The FMCU Forum Quiz 2012!

[AK22]

Just sent mine. Some good questions, but slightly easier this week IMO.

Well done to deltablue :smartarse:

[Nottingham Forest]

Sent mine, found it easier, however, one question was really bugging me and I should know it .

[HotChocolate]

I think it was more or less as challenging as last week, it's how I try and make it anyway.

Looks like I'll be getting some tough questions for next week

[ManUTactician247]

I thought I was coming last, so a sigh of relief from me.

Look forward to answering these ones

[rancer890]

Sent through pm. I probably failed it for real this time.

[AK22]

Not that I'm complaining, just my thoughts. As Chris Tarrant would say, 'It's only easy if you know the answer'

I'll look like a right pillock if I only get two points now

[Flamers]

Or even worse, 1

[deltablue]

Wow! The Adelaide one was a complete guess, plus was unsure about the last coke one. Actually got lucky as I initially put down the beaten finalists for the FA cup question before soon realizing as I didn't send immediately. Just glad that my question isn't on the end of my West Brom stint as I had a feeling it would be. Round 2 looks much tougher.

[Deisler26]

That Doctor Who one is a doozie. Wondering what answer he'll give...

[deltablue]

I'll be well annoyed if the answer isn't as it should be, especially after showing off by naming them all. That said definitely dropped a couple this time, didn't know the Cahill one would you believe?

[MattSpurs94]

Sent my answers over PM

[Deisler26]

Technically there are many, many, many people who have played the Doctor but they are spin-offs of Doctor Who and not actually Doctor Who so the answer I'm looking for is the well known number. (The number that Matt Smith is).

I disagree. There is the one from the two films. That's an important continuity. If not, then you should have reworded it! I'm putting it to the Quiz Omsbudsman!

[malikoi]

Hahaha I am amazing!

[hursty2]

If I were to guess how many I got right this week, I'd probably put it around the 5 points mark.

This week is definitely a harder set of questions.

[SnakeXe]

I'll be well annoyed if the answer isn't as it should be, especially after showing off by naming them all. That said definitely dropped a couple this time, didn't know the Cahill one would you believe?

Transfer fee questions are a bit ambiguous though because they're mostly undisclosed fees that the press will guess at. For example, Jonas Gutierrez joined Newcastle and the press were quoting fees in the £11m bracket. When the financial results were eventually published for that year they showed there was no transfer fee as he moved under the Webster rule, him buying out his contract for a few million euro offset by a more generous signing on fee from us.

Edit: Cahill's fee is indeed officially undisclosed.

I did say for last weeks question I check every answer and if I can find some truth to it from any (legit) website I will accept the answers.

If the question is more 'open' then I'll be more 'lenient' with the answers. If that makes sense.

Sorry, should have made that much clearer.

I want an answer on my Dr. Who question! I get quite competitive about this!

Fair enough, you are the all-powerful Quiz Master so totally happy to accept your judgement on answers! Just an interesting potential ambiguity as you could argue there's no incorrect answer to that question since the answer is unknown beyond educated guesswork.

Also, when did most transfer fees start being undisclosed? It used to be rare but nowadays almost every transfer on the SSN ticker has "Undisc." next to it.

[HotChocolate]

You will have to wait and till Tuesday to find out, I wouldn't want to give any clues to anyone

[Nobby_McDonald]

[pedantry]
Wanderers was never a football club, it was The Wanderers.
Eminem's real name is Marshall Mathers III and not Marshall Mathers who is a different person altogether.
Sealand is not a recognised country.
People need docking points.
[/pedantry]

[deltablue]

I got the 'III' bit.

[HotChocolate]

Nobby stop being pedantic.

Thought you weren't one for full football names anyway?

And some people put Marshall Mathers II so it would have been incredibly harsh to mark them down wrong for that.

[deltablue]

And some people put Marshall Mathers II so it would have been incredibly harsh to mark them down wrong for that.

Hear Hear (though technically that would be 'Jr'), generally I approve of a slightly open approach to answers, even those where as someone knowledgable on the subject (Doctor Who) I know there's only 1 'true' answer so won't mind if others are also allowed.

[SnakeXe]

Wanderers was never a football club, it was The Wanderers.

Wanderers Association Football and Social Club, according to my extensive research*.

*Wikipedia'd it.

Nope, it's okay. I got them, just completely forgot to write down your score.

[hursty2]

Can't wait to see how badly I did.

[SnakeXe]

Is it bad that I was eating my breakfast and thought to myself: "Excellent, quiz day today!"

[deltablue]

Is it bad that I was eating my breakfast and thought to myself: "Excellent, quiz day today!"

Nope, I always think about how it's almost time as Tuesday approaches, and how everything will be up when I'm home from college in the evening, especially before the first day but also applies to since.

[kris0710]

So deltablue is still on top but ssestig is making life hard with a last minute entry of the full 12 points meaning I've got to change the bonus question! Although I have highlight Flamers who had a strong start last week with 9pts but seemed to be all over the place this week with just 2pts!

