Welcome to Reverse Sheep Quiz 30. As it appears to have died a death (that's what happens when you let Ironside near it), I am having one attempt at resurrecting it.

RULES

There are 20 questions, PM your answers to me as soon as possible, each answer on a separate line please, in order of questions. There is no set date to submit answers by for reasons to be explained below.

Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer. So you want to go for answers that you think will be less commonly given. Levelling commonly happens. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.

If you give an incorrect answer, this will be marked as a FAIL and you will receive the sheep score + one half the number of CORRECT answers given, rounded up.

You MUST pass on one, and only one question, you will receive a score of 0 for that question.

You are not allowed to do ANY research by googling or asking friends or relatives. All answers must come from knowledge you have stored away in your brain!

Any questions to be posted in this thread,

The reveal date + time will be chosen by you, the people. There is a poll at the top of the screen. Vote for your preferred date + time before poll closing time (7.20pm, Tuesday 11th August 2009) and the winning date + time will be the reveal. All answers must be received before 12.01am on the date of the reveal

During the reveal, if you wish to object to an answer, post your objection on the thread with evidence. The objection will be considered fairly, but the QM’s decision will be final.

Should a previous QM be victorious, he/she has the choice to either nominate a new QM or do it themselves.  In the event of a tie at the end of the questions, the winner will be decided on the contestant who has the most Aces.

QUESTIONS

The questions are simple. Even Kellster could understand. I have a list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_member_states#Current_members and there are approximately 190 countries on. Send me a list of countries beginning with each letter of the alphabet. For example:

Country beginning with A
Country beginning with B
Country beginning with C
etc.

Do NOT send me the following: O, Q, W, X, Y, Z, this leaves 20 countries.

The names of countries are in ENGLISH only and will be taken as on that list. There are some surprises, and I can forsee FARCE in certain questions.

ENTRANTS

Its supposed to be easy - this one's all about getting people to play. Last few have seen people not bother because they dont know any answers to half the questions.

Erm....who decided that you were running the RSQ?

I think you'll find I won, and I intend to run the next RSQ and retrieve it from the landfill site in which it has found itself.
