Unashamedly simple. No tricks, no fancy scoring, two passes, just a simple RSQ that I am confident will meet the G2L standard.
The score for each question is the number of people who give that answer.
The most popular answer is the sheep.
Incorrect answers receive the sheep score plus 5 points.
Lowest score wins.
Using Google, wiki, or other research is not allowed.
You may choose to pass up to two questions and will receive 0 points for that question.
I am a tolerant quiz master and will not penalise poor spelling or other similar errors, although if my mood is bad at reveal time I reserve the right to be an awkward sod.
You must PM your answers to me by no later than 1800 on Monday 3 March wit the reveal at some time around 2000 that evening.
1 name an original member of Westlife, Boyzone or The Spice Girls
2 name a deciduous tree that is native to the UK (as defined by The Woodland Trust)
3 pick a year since 1914 in which there was a UK General Election
4 and now, a TV Chef who has had a BBC series since 2000 which had their name in the title. Programmes first shown before 2000 and subsequently repeated don't count.
5 a country that has won the Eurovision Song Contest
6 a country whose flag appears on Tikay's Hendon Mob
7 a football club that has won the FA Cup more than three times
8 a UK theme park in the Top 10 as listed by The independent in August 2013 (easier than it sounds, at least 8 of the Top 10 are pretty obvious)
9 a breed of Hound as defined by The Kennel Club
10 a pocket pair, no suits required.
That's all folks - I've done my best to make this a series of questions to which everyone has a strong chance of knowing more than one answer.
Good luck all

Must remember to enter this.
Dont think we need 2 passes for this one though. Surely being able to pass 20% of the questions is going too far...

Even though you didn't win the last RSQ, overall, this is a good RSQ.  |

I like it. Tactical passing ftw. Altho I don't think you should be allowed to pass the last couple as its a bit boring when someone has won before the last question is revealed. And Altho I did it myself I don't think I'm a fan of a "random" last question. |
