In the 2nd Division League the winner is...ffs again we need a playoff question.  2 tied are @alang1993 & @Ziggy.  Promoted also is @CaspianChris@Cardinal Richelieu who was in the running all week finds himself with another question to see if he goes up.  In the playoff he is.

No surprises to see the 3 least decorated players finding tough. @Snobot, @SteelJag @BigBo10 look out yer bucket and spades.  You're all going to Pontins.  @mathematics hates the beach, so he better do good in the playoff.

Finally I can hand out a medal.  Congratulations to @Ross.  Up with him is @gkneil & @Spring Onion, well done to both.   @JamesP_81  powers into the play off. What can you say about the WORST player this week, an embarrassment to all, goes to @NJ2.  Rules are rules gentleman and I'm sticking to them.  It's only fair on the other players ;)  @Jacksgranda I'll give you the honour.

Well, I don't want to fall out with [mention=29470]SlipperyP[/mention], even if he has less points than [mention=73487]NJ2[/mention], so here you are, NJ - gdwrm105-novelty_imagename.noext_.jpg&key=874945b202b8de6c4caa4aa1723a5e3f3ef0030dff0b60be558fca1d0d623bce

Playoff time is up #128 the winners....

First we had to get through the medals of 2 leagues.

World Super League Champion Playoff

@8MileBU 198765

@Rugster No fuckin idea. Could be 10 million could be one thousand. I thought about trying some mental arithmetic but can’t be arsed so I’ll just say a quarter of a million people. 

 v

@Tynierose What a toughie. Let's go for 129292.

2nd Division League Champion Playoff

@alang1993 229,110

 v

@Ziggy I could show my workings but since I’ve no clue about the population of the US I won’t bother. 239,000.4

Aileen Wuornos Playoff

@Helpma P15 W5 L10 last app: 26th Oct 2019

191,649

@Cardinal Richelieu P21 W11 L10 last app: 21st Dec  2019

Right. Logic dictates that it's the population of USA / 365 / 4 Which would be 240,000 - but I'll bump it up a bit for absolutely no reason. 250,001.

i have no idea of the population of Amerikkka, so let’s use the tried and trusted method of sticking a pi in somewhere and call it pi*100,000,000. A 29th February occurs every 1461 days, so assuming that every day has equal probability of birth rate, a quick division gives me around 215,000. Thats my answer: 215,000.

@JamesP_81 P14 W9 L5 last app 14th Dec 2019

29th Feb happens once every 1461 days, there must be around 350M folk in the USA, so I'd calculate roughly 240,000

Question - How many people in the USA who are still alive, were born on 29th February.

World Super League Champion is @8MileBU, the doubles in the bag.  Very well played sir.  Silver Medal goes to @Tynierose@Rugster fights another day!

2nd Division Champion is @alang1993 congratulations.  Runner up @Ziggy.

Playoffs - @Helpmastays in the top flight with the closest guess this weekend.  No leap up for the @Cardinal Richelieu & @mathematics pied @JamesP_81 with a dominant show to keep is place in the 2nd Division.

Have a lucky weekend everyone.

Nice performance from the boys in the play-off.  Though it was based on a false assumption, I thought the population of America was only 280 million.  Still, at least I remembered that there's an extra day in a leap year, a rookie defensive error that fatally crippled His Eminences calculations.

 

Oh, and 9/10 for Monday.  I should have gone for my gut instincts for the building.

The league table doesn’t lie...

There is a rule that was brought in via committee at the annual general meeting 2018/19, that all players MUST complete the 5 days, otherwise they will finish bottom no matter if they had a higher score than other players.  @Cardinal Richelieu was present at the meeting.....
