By the way, I know one for sure (the obvious one) and another that I think is right...

This isn't meant to be like a normal quiz, such as a pub quiz. It's an RSQ.
The answers are meant to be obvious to all. It's not the worst one ever, but I think it's going to put off lots of people from entering (
was that the plan?
).
Not originally!
I'm aware of the difference between a normal quiz and an RSQ. However, I assume that the goal is still to reward the players with greater knowledge (as well as tactical nous).
My intention was to have at least a couple of fairly obvious answers for each question, some slightly more obscure and, in some cases, some really obscure ones. If the questions all have 7 obvious answers (e.g. name a colour of the rainbow, a day of the week, a month with 31 days or one of the seven dwarves) then it's just a random guessing game trying to decide what everyone else is going to put. It has already been argued that the square number question is pretty much in that category but I'm going to leave it in.
I'd not seen any of the quizzes prior to Irene's spectacular last week so I think that I may have misjudged my audience. Apologies.
On the plus side, if no-one enters, it should simplify the scoring for me.

she last got divorced 15 years ago and it's longer than that since she was last in a film. why would anyone who isn't old have a clue who she is let alone who she married?

Why do you continue to post in rsq threads gatso? I thought you'd retired? The pre quiz complaining is all part of it so you're breaking your retirement.

I'd say that one of her marriages was the most famous show business marriage of all time so I thought that
everyone
would know that.

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.
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.
8. Name a Nobel Peace prize winner (1990-2010 inclusive).
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.
11. Name one of the nine countries that were part of the European Economic Community in 1973.
12. Give the title of a record by Abba that reached number one in the British charts.
All these questions irked me because I don't know obscure answers to them.
I do know the common answers, or can make an educated guess in the case of Oscars and the EU question so have to concede they are decent RSQ questions.
It certainly is a quizz to seperate the men from the boys. The problem is there's one man (tightend) and the rest of us are boys. We all already know this and have made our peace with the fact, and thus the value of man/boy seperation questions not as much as one might think.
I reckon tightend vs the field is an odds on bet.
Still looking forward to the reveal, and aiming for 2nd place.

The man does make a fair point.
I just wish I knew more.
