just be grateful it's only cost you yorkshire people one extra point instead of the 5 extra you'd have got if the scoring was, ahem, perfect.
Do explain? my mistake - 4 extra. the sheep score is 6 so the fail score should be worked out on that basis. If the sheep score is 6 then Yorkshire score 6. They CAN'T score 6 because they have to get the FAIL score. How can they get 2 separate scores in the same question? |

its not supposed to be trick questions, u had to do the quiz again coz u failed to grasp basic concepts of this..dont put everyone off it again.
it wasnt supposed to be. I mis-worded the question and Gatso called me out on it. If you mis word the question you should mark it according to how you actually worded it, not how you intended to. Like I did in my quiz on the one question this applied to. |

Please tell me why an historic county can't exist? Historic towns exist. The historic town of Colchester exists.
they can exist, it's just that yorkshire as a single entity doesn't The historical counties still exist in several guises - just not administratively |

They CAN'T score 6 because they have to get the FAIL score. How can they get 2 separate scores in the same question? no - they get the fail score. 6+half the number of distinct answers. the fact that the sheep score is 6 does not necessarily mean that score has to be given. |

Like I did in my quiz on the one question this applied to. No, because unlike you I admit to my mistakes in the original question. I originally thought Yorkshire and Sussex were right. Then I looked again. There are no MP's for Yorkshire or Sussex - there ARE MP's from North Yorkshire and East Sussex though. |
