Went for the only person I could think of. So I thought I'd best check my answer after reading this, and the guy I thought would have scored about 40 goals in fact has 23. STILL COUNTS
Whitechapel Owl Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 FFS got number 10 wrong (all 3 on my maybe list were as it turns out) Also got number 8 wrong, right team, wrong competition. On a more positive note I'm delighted with my answer for number 1.
Adem Poric Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I've got numbers 8 & 10 right but I'd assume they're both pretty popular. Some of these questions must have really limited answers though. Should be some high scores even with every answer correct.

Owlbert Einstein Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Just sent mine, left two questions blank, googled answers after and now kicking myself!!
alanharper Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Can I clarify that "appearances" includes coming on as sub, and all cup games?
Onge Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 This is hard! The first quiz was about trying to think of obscure answers... this time I'm just trying to think of any answers!

Tamworthowl Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Comment on the scoring, perhaps a change for future rounds? Surely a blank or incorrect answer should score worse than a correct one. In your example, an incorrect answer of "b" would score the same as the correct answer "e" i.e. 8. An incorrect answer should score at least "the maximum" plus 1.

An incorrect answer should score at least "the maximum" plus 1. Incorrect answers always score more than a correct one, (those rules have just been copy and pasted from the first time we did this) it usually scores the same number as the amount of participants eg if 20 of us play then an incorrect answer would score 20. Sometimes however the person running the quiz will cap the score for a wrong answer in order to give anyone with an incorrect answer a chance of still getting a decent score. In the last quiz there were 34 of us, I thought 34 was too high to give so capped it at 20 based on the highest scoring correct answer which was 16 in that particular game. Everyone does it slightly differently but an incorrect answer will always score higher than any that are correct. Edited October 15, 2016 by Whitechapel Owl
Neal M Posted October 16, 2016 Author Posted October 16, 2016 Entries received from Ralph, Tamworth, and Arenotwhat... Still time to enter. Get them in by 5pm (BST). I move a lot of concrete on the QVC.
Neal M Posted October 16, 2016 Author Posted October 16, 2016 Think we had 24 entrants including Utah. Thanks all. Currently marking. Will be back later today with the scores. 1 I move a lot of concrete on the QVC.
Neal M Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Ok, here we go. We had 23 entrants. I originally tried giving 23 points for all wrong answers - but the totals were insane - so I went with maximum scored on that question +1 (see Tamworth's suggestion above). Anyway, huge congratulations to Alan Harper - well played. Some explanations behind the answers marked as incorrect: Reda (France), Bougherra (France), and Ekoku (Manchester) were not born in Africa Kuqi was born in Yugoslavia - not Finland Dave Clements played in the U.S. long before the MLS was formed Lee Chapman joined Chamois immediately after their relegation in 1988. He only played in Ligue 2 Ronnie Whelan didn't play for us We played Basle in the Intertoto, and Kaiserslautern in the UEFA Cup - not the Fairs Cup. Surprisingly, neither Kovacevic, nor Nicol won more than 1 major European club trophy in their career Harkes joined us 6 months after the 1990 World Cup Petrescu was signed immediately after the 1994 World Cup Carson was a late (replacement) call up to the England squad. It happened on May 25, 2006 - so almost a month after the end of the 2005-06 season and the end of his loan period at SWFC. Big thanks to all for playing.
