**Pangaea** · 07-02-2012 14:36

I seem to be on a downward spiral. Odd, that

**SnakeXe** · 07-02-2012 14:56

brilliant job from Pangaea! "HotChocolate!" is also a brilliant name for a celebrity baby. If I'm ever famous I promise I'll name my child that. No matter how much it scars them...

Right, on to the questions

**hrbfcrule** · 07-02-2012 14:56

Some quality answers there Pangaea

**SnakeXe** · 07-02-2012 15:12

Answers sent, I think I've gotten 10/12 having checked a couple I wasn't sure of. Of course I may well have gotten wrong one or two that I was sure of so who knows! Question 3 is annoying, I thought I'd made a really good guess but turns out I was nowhere near! I had to give a comedy answer for Question 6 though (although it's the obvious comedy answer)

**Flamers** · 07-02-2012 15:25

*cough* mine wasn't a baby name mine was Bayern captain

**Flamers** · 07-02-2012 15:35

I might takes Pangaea's crown this round, some amazing answers have gone in

**B.W.G** · 07-02-2012 15:44

Answers sent,had absolutely no idea for question 6 though!

**Raware** · 07-02-2012 16:52

Some more good questions

. Struggled in that round though

. Email sent.

**ShyBaldBuddhist** · 07-02-2012 16:57

I'm back and appear to have missed all the fun. Answers emailed over for this round.

Some catching up to do and no chance with this weeks questions. Think I may have about 6 or 7 right

**ManUTactician247** · 07-02-2012 17:10

I think I got 2/10 lol, I suck at this.

**rancer890** · 07-02-2012 17:50

Sent. I might get 3 right here.

**Nobby_McDonald** · 07-02-2012 18:05

Can we see Pangaea's answers every week?

**Nobby_McDonald** · 07-02-2012 18:13

Sent in a mixture of certainly correct answers and stupid answers where I don't know the actual answer.

**Scribe** · 07-02-2012 18:41

I found this week a bit easier thankfully.

**deltablue** · 07-02-2012 20:57

5 is actually a couple more than I thought I'd get for the last round. This week looks better, though I'll probably drop a few, and without any more really hard weeks I could get back in the mix.

Today was a good example at how competitive I am in quizes, as we did one in college, thinking up questions in teams and throwing some at other teams, we didn't think up of hard ones, and threw one team an especially easy one to start, and after another I grabbed a notebook with the questions on from the girl who was choosing and asking them, and just in time as I went for the tough ones, and we beat the team we were very easy on by a point.

**AK22** · 07-02-2012 21:35

Answers sent, no idea on at least three!

**deltablue** · 07-02-2012 21:53

Answers sent, reckon a decent 8-10.

**HotChocolate** · 08-02-2012 08:37

Right, on to the questions

I'll help you become famous!!

I remember now, it was a name so I assumed it was the baby name.

If he comes up with more comedy like that, then yes!

**Adelaidean** · 08-02-2012 09:18

Sent mine.

I'm doing alright so far, better than I thought I would! Pangaea's answers really are fantastic, he should get some bonus points just for comedy value.

**Deisler26** · 08-02-2012 10:03

Sent. Pure luck that I knew two of those from TV and pub quizzes recently.

**SRL88** · 08-02-2012 10:05

Expecting an average score this week, but pleased with my score in week 3.

I'd just like to say I think all these questions of myself, I don't watch quiz shows etc.

Out of interest what question was on the TV?

Did I say comedy? Oh, I'm ever so sorry.

I meant, erm, erm, erm... Give me a year or two.

**DazRTaylor** · 09-02-2012 06:31

Confused as to why I only scored 11. I gave the same answers as you have posted HosChocolate.

**HotChocolate** · 10-02-2012 10:30

You put Maltesers for Question 6, the answers were: M&M, Minstrels or Mars.

**HotChocolate** · 10-02-2012 22:00

61% of the questions answered in Round 3 were correct. Which means going by statistics, the Rounds are getting harder.

Or the more likely option, you lot are getting dumber

Just a heads up to Nobby_McDonald and everyone else for that matter, Nobby tried to be smart and made a fool of himself and yes I will be revealing all on Tuesday

Ah good. Not got college next week so don't have to wait until I trudge home really late at night for my next quiz fix.

**SnakeXe** · 11-02-2012 11:09

I'm definitely getting dumber. Looking forward to finding out Nobby's faux pas

**Nobby_McDonald** · 11-02-2012 14:24

Not for the first time.

**Nobby_McDonald** · 11-02-2012 14:26

I've spotted it. Whoops.

Technically though, my answer is still correct.

**HotChocolate** · 11-02-2012 19:02

Technically yes but your statement at the start is incorrect as you have spotted

**deltablue** · 11-02-2012 19:07

The plot thickens...

**HotChocolate** · 11-02-2012 19:07

Oh and someone has got 0pts although to be fair one or two of the answers were quite clever, wrong, but clever.

