deej Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Bit of a rush here, so league tables will follow tomorrow.

All answers in only 20 minutes after I posted the question. Bunch of sooks. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until late tonight or tomorrow for the results.

Helpma Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 We're all so engrossed in the Aberdeen-St Mirren game that we jumped at any distraction available! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Here's your tardy league tables. WILLIEA is on a rich vein of form and Alang1993 medals (shoot me now) for the first time in a while. Dyl and Cowden0 go down (hope the latter is okay), Deej is in the play-offs but you know this already. MSU springs back to the top shop along with Eednud (correct me if I'm wrong but I did I see you moaning about the surfeit of Aussie questions the other day?) ... Helpma is in the play-off but you know this already. At the nether end, NJ2 (what a fall from grace) and Welshbairn are down, and gkneil is in the play-offs, but I suspect you already know this. And at the grass-roots league, The Captain has scooped his 2nd bronze medal, and German Jag - another of the New Year recruits, is promoted also. Jacksgranda is in the play-offs, but I suspect you already know this. Play off results to follow once I've been for a shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Maturin Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I think we should have a superleague the first week of every month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) And here are your play-off results. I asked what the USA's national debt was, according to some website that could be wildly inaccurate. I also specified a specific date and time of this debt, then forgot to actually note it, so you're getting a rough approximation. If you don't like it, I suggest you start your own splinter quiz thread. I'm going with $20,612,732,500 .. that's 20 trillion dollars plus change. (the UK is only $2.4 trillion apparently). The mind boggles. And here are the scores on the doors. Bonus point next season to anyone who can tell me what Rosemary Ford is up to these days, and whether she's still fit. Here are the answers verbatim: Helpma: US National debt $1,789,465,123,456 and 49 cents. The forty nine cents are owed to the local face painter on Pennsylvania Avenue. True dat. Deej: I'm not sure the total, but I bet it's even more than Rangers (RIP). Something stupid like $18,999,888,777,666.55 Jacksgranda: $330,000,000,000,000 gkneil: 30 trillion for the quiz play-off Helpma and Deej went wild in the aisles, but helpma went slightly less wild so he's promoted at Deej's expense. Jacksgranda's 330 quadrillion dollars was a bit wild, so gkneil keeps his SWL spot. Edited January 21, 2018 by Cardinal Richelieu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I've gone dyscalculic, which is a real possibility, Deej wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for teaching me the word Dyscalculic btw, every day is a school day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 MSU springs back to the top shop along with Eednud (correct me if I'm wrong but I did I see you moaning about the surfeit of Aussie questions the other day?) ... Helpma is in the play-off but you know this already. At the nether end, NJ2 (what a fall from grace) and Welshbairn are down, and gkneil is in the play-offs, but I suspect you already know this. An exciting eight. Colour and Aussie sport let me down. Edit: and apologies for the tardiness cardigan. (That’s not a typo) My Friday score was posted but ignored. Not very honest nor noble for a man of the cloth... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Here we go again on the way out Wacky Races. A confidence-boosting 8 out of 10 for Monday. I don't think The Ashes counts as an Aussie sports question so it was OK to get that one right. Still got the other two Antipodean questions wrong, the painting and the UFC questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
