Question 3 isn't a Pointless format question

Such questions were dropped at episode 267 as the contestants found them too hard and replaced with questions of the format in Questions 1 and 2

The answers I would choose would be different depending on what the respondents were asked to do. In Q1, for example, were they were given the questions in this format, were they given the list of five States spelled correctly and asked to select one or were they just asked to name a US State?

Were they ever in that format on pointless? I nicked the idea from only connect.

The 20 were given them in the same format you see here.

Difficult to decide what may be a pointless answer from a list, especialy when you have loads of time to work them out.
This round seems more like a game of chance.
Cant see me surviving to the next round, but I enjoyed it while it lasted.

Time is up for submissions.

12 of you submitted which means 2 of you will be eliminated to leave us 10 going into the next round.

I shall reveal the answers and put up Round 3 tomorrow. I don't want to commit to a time but it should be around about midday.

Only 10 can go through to the next round which means in a surprising result we are losing TightEnd and Tal!

A bit unfortuante for TightEnd and s4ooter on the Ytterbium question. Amusingly if you look it up on wikipedia the first thing it says is "Not to be confused with Yttrium"

Round 3 up very shortly.
