Guess the number - Quiz 8

[KarmaDope]

Managed to find some questions, so here we go.

1. Rebecca Redfern, daughter of our own AMRN/Swimdad, won gold at the 2019 Para World Championships in the Womens 100m Breaststroke SB13. In seconds, what was the winning time in the final (rounded down).
2. 6 bowlers have taken more than 500 wickets in their Test Match career (Warne, Murali, Anderson, McGrath, Kumble and Walsh). How many Test Match wickets have they taken combined?
3. Swindon Town hold an unwanted record in the Premier League. Obviously its for largest number of goals conceded, but how many did they actually concede over the course of their only season?
4. The Grand National should have taken place last weekend but thanks to Coronavirus, it was cancelled. 3 years ago it took place on my birthday, which is 8th April. One for Arthur won the race, but how long did it take the horse to complete the course in seconds?
5. Lewis Hamilton is the current F1 World Champion, but how many F1 races has he actually officially entered in his F1 career?
6. The WSOP is the pinnacle of poker events, apparently. Hint, it's not, but obscene numbers of people attend every year. Anyway, in 2019, Robert Campbell was crowned WSOP Player of the Year. How many points (rounded down) did he score to win?
7. Michael Van Gerwen (who else?) holds the record for the highest ever televised average in Darts. What is it (rounded down).
8. Ronnie O'Sullivan holds the current record for largest number of Ranking Titles won in Snooker (including minors). How many is this?
9. Sir Mo Farah won the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2016 Olympics. If you subtract the time he won the 5k from the time he won the 10k, what is the difference in minutes?
10. Ronan O'Gara is the current all time highest points scorer for the Ireland Rugby Union team. How many points did he score in international matches for Ireland?

Question 1

Rebecca Redfern, daughter of our own AMRN/Swimdad, won gold at the 2019 Para World Championships in the Womens 100m Breaststroke SB13. In seconds, what was the winning time in the final (rounded down).

Rebecca stormed the final, winning in a time of 1 minute, 14.73 seconds which, rounded down, is 74 seconds, a full 1.41 seconds ahead of the American in second.

Your answers were:

Tighty   70   4
Doobs   85   11
bunnydas8888   118   44
rubbish2407   75   1
Nirvana   120   46
Dacorb   55   19
Scotty   50   24
arbboy   90   16
stribling   70   4
robbiebox   71   3
Karabiner   179   105
sonour   85   11
Ironside   1   73
Pokerpops   80   6
celtic   34   40
Juperjiper   113   39

Which means, after 1 round, the table looks like:

rubbish2407   1
robbiebox   3
Tighty   4
stribling   4
Pokerpops   6
Doobs   11
sonour   11
arbboy   16
Dacorb   19
Scotty   24
Juperjiper   39
celtic   40
bunnydas8888   44
Nirvana   46
Ironside   73
Karabiner   105

Question 2

6 bowlers have taken more than 500 wickets in their Test Match career (Warne, Murali, Anderson, McGrath, Kumble and Walsh). How many Test Match wickets have they taken combined?

Right. The totals are as follows:

Muralitharan - 800
Warne - 708
Kumble - 619
Anderson - 584 (as of this post)
McGrath - 563
Walsh - 519

Which adds up to a healthy 3,793 wickets according to my maths.

You lot put:

Tighty   3300   493
Doobs   4100   307
bunnydas8888   3950   157
rubbish2407   3800   7
Nirvana   3900   107
Dacorb   3400   393
Scotty   4700   907
arbboy   3050   743
stribling   3750   43
robbiebox   4245   452
Karabiner   3879   86
sonour   3800   7
Ironside   2   3791
Pokerpops   3700   93
celtic   5467   1674
Juperjiper   4567   774

And I'm starting to work out Ironside's cunning plan to guarantee last...

Anyway, table looks like this:

rubbish2407   8
sonour   18
stribling   47
Pokerpops   99
Nirvana   153
Karabiner   191
bunnydas8888   201
Doobs   318
Dacorb   412
robbiebox   455
Tighty   497
arbboy   759
Juperjiper   813
Scotty   931
celtic   1714
Ironside   3864
