Jimbokav1971 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 1. 50/50 for me. 2. That is not art! 3. I think I know what part of the World, but that's about it. 4. Yes, I know this. 5. I had a damn good go at this, but not convinced I remember how it works correctly. 6. Not a clue. 7. Again, I know what part of the World, but not precisely. 8. No, I don't know this so have guessed with a famous Physicist. 9. I know this. 10. I'm at an enormous disadvantage here because I never player with big clubs, but I have at least worked out what type of player it is and had a guess.

Darius1998 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 1. I think I got this right despite being born a few months after the tournament. 2. Had no idea. 3. Got the region right, country wrong. 4. I'm hopeful. Unfortunately I stopped following cricket 5-6 years back. 5. My maths exam is tomorrow. 6. Never heard of it. 7. No news of MMA in my country. 8. Pysics exam next Monday. Preparation clearly lacking because I'm sure it was in the Elasticity chapter. 9. Didn't watch it but had a good guess. 10. Same as Jimbokav.

dafuge Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 1. Who was the top goal scorer at the 1998 FIFA World Cup hosted by France? Answer: Davor Šuker Everyone got this correct, even someone who wasn't born! 2. Which artist created the composition known as 'The Scream'? Answer: Edvard Munch 10/13 for this one. 3. Ouagadougou is a city in which country? Answer: Burkina Faso 9/13 got it. Three others were close, the other one not so much. 4. Next month India host the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 tournament. Which nation won the 2014 tournament? Answer: Sri Lanka 7/13, with lots of sensible guesses. 5. y is inversely proportional to the cube of x. If y = 4 when x = 3, what does y equal when x = 2? Answer: 13.5 4/13. If anyone's interested, y = k/x^3 so 4 = k/3^3 meaning k = 108. y = 108/2^3 so y = 13.5 6. What was the name of Roni Size/Reprazent's 1997 Mercury Music Prize winning album? Answer: New Forms Just one person got this, Diesler26. A bit obscure maybe, but I'm glad at least someone had heard of it. 7. In November 2015, Ronda Rousey suffered the first defeat of her MMA career at the hands of Holly Holm. In which city did this take place? Answer: Melbourne 5/13, a few went for the wrong Australian city and a few others gave a good guess of Las Vegas (where the UFC usually hold their big events). 8. 'The force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance' is a description of a law named after which physicist? Answer: Robert Hooke 4/13. A lot went for Newton, I guess it does sound a little bit like one of Newton's laws. dllu got the bonus point here for Slinky J. Slinkerton. 9. Which actor played Bond in 'The Living Daylights'? Answer: Timothy Dalton 12/13 got it. 10. These are the attributes of a well known player from a newly started game of FM16. Who is it? Answer: Mesut Özil 3/13, which surprised me a bit. Jimbokav1971's answer was brilliant, gave his complete thought process then nailed it at the end.

Darius1998 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 1. Who was the top goal scorer at the 1998 FIFA World Cup hosted by France?Answer: Davor Šuker Everyone got this correct, even someone who wasn't born! Of course that's me. I was born a few months later. I've no idea how I came up with 4.5 for Q5. Should have multiplied by 3 maybe. For the last one, Ozil was one of those I thought about seeing the stats but somehow decided with De Bruyne and I have no idea why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dllu Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 8. 'The force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance' is a description of a law named after which physicist?Answer: Robert Hooke 4/13. A lot went for Newton, I guess it does sound a little bit like one of Newton's laws. dllu got the bonus point here for Slinky J. Slinkerton. I believe my full answer was Dr. Slinky J. Slinkerton, FRS. 10. These are the attributes of a well known player from a newly started game of FM16. Who is it? Answer: Mesut Özil 3/13, which surprised me a bit. Jimbokav1971's answer was brilliant, gave his complete thought process then nailed it at the end. Being an Arsenal fan, I just took a complete punt at a midfielder from a club I support. But hey, my point is worth just as much as Jimbo's... P.S.: Just so I can maybe prepare a bit in advance: Am I correct in thinking that my round of questions is due on March 6? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well EvilDave's just confirmed to me that he can't do a round, and I think from this point on there'll be a rule that you still have to be still actively taking part (as in having taken part in the previous round at least) to be eligible to set questions, given it wasn't in place before I wanted to give ED a fair chance. That means Nobby should be next if he's able to. Once we have got something sorted I'll recalculate the order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Here we go chaps... A mixture of straight forward, the obscure and the somewhat bizarre... and no golf in sight! 1. Where was the Football League founded? (the place, not the building) 2. Where in the human body is the coccyx? 3. Where is the coastal settlement of Monkey River Town? 4. Name all the permanent hosts of Countdown. (This does not include the 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown spin off). 5. Three parts... On my epic FM11 save... 5a - How many seasons did I spend at Newcastle Town? 5b - How many seasons did I spend in the Premier League? 5c - How many times was I relegated? I shall award half a point for two right and the full point for all three 6. When was the Battle of Bosworth? 7. How did a man from Eyemouth beat a man from Stoke-on-Trent in 2015 and 2016? 8. What is Italian for 'thank you very much'? 9. What does OBE stand for? 10. What is the name of the blimp like vehicle in In the Night Garden...? I had better clear my inbox...

deltablue Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Looks like my good run is coming crashing down. I know Bosworth and that's pretty much it, maybe one of the multi-part question, which I'm really not keen on but since there's nothing in the rules against them I'll let it pass just this once.

Jimbokav1971 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Really? I'm averaging about 2 points per round and I think I might know 8 of them! wowee! 1. I'm pretty sure I know. 2. I didn't know it was spelt like that, but I know exactly where it is. 3. Guess. 4. I think I know them. 5. ***Insert rude word*** 6. Yes. I know that. 7. I'm almost positive I know that. 8. I'm not 100% positive I've got it exact. It's close/similar, but I don't think I have what is written down. 9. I think I know this. 10. It's 50/50 between that and the Train carriage thingy.

Maaka Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 1 - educated guess 2 - having a doc in the family teaches you stuff 3 - if I got this right, something's not right 4 - sayonara 5 - it's been a while, but I think I remember these ones 6 - educated guess 7 - say what? 8 - "facile" 9 - the one I'm 99,99% sure about 10 - I know which one it is, and I know which one's the train, but I hope the name is similar (or the same) as we got here in Norway, where the series' dubbed..
