FG Challenge Quiz - Game Thread

Kolido

Welcome to FG Challange Quiz

Format

Each player will play alone and PM me their answers, PLEASE DON'T POST ANSWERS ON THE THREAD
Each day I post questions, players will have until midnight the same day to PM their answers.

Stage 1

Everyone will be in the same group.
I will post Rounds 1-3 on Monday and Round 4-7 on Tuesday
Reveal will take place on Wednesday evening (time TBC)
Those in the top half of the table will advance into The Winners Group for Stage 2
Those in the bottom half will go into the Runner Up Group for Stage 2

Stage 2

Two groups, please see above.
I will post Rounds 1-3 on Thursday and Rounds 4-7 on Friday
Reveal will take place on Saturday evening (time TBC)

How the Tie-Breaker works

Each stage will include 2 tie-breaker questions which I will ask you to answer. Questions will be posted with Rounds 1-3.
Tie-breaker answers will be used only to separate players when making the cut at stage 1 and to separate top place in both groups in stage 2
Your answer to tie-breaker question 1 will be taken first, closest player to the correct answer will go through. If answers are the same, we will go to question 2. If there is still a tie, the player who PM'd me first will win.

rainbowtrout

There's no pictures

Kolido

Apologies guys, let me see if I can sort of post them another way.

Kolido

Let me know please if you can see them now

rainbowtrout

Trigger

So many music questions

Purgative

Now I'm looking forward to the losers playoffs.:(

Baggly

Tricky sets of questions! Appreciate it Kolido!!

Trigger

Think I got 9 from the first 10 questions (thank you sport knowledge!) Then went downhill pretty sharpish. From the bottom 20 I think I knew 3 or 4 answers and the rest were pretty much guesses

[Deleted User]

So near but yet so far on some of my submitted answers

Grrrrrrrrr

I think so , but then that could just be added to the list of things I've got wrong.

Three years ago this was the favoured tune of my Transition Year students, any day away where they had music playing we got a blast of this. If I didn't get this question right........

I thought it was something you put in car engines

the purple tin

Any sense of optimism I had after yesterday's questions has been torpedoed with today's set

In, best I could do anyway. I hope I don't look like too much of a dope when the answers are posted.

It is still like a little dagger to my heart. I remember my Mam coming in to my bedroom and waking me to tell me the news. I may have cried a little

This (along with a good few of the other questions) came up recently in one of the rubbish evening telly quiz shows I'm hopelessly addicted to.

I really, really need to start paying a bit more attention to them!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Bit tougher than yesterday (always was going to be with sports in the mix), but don't think I fared too terribly, plenty there that I'd be confident in anyway... All that useless knowledge I've retained coming in handy... :pac:

Entries sent. That wasn't so bad, actually; knew a good few of them and the ones I didn't know were ones I could at least make a (hopefully) decent guess at.

The "first video on MTV" one is bugging me though, because I know I've heard it before and just can't recall it now. I made a guess that sounds like it could be correct but also could be horribly wrong.

Kolido

Guys, a quick question. We have a late entry, I have no problem letting them play from today. However I have also no problem with them answering yesterdays questions and giving them fair crack at it. Would everyone be okay with this?
I know I set deadlines but I don't want to turn anyone away where possible.

We obviously won't be able to accept any late entries after stage 1.

I couldn't resist googling this, and am pleasant surprised that although I was wrong (as expected), I at least hit the right decade!
