Cant name the artist but those rusty men statues are the ones sticking up out of the sea in Liverpool bay .

Yep they are. I'm quite fond of the rusty men and you have to admire the ego of the man to repeatedly puttting his effugee on display like that. :-)
The artist was in the Irish press recently. We commissioned a piece from him to sit in the Liffy but because we are broke/strapped for cash we cancelled the commision.

Keeping with the maths questions

A set of football matches is to be organised in a "round-robin" fashion, i.e., every participating team plays a match against every other team once and only once.

If 28 matches are totally played, how many teams participated?

Capt'n Midnight · 27-02-2009 8:55pm

8 teams

Cathmandooo · 02-03-2009 11:00am

What is the fastest speed an Irish locomotive has gone ?

Mr.Applepie · 05-03-2009 2:00pm

Can you clarify

a) the fastest Irish built locomotive
b) the fastest speed a loco has gone in the republic of Ireland?

I don't know the answer either way but it'll help narrow down my google search

Capt'n Midnight · 05-03-2009 2:43pm

Google ?
in a pub quiz :rolleyes:

Slow Motion · 05-03-2009 2:51pm

Cathmandooo · 05-03-2009 3:22pm

Ok I'll take a stab at a guess - eh 180 km/h

Capt'n Midnight · 06-03-2009 12:52am

Depends on the mode of transport used to carry it.
