The head to head round will consist of 3 questions. You will take it in turns to supply your answer. Post your answer to this thread. Obviously you can't choose the same answer as each other. Once you have both given your answer I will reveal the scores.
As Ironside has played best so far (total of 69 vs 78) he gets to go first.
Let's play the Head to Head.

Well my luck ran out. WP boys  Thought sharplea was unlucky though, having a pointless answer and going out. Really suprised that Roald Dahl wrote a Bond, I shall have to read it now! |

Everyone is still free to post  As for time limits on the head to head there isn't any. But the quicker the questions get answered the quicker I can give the results and put up the next question. |

Been away, apologies!!
Ill play this out like the TV stages.......
Here goes:
Im guessing the title should have been post-1900s US Presidents, and im pretty confident i know them all.
Ill talk you through the board.
a) T R = Teddy Roosevelt
b) H H = Herbert Hoover (and the winner for this round i think - gg Ironside)
c) H T - Harry Trueman
d) B O - Barack Obama
e) R N - Richard Nixon
Im gonna have to hope that for some reason the people asked knew Hoover but i will go for
HARRY TRUEMAN

Hello I'm Alexander Armstrong reporting exclusively for blondepoker from my holiday.
Ironside has gone for Herbert Hoover. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it:
20
19
18
17
16
15
14
13
12
11
10
9
8
7
6
5
4
4. 4 for Herbert Hoover. A tough act to follow.
s4ooter has gone for Harry Truman. I have a feeling this could be close. Let's see, how many people said it?
20
19
18
17
16
15
14
13
12
11
10
9
8
7
6
5
5!
So after one question Ironside is up one nil. Richard.
Excellent answers guys. Best two on the board. Let's take a look at all of them. s4ooter has given us them all actually. Suprisingly low scoring round this. A lot of our 20 didn't know their U.S. presidents.
a) T R = Theodore Roosevelt (7)
b) H H = Herbert Hoover (4)
c) H T = Harry Truman (5)
d) B O = Barack Obama (12)
e) R N = Richard Nixon (10)Barack Obama only scored 12?Yeah, as I said quite low. Maybe they were so busy trying to think of past presidents they didn't think of the current one.Thank you very much indeed Richard. Ok, your second question is:Question 2 - Victoria Corena) Engaged to this comic. b) Name of book describing attempt to make a porn movie. c) Hosts this BBC4 game show. d) Won this leg of the European Poker Tour. (Year not required) e) Name of father. And this time s4ooter, you get to go first. |
