AK22 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just sent mine. Some good questions, but slightly easier this week IMO. Well done to deltablue :smartarse: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Sent mine, found it easier, however, one question was really bugging me and I should know it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotChocolate Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 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!

hursty2 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that makes sense. Sorry, should have made that much clearer. 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 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 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.