**deltablue** · 11-02-2012 19:09

Wow, embarassing for him.

**Pangaea** · 11-02-2012 20:00

Hush you. I haven't sent in mine yet

Forgot about the whole thing, but will try to answer them by Tuesday (and probably fail again). Right now I have a hankering for some Mass Effect

**Pangaea** · 11-02-2012 20:24

Allright, after a pause from internet going AWOL, I've sent it in. Should have more than 0, but not much. The only question I'm 100% sure about it the capital as I have a friend living there.

**HotChocolate** · 12-02-2012 11:27

Got quite a few who haven't sent in their answers for Round 4 yet:

roganp

That's not me so I can only be embarassed once.

I know I have four right. Probably no more.

**Flamers** · 13-02-2012 18:20

I got about 3 I think

**AcidBurn** · 13-02-2012 18:21

I am not one for mocking people but surely that person should be named.

**deltablue** · 13-02-2012 18:23

They will be tomorrow, when HC lists everyone's scores.

**AcidBurn** · 13-02-2012 18:26

Good it will give me a few minutes of enjoyment.

**deltablue** · 13-02-2012 18:26

Sure it's not you?

**AcidBurn** · 13-02-2012 18:27

lol, I do not enter.

**deltablue** · 13-02-2012 18:30

Ah, so you're nice and safe then

**AcidBurn** · 13-02-2012 18:31

Yep, the fear of getting a zero stopped me from entering it.

**Flamers** · 13-02-2012 19:01

AB I lose 5 each week because I know nothing about football!

**hrbfcrule** · 13-02-2012 19:36

Get learning then

I could tell you knew nothing when you insisted that Balotelli is not a good player.

**HotChocolate** · 13-02-2012 21:02

Don't worry, that person will be named and shamed tomorrow

Flamers, you definitely gave the wrong impression first week. You got a score of 9 but followed that up with a 2 and 5 (and obviously this weeks result, which I know

muhahahaha).

**Nottingham Forest** · 13-02-2012 23:37

It's not me, as I haven't entered for two weeks. I've got bored so won't enter now, ever again most probably. I'll still look in for people's results just so I can have some laughs.

**Barney Butterball** · 14-02-2012 03:50

I sent mine, will re-send. Hopefully i'm not to late

**Flamers** · 14-02-2012 07:33

I bet I got 0 then

**SnakeXe** · 14-02-2012 10:04

NF could I make up comedy answers and send them in on your behalf each week?

\o/ Quiz day!

**Nottingham Forest** · 14-02-2012 10:06

Haha, now if you hadn't of said you'd like to do it and then did it, it would have been quite funny. Now you've said it though, it won't be

.

**acidmonkey** · 14-02-2012 10:12

ooh ill try and remember to enter this week

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 11:03

I never received your first set, got the re-sent one though

Sorry about that, cheers

**ShyBaldBuddhist** · 14-02-2012 12:26

What time can we expect the results HC? Can't wait to see Nobbys answer where he was trying to be smart and also see who scored 0.

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 13:23

Just about to upload them now!

------

Had an idea for Round 10, the last round. Instead of the usual 10 questions with a bonus questions how about 20 questions? No bonus question, it could change the league table dramatically and with it being the final week, always got to go out with a bang?

**hursty2** · 14-02-2012 13:27

I ****ing sent my answers in!

**hursty2** · 14-02-2012 13:28

Sent again just to be sure.

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 13:47

I'm sure all of these would do a better job than a woman

*goes into hiding for 3 weeks*

Shane Warne (SRL88) – Australian prime minister.
Kangeroo Jack (rancer890) – Australian prime minister.
Foster advert blokes (various) – Australian prime minister.
Crocodile Dundee (AK22) – Australian prime minister.
Ned Kelly (SnakeXe) - Australian prime minister, because me moaned about it.

Torquebows (hursty2) – Torquays nickname, it made me laugh and does deserve a mention!
Broussia Dortmund 6-0 Manchester City (deltablue) - Not a bad guess at the SuperBowl score!
Cap Collector (jackripper) - The South African all time leading capped player!
11 players (jackripper) - That is true to be fair, but not what I was looking for. (Question 5)
Didn't click the link so I'll say a Morris Minor (jackripper) - I have a feeling our Jack was a bit grumpy

--------

And I would just love to thank you all that decided to put N as the capital of Nepal although only 1 of you claimed it to be right (Flamers)

**SnakeXe** · 14-02-2012 13:48

If the current trend is anything to go by I should get 8 this week

Edit: Disappointed my comedy answer of Ned Kelly wasn't acknowledged

**hursty2** · 14-02-2012 13:50

It was supposed to say 'Torquebows' but nevertheless.

