The All New Occasionally Aussie P+B Quiz League and ☕ Occasional Cup ☕


Recommended Posts

Few guesses, including (somehow) the former Prime Minister and the romantic artist for an excitingly erogenous 8/10. 

Aussie swimmer and Aussie rugby wrong. Stupid country

CUP NEWS

So we had 2 draws over th weekends quarter finals. And due to this I've been wracking my brain for a tiebreak and guess what? I have one.

Question: In which year were POLO mints first manufactured and sold in the UK?

Answers to me no later than 5 pm tomorrow to allow for the semi finals to be played on Wednesday. Best of luck!!

In other quiz news, got 11/15 on The Times Daily Quiz today (normally get 3-5). Either the setter is going soft or all this daily practice is finally beginning to pay off. Disconcertingly few questions to which the answer was Cronulla Sharks or Bob Hawke :lol:

Do you have a link to it or is it hidden behind the paywall?

A quick google suggests paywall

Yeah, I wasn't just being lazy! But I'm pretty sure I've taken the Times quiz online before - I just couldn't remember how. 

Anyway, in the league. We have a new joint leader at the top, Scotfree!

Evening all. It's cup tiebreak result time.
FrankieS v The_Kincardine
And
LeedsSaint v Eednud both tied their quarter final ties and were asked to guess at the following question

In which year were polo mints first produced and sold in the uk?

Frankie guessed 1940 and Kincy guessed 1959.
Leeds guesses 1901 to Eednuds 1950

The correct answer according to several sources was 1948.

Resulting in Frankie being closer and Eednud being closer than their opponents.
Unlucky to the losers an well done to the 2 who progress. This leaves the semi final lineup as
FrankieS
Eednud
WillieA
Whiterosekillie

The draw will take place tomorrow night with the semi final ties to be played on Wednesday.
