Yas. Love these rounds. Were the people who you asked told that it's for pointless? Do you need first and second names for the Goodfellas characters?

Yes, they were told, and given 100 seconds to name as many answers as they could.

Last names needed as some characters have the same first names, thanks for clearing that one up before we start!

Also as a heads up, I think we'll be wrapping things up for LFQ with Round 25 next week to make room for forehead's new quiz. So feel free to bring fizzy drink and games for the last week. No uniform too, and we'll finish at half 2.

[forehead7]

I'll give it a couple of weeks and then run mine. I've got three exams that are difficult up until the 15th so I'll run it after that.

[forehead7]

Think my answers were
1. Monsters, Inc. (1)
2. America (7)(not sure since I did some sort of variant)
3. Michael Hill (played by Kevin Corrigan!!)
4. Dilophasaurus
5. Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart, bitches!)
6. Ed Wood (3) was an absolute guess as to Depp's involvement.
7. 127 Hours only because of this quiz in the numbers round and I didn't realise it was Boyle's so others might not've.
8. Guessed at the director as I haven't seen it.
9.From Paris With Love
10. J. Edgar Hoover (3) I went with this thinking that it was new and bombed. The only other one I knew was Frank Abignale Jr. but figured that'd be the most popular. Gutted.


All in all, not a bad round. 5 pointless, a 7, 2 3s and a 1.

[Albino Rover]

The 25th and final round, for now, is called Best Picture?

All the clues are in the form of Rebus puzzles, a series of pictures that when put together sound like the title of a film.
Shit explanation. Here's an example:
 app-polka-lips-NOW.png (389.23K)
Number of downloads: 30
The clues read "App-polka-lips-NOW", so the answer must be...Apocalypse Now!

Try these 10 fiendish ones out. All I need is the title of each film.

I've got them all apart from #2. Just too many variables in it. Might try and make a guess at it.

[King Kebab]

That was excellent, really appreciate the time and effort you obviously put into these quizzes!!!

Had to really think about that set of questions and 2 and 6 were a pair of bitches!!!

Hope the "Final Round" statement is only more of a mid-term break and we see your quiz up and running again soon!!!

I've enjoyed putting the questions together and hope to pick it up again soon, and look forward to Forehead's quiz soon.

Any criticism or ideas on how to improve the quiz, or things you'd like to see next time, is very welcome. Hope to have everyone back for Quiz 2 in the near future.

Gutted not to get to triple figures(although, I did host one week so I guess I should be given extra points )

Cracking quiz, Albino.

As for mine, it might be a few weeks since I've got exams tomorrow and on the 24th then I'm going to Arran at the end of the month for a few days(it depends on when my uncle's going so I can play him at golf) so I'm not entirely sure when. I'll try and sort the dates out this week.
