 then 4 digits are needed since log101000 + 1 = 3 + 1. The number of digits required to describe the position is logbk + 1 = logblogbw + 1 (in positions 1, 10, 100... only for simplicity in the decimal example).


and I don't think you meant to imply that in your question. Lovely lady, but you don't go that deep I would contend.

Could be worse

could be Tikay old

Oh new tack here, not shouting "Farce" no direct insults but, instead, just patronising.

[Cf]

I'm not entirely sure what the monopoly question is asking for... are you just after a colour?

And wtf is Glenn Miller? There goes my pass lol.

The fact that I play Pints Make Prizes far too much has saved me on a few of these

[Claw75]

OMG - just seen QM's source for amended question 12.  Dont go out on Thursday people - this is shaping up to be the biggest farce to date!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[X] I still fail

sigh, Tighty Tighty Tighty - no one likes a smart arse - no matter how deep you may go 


Glenn Miller Band - OK smarty pants - I'll give you that one (pendants of the world unite)

Monopoly Question - I asked for a 'set' you can buy (not an individual property/road name) - so yes the sets include colours and colours can be given.   Hope this helps.  (I also apologise to Traffic jam for this question - just reading the word monopoly will probably put you on life tilt - eek).
