RSQ 76- there's a FARCE-t time for everything

[JK]

Wiiiii!

[Longines]

Feck me, for someone who can spot a twonk who passed too many questions you're now doing a pretty good impression of someone who's hard of reading:

Finswimming is the only sport in this group included within the family of sports regulated by the International Olympic Committee.

Oh all right. I'm such a soft touch.

Any more objections? I want to get up to 4 up to date before we approach the massive controversy that is Question 5.

There is a swim in the modern pentathalon, but it comes under a different sport banner in the Olympics, so it's not the same as Swimming, above.

Powerboating is not an Olympic sport, but it's governing body is recognised by the IOC.

Question 4:

Name a type of Poker you can choose at the Dealer's Choice game at Dusk till Dawn (to clarify- they have a list of games on plastic plaques attached to a keyring- I want a game that is on that list.)

Now here is where it gets really controversial.

According to Tom the floorman, Hold Em isn't on the keyring, although you can play it. Also, a load of people have put No Limit Hold'em, when all the games in DC are Pot Limit. So the failtastic answers are:

3pts
milligan84, rhinoass, Sheriff Fatman   Omaha 8

1pts
cambridgealex   Stud

Longines   456 Omaha
JK   Stud 8

No, Superstud is another right answer that wasn't taken.

[Skippy]

Wow, the internet hasn't exploded. Let's escape to 5:

5. Name a city in the UK that has at least one tram line. Not the Croydon Tramlink- I can't be bothered to work out whether any of the bits it goes through counts as a city.

Right answers as far as I'm concerned:

Manchester
Sheffield
Nottingham
Edinburgh- they're being built
Birmingham
Wolverhampton

Blackpool does have trams but isn't a city.

[JK]

Super stud has a card selection at the start, ie your dealt 5 starting cards. You discard 2, put 2 down, 1 up. It then continues the same as stud 8.

Stud 8 you just get dealt 2 down 1 up. Its pretty much why nobody ever plays stud 8/stud, theyre just crap versions of super stud
