RSQ - Will the sweet man leave a sour taste?

[smashedagain]

Hollandaise sauce is staying. You have two passes don't forget

what do you mean pass two? You may as well set 25 questions and pass 13.
Has anyone actually sent any answers in yet. Sort of regretting not waiting for Kinboshi's quiz now.

"Hello? Is that Who Wants to be a Millionnaire? Yes, hello. I'm due to be on your show in a few days, but I never know any of the answers after the 50k mark, so could you change those ones to ones I might know, please? Thanks."

Putting it another way, it doesn't matter what you put down. Right or wrong, someone will object and it'll be excluded.

People put perfectly clever answers like TINF as a type of oil used in cooking and they kick it out.

i am with you there brother. But you got to accept that people don't always understand genius and have to carry on regardless. Poor old tightend has had his celebratory 10th RSQ win questions written and ready for months. It was great keeping him off his tenth win but I do feel Laxie went a bit far two weeks ago. I can't see Tighty playing ever again

He's been busy with stuff lately, but surely he's not seriously banned himself from the RSQ.  That would just be silly.  Besides, this is the perfect one for his return.  None of the rest of us have a fecking clue what answers to give.

No point - this QM is liable to change the questions again at any time.

I can't enter. The questions are far too specialist imo. Let's bring back the old question by question review:

1) Name a current Premier league football manager.

Fine.

2) A TV comedy series starring both Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer.

Sounds like it should be fine. I've heard of them but never watched any of their stuff and I think slightly before my time so no idea.

3) A root vegetable

Fine.

4) An ingredient in Hollandaise Sauce.

Fine.

5) A country that shares a border with Luxembourg.

Fine. Although if I'm right I think it's a very limited answer set. Not necessarily a problem. Strategical passing ftw.

6) A species of penguin.

WTF. This can't be common knowledge? I've got no idea. None whatsoever. Just had a look on wikipedia to see if I was being dense but nope, never heard of any of them.

7) A poker player with two thirds of a triple crown (ie has won exactly two of the three main accolades in torunament poker, WPT title, WSOP bracelet, EPT title).

I know this is a poker site but that's far too niche. I can think of 1. Anyone else would be a guess.

8 ) A Baseball team that has won the World Series in the past 50 years (1962-present).

I'd be guessing here. I can think of quite a few baseball teams but whether they've won or not is another matter. Presumably most of them have hence i've heard of them but still...

9) A county that borders Staffordshire.

Not fine. We've already had one geography question. And whilst I have a rough idea of where Staffordshire is I don't have a county map imprinted on my brain. Countries is a bit fairer for this as people are more familiar with the world map.

10) A species of bear.

Fine.

11) A James Bond film.

Fine. Farce potential too which is good.

12) One of the states of the USA ending with the letter "A".

Fine.

13) A top 40 hit by "ABBA".

Fine.

14) The name of someone who made the final table of either the 2007 or 2008 WSOP Main Event Final Table (official final table only, i.e. only 18 correct answers).

Not fine. Again, we've already had a poker question. But unless you follow the world series then there's no reason you should know this. I think there was 1 certain high profile player but it's a bit of a guess that it was those years and not 09 or 10.

15) Picture round: Choose a type of facial hair from the following list:

Fine.

So i'd say strip questions 6/7/9/14 and you've got a more manageable 11 question quiz where people can be confident about entering. Question 2 i'm not sure about, but for others Question 8 will be a struggle. Keep the 2 passes though and it's fine

[TightEnd]

Are these REALLY the questions?

Can you answer them?  If so, you're sure to win.  If not, make him change the lot because we're all screwed.

1) Name a current Premier league football manager.

Fine.

Why would that be fine? There's already a football quiz on Blonde for the footballphiles. I only know the two most famous ones and the one who's always in trouble. And there's an Italian whose name might come to me. Choice of 3.

Far too niche.

I can just about, but Ben, from Stoke, makes the mistake of assuming that everyone is knowledgeable about things local  to him like Staffordshire, the M6

The two poker questions are very tough.

Ben's a good lad though. Unlike that MintTrav QM, who would not spot an Immortal Jellyfish if it swam alongside him and said boo.

Giving something a name doesn't make it so. A slow worm isn't slow. Or a worm. Anteaters don't eat ants. Immortal Jellyfish aren't made of jelly, they're not fish and, most of all, they ain't ifeckingmortal.

Nah, that's fine. At the end of the day certain topics just aren't your thing. But as long as the question is general enough people can give an answer then it's ok. So as you say, there's 3 you can choose from, or pass. If the question was say "Name someone who has managed Charlton in the last 20 years" then by all means complain.

They can live for 100 years tho.

Given the grief that Sweetman's taking already, it was probably a wise decision to disallow it, MintTrav, so thanks

No chance, I know that one. In fact, I can think of two, both with the same first name. Is that going to be one of the questions?
