    I knew them all. I probably picked the worst answer though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,596 ✭✭✭lassykk


    Hey my guess of the only one remotely familiar was correct :)

    Halle Berry proves to be the most popular leading lady for the critics of Forum Games but Katharine Hepburn isn't far behind.

    EEFGGFEDCCDEED gets off to a flying start, picking up a lovely Ace with Cate Blanchett. Less fortunate is bolgbui41, who mistakes her for Kate Winslet.

    Skippy and shelly also get off to a bad start, as they mix up their Hollywood classics (surprisingly, neither Lauren Bacall or Maureen O'Hara ever won a Best Actress Oscar - they had to make do with "honorary" awards)

    I'm aiming for no incorrects.

    PUNK POET PATTI PIPS POP PRINCESS TO POPULAR POSITION!

    Patti Smith is Forum Games' singer of choice, as she sheeps this round. No Aces this time around and a fairly even spread of correct answers. Alas, we have three missteps - sure it's all been shít since Mozart anyway, right?

    Nina wasn't inducted until 2018?

    Yikes.

    Posthumously, to boot.

    Didn't want to win this anyway. I'm just going with Necro's idea and hoping for 100% correct answers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    God damn it. One of the few rounds where I didn't go for one of the more obvious choices. Didn't think so many people would recognise Patti Smith.

    Now let's get PHYSICAL! As Olivia Newton John might say, though she might also wonder why she didn't make the cut for this quiz.....

    3. Sport
    All of these women are famous sportswomen - no further elaboration needed
    vcrKslM.jpg

    TOP ROW:

    Billie Jean King: American tennis player. Not Michael Jackson’s lover.
    Katie Taylor: Irish boxer. The most dangerous woman in Bray.
    Florence “Flo Jo” Griffith Joyner: American athlete. Still officially the fastest woman in history.
    Jayne Torvill: British figure skater.

    BOTTOM ROW:

    Megan Rapinoe: American footballer.
    Sonia O’Sullivan: Irish athlete. But more importantly she’s from Corrrrk.
    Nadia Comăneci: Romanian gymnast.
    Annalise Murphy: SHE’S ON A BOAT MOTHERFÚCKER, DON’T YOU EVER FORGET!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,755 ✭✭✭✭Hello 2D Person Below


    This is the round where I changed my mind at the last second...

    Billie Jean was NOT his lover...
    She was just a girl....
