    I'm really not feeling the "holiday spirit" from this thread. :(

    I hate that this actually made me feel bad. :(

    I'm slowly getting my head around the fact that the "correct" answer has absolutely nothing to do with anything!

    Think what the correct answer might be, then think what everyone else might think the correct answer might be, then account for messers and subversives and a couple of genuine outliers - and then as far as I'm concerned, throw a dart at a selection of numbers with a blindfold on, hope you haven't killed the cat, and there's your answer.

    Q3: How many people watched The Late Late Toy Show over the weekend? (Live and on the rte player, worldwide)
    PM me your answer before 7pm

    Reminder, there is no "correct" answer, you're trying to land in the middle of everyone's answers. But still, no googling!

    I'll reveal everyone's answers and scores this evening, probably about 8:30pm

    Well one day was enough on Ted's lap for me :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,699 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    I know the actual answer to this but what will the thick’s on here think it is?

    There’s bound to be someone who says 7 cause it’s the number of people in their house and someone else who says 4 billion

    If you want, I'll take the highest answer from everyone else and double it. Special service, just for you ;)

    I asked the kids and here are some of the responses

    everyone
    Do elves or dogs count because I watched with both?
    How do you know how many people are watching one tv?
    Millions
    6 in my family.
    I don't watch it it's rubbish.
    How could you not watch it?
    I fell asleep for some, do I still count?


    So after exhausting every answer, I guessed:D

    Or are you a teacher using your class to help with this quiz? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    I like this type of quiz: you don't have to know any of the answers to win :)
    Having good general knowledge is actually punished :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Answer just sent and I'm already thinking I made a terrible mistake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,326 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    I had trouble deciding how many digits my answer should contain, never mind what said digits should be......

    I don't watch the toy show , my idea of hell, an evening with Ryan Tubridy, shudder .
    Random middle of the road guess on the way !

    Mine. But I've a dodgy knee so it's liable to collapse under you at any time. The unpredictability just adds to the excitement.