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 13:51

7. In what year were FC KØbenhavn founded?
Notts County are the oldest club formed in 1862 so I will say it was any year after 1862, which makes my answer correct

You really shouldn't have said that to me, I live in Sheffield, I think I'll know which team is the oldest club formed:

Sheffield FC formed in 1857 (according to Wikipedia, 24th October)
Notts County formed in 1862, (correct me if I'm wrong) the oldest football league club and the oldest professional club.

**SnakeXe** · 14-02-2012 13:51

That'd be a fanstastic nickname if everyone was familiar with Gears of War. Since a lot aren't then it probably wouldn't go down so well

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 13:54

much better nickname than the gulls

**deltablue** · 14-02-2012 13:57

What about my superbowl answer? Hardly hilarious but surely worth a mention as it was obviously not serious and amusingly wrong on so many levels? Plus career nods are made of win. Just be lucky I didn't put my West Brom side hammering the Blades to reach the playoff, which I nearly did but thought would be a bit cruel.

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 14:01

1. In Euro 2012, Group B consists of which 4 teams?

2. Gary Lightbody is the lead vocalist of which band?

3. Bob Bradley is the current head coach (manager) of which international side?

4. Who played Santiago Munez in the films Goal, Goal 2 and Goal 3?

5. Auckland City FC currently play their home games in which stadium?

6. What does the BBC stand for?

7. Eden Hazard currently wears which number for Lille?

8. Oprah Winfrey, the American talk show host, is how old?

9. Which two teams were in the English FA Youth Cup Final last season?

10. Name 10 of the 16 current (2014) Winter Olympic sports?

Bonus Question: In Deisler26's career, name the 4 teams he faced in getting to the TIM Coppa Italia Final in 2022. (Includes the team he played in the final but excludes the qualifying rounds).

**Pangaea** · 14-02-2012 14:10

Four points is more than I expected.

Had no idea København are that young. Though now when you mention it, I seem to recall something about it from the back rows of my brain.

Edit: Those questions look bloody nightmarish

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 14:14

"F.C. Copenhagen was founded in 1992, as a superstructure between 15-time Danish football champions Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB) and seven-time Danish football champions Boldklubben 1903"

I remember reading that ages ago, I have a very, very strange love affection with FC København, I should go to the doctors about it. So I knew the answer and thought that some may know it (with it being recent,ish).

**ShyBaldBuddhist** · 14-02-2012 14:18

I was only about 80 years out on the København question. Never would have gussed they were that young a club.

Looks tough this week. At first glance I think I only know 2 of them.

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 14:20

I knew about 2/3 of the answers. The rest I had to check, I'm so glad I'm writing the questions and not answering them, I'd suck so much.

Maybe I could do a round up of how many points I'd get at the end of the Quiz?

**SnakeXe** · 14-02-2012 14:28

I knew the Kobenhavn one because of looking them up when they went on that good (for them) Champions League run a couple of seasons ago.

Sent my answers, and having checked, I think I may just have gotten 8 as predicted! Assuming I didn't get any of the names wrong or confuse real sports for demo sports for the Winter Olympic sports of course.

**acidmonkey** · 14-02-2012 14:30

they look pretty simple to be honest only a few i haven't a clue on

**ShyBaldBuddhist** · 14-02-2012 14:50

Email sent for what it's worth. Awful round for me this week. Made a few guesses but pretty sure none of them are correct.

**hrbfcrule** · 14-02-2012 15:09

Really tough questions this week, i'll be happy with 4 or 5

**deltablue** · 14-02-2012 16:29

Looks like a heck of an ouch round.

**Flamers** · 14-02-2012 16:34

I think I will be happy with 0 this week

**Makonnen** · 14-02-2012 16:46

Did mine not make it in ontime? Sent late last night via PM.

**Deisler26** · 14-02-2012 18:45

Cracking questions this week. Love the hard ones!

**ManUTactician247** · 14-02-2012 19:05

I think I got 1 right, lol I suck at this.

**deltablue** · 14-02-2012 22:05

Sent, mix of a few I knew, genuine but long shot guesses (some so long a shot that they had travelled from the other side of the world) and a few 'comedy' answers. I bet I got 8 or 9 on the last regular question, mega mean that one.

**HotChocolate** · 14-02-2012 23:24

Sorry Makonnen, I actually did get yours and remember reading them this morning. Not sure why I haven't put them on.

I'll put your results into the table and updated for next week

You got 4 points, if you were wondering

**hursty2** · 15-02-2012 11:50

Very hard this week, hoping to get about 5 right including the bonus question.

Sent mine in.

**SRL88** · 15-02-2012 14:46

Good week for me I think. Question 3 is a nice one

.

**AK22** · 15-02-2012 17:05

Answers have been sent!

**Nobby_McDonald** · 15-02-2012 17:18

The stupid thing is I do actually know Sheffield are the world's oldest club and they even play in Newcastle Town's league.

Even so my answer is correct in terms of year so I want my point.

**Nobby_McDonald** · 15-02-2012 17:33

Sent my answers in. Some might be getting introduced to a band they've never heard of.