[SnakeXe]

I'm nicely poised in mid-table, just off the playoff places

[HotChocolate]

Bury Town (Flamers) – Even if you do wish he managed them, it wasn’t the best guess in the World was it?

Pluto missing Earth (kris0710) – You put 8 planets down but one of them wasn’t Earth!?

Named ALL of the 11 Doctors (deltablue) – Because he’s a know it all when it comes to Doctor Who! Fortunately he got his bonus question right.

Mike Something (hursty2) – Not even Mike I’m afraid, began with an M though.

Sweden and Norway (Pangaea) – The African Cup of Nations, hence African not Scandinavian!

Gabon & Guinea (Deisler26) – So close but it’s Equatorial Guinea not Guinea, they are 2 different countries.

[Deisler26]

I'd like to quibble one question? The 1998 Best Picture Oscar didn't go to Titanic, the 1997 one did.

[SnakeXe]

Haha oh dear Flamers! That's pretty special from kris as well but I won't crow too much as I know I'll put something utterly imbecilic for the next set of questions.

[SnakeXe]

I'd like to quibble one question? The 1998 Best Picture Oscar didn't go to Titanic, the 1997 one did.

It was 1998, the 1997 one was The English Patient.

Edit: To be honest I thought it was 1997 that Titanic won it but I couldn't think of what did win it the year after so I just stuck that down as my answer as I knew it was around that time.

[Deisler26]

llllllllWrong!

[SnakeXe]

Yes but the academy awards in 1998 (which was the question) is the 70th. If it said the academy award for 1998 then that's different.

[HotChocolate]

1. What year was the last time Santos won the Brazilian Serie A (Campeonato Brasileiro Série A)?

2. Name 3 countries that begin with H.

3. Who are currently 8th in the FIFA World Rankings (nation)?

4. What is the name of Beyonce and Jay-Z's new baby?

5. Which 3 Liverpool players scored the 2nd half goals in the famous Champions League Final comeback in 2005?

6. The well-known slogan "Melts in your mouth, not in your hands" is associated with which brand?

7. The 'Todoroki Athletics Stadium' is in which country?

8. Name 4 of the original Cluedo board game characters/suspects.

9. Who is the current captain of Bayern Munich?

10. What USA State is the Grand Canyon in?

Bonus Question: In kris0710’s career thread when managing Sheffield United in the 2015/2016 season he got knocked out of the FA Cup by Huddersfield but what was the score?

---------------------------------

Please Note: For question 2 I will NOT accept Holland as an answer, it is more of a nickname given to the Netherlands. If you put 3 countries down and Holland is one of them you will not get a point. And that ssestig has not got a career thread (apologises if you have, I couldn't find one) so I chose kris0710 over AK22 because he has the better overall score.

[SnakeXe]

Quick clarification, is it ok to read kris' thread now to find out the answer?

[HotChocolate]

Sorry Deisler but SnakeXe is correct, I checked Wikipedia after checking the official Oscars site: HERE!

[HotChocolate]

Quick clarification, is it ok to read kris' thread now to find out the answer?

Yes, I've said it before you can read the threads for the bonus questions

[Deisler26]

Those questions were a lot easier tbf. Think I got two wrong anyway.

[HotChocolate]

Those questions were a lot easier tbf. Think I got two wrong anyway.

Round 2 or Round 3?

Apologies for the mix up as well.

[SnakeXe]

Wow very difficult set of questions this time. I think I've got maybe 7 at best of those, including the bonus banker.

[Deisler26]

Round 2 or Round 3?

Apologies for the mix up as well.

Round 3. But, possibly, because I boned up on football this week just for this quiz.

[B.W.G]

Wow,doing better then I thought I would.

Email sent for this weeks.

[ssestig]

I haven't got a career thread so that's fine. Tougher round this time though.

[kris0710]

Well i was looking forward to gloating at being second but after missing 'Earth' off the planets questions i will go and sit in the corner, facing the wall....

[SRL88]

Im hoping for double figures off this weeks questions.

[Pangaea]

Haven't got a flippin' clue about most of those questions. :/

[AK22]

Damn it! If only I gave a rat's arse about Doctor Who!

Thanks for the Liverpool question this week; those names are tattooed on my mind

[Deisler26]

I remember the Liverpool game so well, as I was in a Barcelona bar watching it. I made a bet with my mate at HT that we'd give our friend £100 each for her Race for Life sponsorship if they came back to win.....

[AK22]

I remember the Liverpool game so well, as I was in a Barcelona bar watching it. I made a bet with my mate at HT that we'd give our friend £100 each for her Race for Life sponsorship if they came back to win.....

Did you both pay up? TBH, even I didn't believe we'd come back from 3-0 down! Definitely the best (and most dramatic) match I've ever seen; one of those pinch yourselves moments that I'll never forget

[Raware]

I'm happy with 8 points considering a couple of them were guesses. I'm not so confident about this weeks though ...like I care about Jay-Z and whatsherface

[Flamers]

I know it

[HotChocolate]

I remember the Liverpool game so well, as I was in a Barcelona bar watching it. I made a bet with my mate at HT that we'd give our friend £100 each for her Race for Life sponsorship if they came back to win.....

