    Welcome to my first ever reveal thread. Just getting that in early in case it all goes tits-up at some stage. :D

    Thanks everyone for playing, a quick reminder of the questions, the number corresponding to the number of possible answers for that question:

    15 Name one of Tiger Woods' major wins (tournament and year)
    14 Name a Pro 14 rugby club
    13 Name a rugby league position
    12 Name an NFL team that has never won the Super Bowl (franchises that have moved/changed name will be grouped under current name)
    11 Name a country/group that has won a Winter Olympics medal of any colour for the skeleton
    10 Name a British Formula One world motor racing champion
    9 Name a baseball fielding position (i.e. any position other than batter)
    8 Name an Irish cycling Grand Tour (Tour de France, Giro d'Italia or Vuelta a Espana) stage winner
    7 Name a netball position
    6 Name a sport that Ireland has won a Summer Olympics medal in (e.g. cycling, rather than specific event such as men's road race)
    5 Name an Irish/Northern Irish golfer who has won a major since 2000
    4 Name one of the titles a boxer must hold to be considered an undisputed world champion (all identified by 3 letters)
    3 Name one of the cities, other than Tokyo, that hosts a sumo honbasho (professional tournament) each year
    2 Name one of the individual men's ski jumping competitions at the Winter Olympics

    Yeah, I already have my full 5 hour reveal timetable planned out. It took me 8 hours to do that and I'd hate to see all that work go to waste.

    15 Name one of Tiger Woods' major wins (tournament and year)

    Let’s face it, there’s only two you could have gone for here really, isn’t there? So did you go for young Tiger’s first major?
    tiger-97-lead_0.jpg

    Or did you go for old Tiger’s most recent?

    Or did you decide to make things a bit more difficult for yourself from the very start…?

    14 Name a Pro 14 rugby club

    Second most available answers, but we end up with one of our biggest sheeps. So was it the boys in blue or the ones in red?

    Hopefully my score isn't as embarrassing as the Ireland game yesterday was

    Fair play Purgative, picked the one I wanted to pick but I couldn't risk it :/


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 7,920 Mod ✭✭✭✭cee_jay


    I knew Leinster would sheep, but still couldn't bring myself to choose it :D

    Putgative's seeming loyalty makes me feel like even more of a traitor than when I entered Leinster :p

    I went with loyalty - big mistake :(

    Having seen the Serbia game during the week I decided not to watch the match last night. Best decision I've made in a long time.

    13 Name a rugby league position

    On to the better of the rugbys :D, are you a fan of props?
