RSQ49 - This time it's serious

[MereNovice]

...and if anyone doesn't know another answer?  They might as well not enter.

If they don't know another answer (which would surprise me) they should go with the obvious answer to this question or back their best hunch for a non-obvious answer. Alternatively they could gamble that there will be no score greater than one for the other question they don't know and take a wild guess assuming that the worst they will score is six. Lots of things to consider basically. As this is the 49th RSQ on this forum (if the numbering was sequential starting from one) I guess participants will have honed their tactics to a fine edge by now.

She was great in Cleopatra and her co-star was a hunk of the time *wink*

Are you sure you're not confusing her with Amanda Barrie?

This is all well and good, but if there's a question you don't know the answer to the tactical edge goes completely out of the window as you are forced into which question you're passing.

Your new questions are generally better. I'd argue the cricket one isn't particulary great (i sometimes think cricket fans misunderestimate how completely unintersting others find their sport...). I can manage it but can see others struggling.

But the Elizabeth Hurley one... it's all well and good saying surely everyone knows this, and there's at least one obvious answer... but please consider that for quite a few of us on here she was simply before our time. Looking through her list of films i've heard of some of them but never watched them. And considering her last marriage was when I was 6 years old I don't understand how i'm expected to know the names of her husbands. I asked my mate who's much more into films than I am. He'd heard of her and was aware she'd been married a few times but didn't know any of the names.

I stand by my comment that one of her marriages is the most famous show business marriage of all time.
I accept that I misjudged my audience for that particular question (but you're stuck with it) - I thought that most people would know of at least one of the others.

I'm not going to rise to the bait with regard to cricket. The World Cup is currently being played daily and there are 15 players to chose from.
I have no particular interest in football but I would accept that I may be in a minority.

Not a hint of a headache (for me, anyway).

I'm just worried for Tighty who has submitted his answers already and I've still got ten minutes left to change the questions before the deadline I set.

I cannot imagine you are considering being mischievious, & having some sport with his Tight-ness......

[MereNovice]

The deadline has passed.
It is now too late to change any of the questions.

Any whinging between now and 8pm Tuesday is purely for entertainment value.
Enjoy.