I remember we'd gone on holiday somewhere and I was eager to watch the match when we got to the hotel, got in ran to the TV, AC Milan 3-0 up with like 20 minutes gone? (correct me if I'm wrong) and I was like, ah I've missed all the action.

Fortunately I still decided to watch the 2nd half and I was bouncing round the room at full time, even though I'm not a Liverpool fan.

[deltablue]

Looks very hard, will have a go a little later but only expecting literally a few marks.

[Flamers]

I am expecting a fairly good showing, 5, possibly 7 this round

[Raware]

[HotChocolate]

Here is a statistic for you:

66% of the Questions answered in Round 1 were correct.
63% of the Questions answered in Round 2 were correct.

[hursty2]

I did a great deal better than I thought I would, guessing the Titanic question.

Sent in this weeks!

[deltablue]

Sent mine, not confident about almost all of them, guessing left right and centre, annoying for the 'multiple answer' ones where I was confident about all but one for the Liverpool and Cluedo ones.

[City2000]

Good set of questions there, some I knew, some I had to really think about and some where I had no clue whatsoever. After a shocker of a week last week I hope I can at least pull myself back upto mid-table respectability this week!

Email sent!

[Pangaea]

Don't take these contests very seriously so will just whip together some answers again. Couldn't give a toss who Jay Z is, never mind his kids.

[SnakeXe]

Don't take these contests very seriously so will just whip together some answers again. Couldn't give a toss who Jay Z is, never mind his kids.

Yeah I'm sort of glad I didn't get the answer to that one! Gave me the chance for a comedy response anyway

[SRL88]

I wouldnt have had a clue what Jay Zed's kid would be called, but I remember my girlfriend telling me so I go the first name. She told me yesterday it was a double barrell though...I think!!!

[Pangaea]

Shotgun Steve? He'll have a wonderful future!

[rancer890]

Sent. Will be lucky to get half right again. I have more comedic responses though.

[Nobby_McDonald]

Sweden and Norway (Pangaea) – The African Cup of Nations, hence African not Scandinavian!

He does get confused now the continents have split up.

[Nobby_McDonald]

I've sent my (mostly wrong or made up) answers in.

[HotChocolate]

Just getting next weeks questions together, don't worry I'll make them slightly easier!

[HotChocolate]

If Pangaea doesn't mind and I'm sure he wont, I may have to do a 'Pangaea Special' with the good and not so good answers this week.

The comedy he's put into almost every answer is brilliant

[SnakeXe]

I can't wait

[Pangaea]

I was that close, eh?

[HotChocolate]

These people have yet to send in their answers:

[HotChocolate]

Only had one reply since Sunday, you need to get your answers in today!

[Deisler26]

Today's the day, baby!

[deltablue]

I know I'll have dropped off top and down quite a few places.

[HotChocolate]

Quiz day!

[SnakeXe]

Quiz day \o/

Find out how badly I did last week /o\

[kris0710]

Not looking forward to todays results a poor week expected but im hopeful i can get the question about my own career thread right...if not im off!

[Pangaea]

I expect to win.

So deltablue only stayed top for 2 weeks and we now have a new leader in B.W.G but how long can he stay there for? The odds on Makonnen getting 7 next week? Quite high when you look at his previous scores with the steady improvement.

[HotChocolate]

So like I said, I'd show you Pangaea's best answers as they did crack me up, maybe not your kind of comedy but none the less they made me laugh out loud.

Who are currently 8th in the FIFA World Rankings (nation)?
Again, I've no idea. Who cares about that crap anyway? Betting my house and right ball, okay, not the right ball, on Argentina.

What is the name of Beyonce and Jay-Z's new baby?
Following up from the forum, Shotgun Steve. It only seems right

Which 3 Liverpool players scored the 2nd half goals in the famous Champions League Final comeback in 2005?
Think Gerrard scored, but don't know the others. I was too disappointed AC Milan turned off and ****ed up!

The well-known slogan "Melts in your mouth, not in your hands" is associated with which brand?
Sweet-flavoured Condoms.

The 'Todoroki Athletics Stadium' is in which country?
Sounds a little Japanese so I'm going with that. I'm so on top of this!

Name 4 of the original Cluedo board game characters/suspects.
Played this once utter yonks ago so should get a few at least. Mafia, villager, police, witness. Unless I have mixed this up with another stupid game we played while downing beers that one time

----------------------------------------------------------------

And now for the baby names that were brilliantly thought up:

Cornelius (SnakXe)
Angela Merkel (Flamers)
Angel Delight (Raware)
Shameless Publicity Stunt (deltablue)
Pixie Tinkerbell Kowles-Z (Scribe)
HotChocolate! With the exclamation mark (rancer890) - By far the best!
Ding Dong (Nobby_McDonald)
Fairy Apple Dakota (Adelaidean)
