LOL. I only got 3 points. :( .

How can that be? I want answers. :grumpy:
 
It's no big deal however many you get or don't really, it's just a bit of fun.
 
Of course. I think this is really cool, too. I'm just saying, there are a few I was kind of sure of (let's hear it for oxymorons), so 3 points is kind of meh.

(1 bonus point for extra information about #2)

Aye, right! Change the rules half way through why don't you... If I'd have known that, I'd have given more info on some of mine....

:dopey:
 
Ah, but there could be two answers for #2 dpending on interpretation and you get 1 point for a close answer ;).
 
Lemme guess, you factored in substitutes or sin binned players?
 
OK ladies chill. :lol:

I could have eaisally got more for the golf question but am i complaining? Nope.

Indeed - your answer made me realise that the question was actually ambiguous and both of your answers were right from any given point of view - thus a bonus point was the only possible reward.

Omnis

Because you only got 1 and a half right?

Edit: I lied - you got 2 and a half right... Amending.

Now ducky, calm down. Think of your blood pressure. :D
 
If your blood pressure was high I'm sure it had more to do with your avatar than the quiz :lol:.
 
9 points! Pretty good for the highest scoring non-Brit here. :sly:

I sent mine in.

I actually got to answer quite a few (14/20 may be imminent from your favorite 12 year old guys :dopey: 👍 :drool: )


P.S: Duke...LMAO
 
Let's keep our answers to ourselves, shall we?
 
You got 8/20, well done to GT4freak32492, highest score so far.

Hey, I tried.

Plus, it must be a shame to know that a simple 12 year old outwits you in a simple quiz. Ha!

:sly:
 
my heart just skiped a beat when i realized i had done that.
 
Hell, happens to the best of us.
 
I'm going to give Omnis and GT4freak(numbers) a bonus point, for another ambiguity in question 9. They aren't right - as they posted an abbreviation, rather than a name - but technically they aren't wrong. I've amended the question, subtley, as a result.

You did well for anyone, let alone a 12 year old it's not the easiest quiz you'll find.
 
I knew that my useless facts book was a good investment :lol:! Otherwise one was in the news and grammar police will know #8.

Edit: yes! 16/20!
 
Another ambiguity? I'd have got tham all right if it wasn't for "ambiguity"

What you get up to in the privacy of your own bedroom is none of my concern...
 
Quite some bias towards UK content? Gee, you don't say! ;)
 
Really?

1. What is the maximum number of golf clubs a player is allowed to have in his bag while playing? - Golf... International sport, world #1 is American.
2. How many players are there in a Rugby League team? - Rugby League... International sport, world #1 is Australia.
3. Who wrote stories about a mischievous schoolboy known as just "William"? - Literature... English author, but worldwide market.
4. How many furlongs are there in a mile? - Imperial measurement... Now frowned upon in the EU and only in mass usage in US.
5. What was the former name of the UEFA Cup? - European football.
6. Which important financial institution is based at Llantrisant? - UK-centric.
7. At which Grand Prix did Fernando Alonso secure the 2005 F1 World Drivers' Championship? - F1... International sport. No good Brits left (except Jensen).
8. What is the correct plural of the word "Octopus"? - English language... As spoken throughout the world, including North America.
9. What's the name of the Hong Kong stock market index? - Hong Kong. Err...
10. Which band was fronted by Buster Bloodvessel? - Music, but English group.

So only 2 of the 10 can be claimed as UK-biased, really.
