RSQ49 - This time it's serious

[kinboshi]

Some excellent questions, some dodgy questions, and some ridiculous ones tbh.

The idea is that virtually everyone (everyone except Laxie and TRIP) will be able to give a couple of answers to every question, and the art for entrants is picking a non-sheep answer using nth level thinking.  Sometimes questions will have a discrete set of answers (such as "Name a planet in the solar system), that most will know all the answers to (and some will even go for Pluto and the fail) - and the art is to pick the least obvious one (or maybe the most obvious one).

Others will have more answers, but not everyone will know many of the answers.  Sometimes there might be an option to 'gamble' and go for a risky answer, rather than the obvious (but sheepy) one.

All the questions should be really easy to answer, the skill is picking an answer that no one else picks and for that reason it fails.

With the exception of the Eastenders question, that's what I thought that I had done.
Misjudgement by me, obv.

4. Name an English football team in the top four divisions (I don't know the collective name for these any more) whose name starts and ends with the same letter. (2-3 possible answers?)


4 possible answers I think

Hate to complain, as I appreciate Mr Novice's efforts here..but that doesn't make it a good RSQ question. Just some friendly advice.

Yoder?

A character whom to I am often admiringly compared, in Star Trek he was, a famous film.

I thought that a couple of easy answers was exactly how I'd pitched it with a chance for people with a bit more knowledge of any particular question to pick something a little more obscure.
I'm guessing by the feedback so far that I'm a little wide of the mark.

I like the feel of the questions tbh and small tweak with different wordings and it be perfect.

I hate rsq. mere has set questions, that I don't know the answers to, and has used some words I don't even the meaning of.

And for that reason I'm IN!

Happy to remove it.
I was sure that there used to be about seven but four appears to be closer to the mark.
Whatever happened to York City?

I'm happy to adjust the questions.

Perhaps people could post the numbers for the questions (if any) that they feel are suitable/reasonable.
If there any that receive general approval I'll keep them.
I'll consider replacing everything else.

Keep the feedback coming.

Farce, this is.

[MereNovice]

Farce, this is.

I knew you'd like it.

[MereNovice]

Questions 4 and 11 have been changed.
I am happy to keep changing the questions (within reason) if a concensus is achieved.
