RSQ49 - This time it's serious

[MereNovice]

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.

this is awesome. you thought they were all easy except for the eastenders one. lolz

I'd assumed that, since there had already been 48 of these quizzes, that the participants were pretty experienced "quizzers".
My mistake.
I'm determined to try to get something acceptable by 1pm tomorrow though.

I'd also assumed (but didn't want to say) that everyone cheated like feck.

Sharplea resembles that remark.

If one of the questions was " name a reverse sheep quiz master who fully gets and understands the concept of it ?" we would all know that merenovice would have to be marked as a fail. Regrettably i will have another free Tuesday evening.

Assumption number 392.

Having watched the Blonde team on Eggheads, I didn't want to insult your intelligence.

That's a spiffing review.
Most entertaining.

Anyone seen or heard of TRIP5 since last night's debacle?

Will the same fate befall Mere?

Will he get The Tank seal of approval?

[Girgy85]

Wont be entering with those Questions!

That bad?

+1 to acidmouse!!

Pretty much gotta google most of it!!

lol WTF is this.

1. Name a chemical element (with atomic number less than 92) whose name begins with the letter C. Fine by me as most of them are

2. Name a non-American (i.e. born outside the US) poker player that won a WSOP bracelet in 2010 (events 1 to 57).

3. Name a film that has been nominated for more than 9 Oscars. Could guess but

4. Name a player who was in England's squad at the start of the current Cricket World Cup.

5. Name a husband of the actress Elizabeth Taylor.

6. Name a female tennis player who has won a Grand Slam singles title since (and including) 2000. Fine

7. Give a whole integer square number between 101 and 300. Fine, but not exactly an RSQ question. It boilds down to pick a random number between 1..n

8. Name a Nobel Peace prize winner (1990-2010 inclusive). Prob fine, me personally:

9. Name a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice (where they are the major credited composer and lyricist) that has run in the West End. Unless some of his BBC one things share name...

10. Name a (British) avoirdupois measure of weight. A what??

11. Name an American state that begins with the letter 'M'. We had this like 2 weeks ago

12. Give the title of a record by Abba that reached number one in the British charts. Fine

Fix please

I'm not exactly sure what the emoticon that you've used signifies but I'm guessing that it means that you're perplexed by the questions?

Are you seriously saying that you can't think of a few non-American poker players who won a WSOP bracelet last year?

[Cf]

oh, that was supposed to be three question marks - didn't realise it did that lol

Actually yeah, just realised the obvious answer to the WSOP one. Yeah, that's fine.

[Girgy85]

Yea we can but the rest are tosh so sort them out!!

[MereNovice]

Yea we can but the rest are tosh so sort them out!!

I'm happy with them pending further feedback.
If the American states question has been asked recently I'll replace that one.

[TommyD]

Sad indictment on myself but I can give several answers for all but one question.  In fact I can see the obvious answers, the risky ones and some traps.  Personally I think they are a cracking set.  I'll wait until tomorrow to send in my answers as these appear to be subject to change.

Positives from this - I feel confident in this RSQ

Negatives from this - I think like Mere.
