    Yep, for some reason I thought everyone's answers would affect the score of each option. That's on me though, but I think I fecked up.

    Did Google afterwards to check the Madonna songs I picked were actually number ones so I'm stuck. 😬



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,185 ✭✭✭Neowise


    i didn’t google the madonna songs, but I’m still stuck, cause i don’t know any better!

    No need to google when richard reveals the answers 😅

    We are all in. One player has retired as they are busy, so a lucky player gets a bye tonight. I can reveal we have a tie breaker

    here we go…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,438 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    I think you all know how this works already, so lets have a look at question 1

    Names 2 of the 12 largest counties by area in Ireland

    Did you play it safe and pick a big county like Cork or did you take a gamble on Wexford?

    Lets have a look at the answers



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 21,768 Mod ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    I read south as the Republic … this really isn't going to go well. 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,438 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Well done if you pick Roscommon or Down

    Ahhhh feck, hit the nail on the head and went way in the other direction at the same time 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,912 ✭✭✭StrawbsM


    dammit 🤬



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,556 ✭✭✭davetherave


    I had to resubmit my answers, just didn't read the instructions. I gave what I reckoned were the largest and 2nd largest counties forgetting that you want the lowest score in pointless. I know how pointless works, I just wasn't thinking 😔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭duffman13


    I did not think Wexford was a risk, I also didnt think Roscommon would be pointless 😅 in trouble already

    I must think I was playing sheep

    Well done to @Rikand with a perfect score for q1, while Edser went rogue and picked Armagh

    Ah here - I get 3 and my opponent gets 4!

    I have to hope now @y0ssar1an22's Madonna knowledge is as dodgy as mine…



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 7,583 Mod ✭✭✭✭Irish Aris


    I was expecting to be the only one that would hit 30 points, feel a bit better with some company. 🙂

    Upcoming gigs and events: The Rocky Horror Show, The Pillowman, Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Foil Arms and Hog, Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,438 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Q2 name 2 of Madonnas first 12 no 1 singles, her 11th and 12th no 1s were the pointless answers.

    All songs on the board were Madonna songs, however not all were no 1s or her 1st 12 no 1s

    Lets see the answers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,438 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Well done if you picked Vogue or Justified my Love

    Yey! G’wan Madge!!!



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,500 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    I am shocked to be agreeing with you!

    (Although I initially sent in three answers for each - so had to discard my third answer. Which of course was pointless…)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,711 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    I'm surprised I didn't do worse . Picked the Ts Tipp and Tyrone and thought Tyrone was a wrong answer after . But my partner @cee_jay knows their Geography ! 😳

    Lets see how you all scored that round. Well done to @extra-ordinary_ for a perfect score. It's safe to say you all did better on that question and know Madonna better than Ireland
