Guess the number - Sporting quiz #4- Ridiculously hard edition

[arbboy]

Do you know roughly what time you'll be doing the reveal?

I did say early evening so I'll give it an hour or so. Just waiting on Arb to send me his workings out down by carrier pigeon. 15 of us so far. Start about 4 ish?

Pigeon is in lockdown self isolating.  No can do.

[Ironside]

i think i might win this

[Rubbish2407]

Ok, might as well start it off as can't see anyone else entering now.

Ironside had an unique set of answers, all 2,000. Amazingly he hasn't come last.

I've left question 4 until last as that was the one with the most variance other than someone who will remain anon for now.

Can't seem to copy and paste from excel so apologies if the tables look messed up.

Was surprised at the answers for the first question as Tiger was pretty unstoppable between 1997 and 2009.

1. How many weeks has Tiger Woods been ranked World number 1?

Answer 683 weeks

[Rubbish2407]

As someone pointed out at an early stage, Tal would walk this one and he did. One of only two correct answers for the entire quiz. I guess this is one where you either know it or don't. Early leader Karabiner obviously didn't.

3. Neymar's transfer fee from Barcelona to PSG is the highest ever. How many million in Pounds sterling?

An unbelievable £198,000,000

Wearing my Arsenal tinted glasses for a second, if that clown is worth that much then how much would the greatest Footballer to have graced a pitch, Lee Dixon, have been worth in his prime?

Congrats to Juperjiper for the second and last correct answer.

Ironside extremely lucky this was rounded up.
