So the answers to the big questions by committee would be:
It is correct to keep your Ketchup in the Cupboard!
Vanilla is the best flavour of ice cream!
Muhammad  Ali was a better boxer than Mike Tyson!
Ready Salted is the most appropriate crisp flavour for a dad to eat.!
Ketchup is better than brown sauce on a bacon sandwich!
The Beatles are the best band of all time!
Coke is better than Pepsi!
Tea is better than coffee!
George Best was a better footballer than Ryan Giggs!

The World Cup is better than the Olympics!
Tesco is the best supermarket!
40 + (40 x 0) + 1 = 41!
(40 + 40) x 0 + 1 = 1!
40 + 40 x (0 + 1) = 80!
40 + 40 x 0 + 1 = 41!
When balancing tables in a poker tournament it is best to move the Big Blind!

HOWEVER, the purpose of this sheep quiz was to establish a forum sage, to have the casting vote on any question. I was personally routing for either Geo The Sarge, so that the answer to any maths question was Numberwang. Ironically, it was the maths questions themselves that plummeted Geo down the rankings.

I would also have been happy with anyone going for Queen as the best band of all time, or even istrabraq so that Salt N Shake became the default bag of crisps for all dads.

As it was though, Redsgirl took it down.
That means her answers now become correct by default.
Most are unchanged from the majority decision
It is correct to keep your Ketchup in the Cupboard!
CHOCOLATE is the best flavour of ice cream!
Muhammad  Ali was a better boxer than Mike Tyson!
Ready Salted is the most appropriate crisp flavour for a dad to eat!
Ketchup is better than brown sauce on a bacon sandwich!
The Beatles are the best band of all time!
Coke is better than Pepsi!
Tea is better than coffee!
George Best was a better footballer than Ryan Giggs!
The World Cup is better than the Olympics!
Tesco is the best supermarket!
40 + (40 x 0) + 1 = 41!
(40 + 40) x 0 + 1 = 1!
40 + 40 x (0 + 1) = 80!
40 + 40 x 0 + 1 = 1! (Gutted, BODMAS is now no longer valid. If only Geo had won)
When balancing tables in a poker tournament it is best to move the Big Blind!

From henceforth, should any argument become locked, Redsgirl will settle it with her sage opinion on the subject.

Now that she has that power, I wonder if she’ll change her answer to any of the above.

Redsgirl, any alterations?

Oh an I’m glad we didn’t need the tie-breaker because there was very little repetition.
I was expecting a lot more Stephen Frys, David Attenborough, Jesus, Christopher Hitchens (no votes)

Ladies and gentlemen, your three dinner guests from all humanity, alive or dead are:
Elizabeth I, Winston Churchill and Jesus.
A fine selection.

Other votes were
3 for Cf (all cast by himself)
2 each for Nelson Mandela, Tikay, Gazza and Mantis
Then 1 vote each for:
Noel Gallagher
Frankie From S Club
Tom Brady
Peter Ustinov

I’m going to deal with questions 12-15 all together.
Taking into account the order of operations, the “correct” answers would be 41, 1, 80, 41
Numberwang is also an acceptable answer to any maths question.

40 + 40 x 0 + 1
BODMAS
any brackets to do? no
Any overs (powers)? no
Division? no
Multiplicateion? YES. 40 x 0 so you do it. = 0
addition? yes add the 40 and 1 = 41
subtraction? no

however, you're sage, so it you want it to be 1, 41 or numberwang, that's your choice

Question 3
BOXING - Ali or Tyson?
..........

I’m surprised it was a clear cut as that.
Only 1 person thought a prime Tyson would beat a prime Ali.

Eh? Where does it say that was the question?
