Bill Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm bumping this up to see if we can get more peeps posting quizzes, they can be any sort of quiz not only sporting ones. I'll set the ball rolling again with this one ................................. An explorer was captured by the Oomigoolie Tribe whose Chief had decided he was to die, but the chief offered him the option "Give me just one single statement and if its true you will be thrown over a cliff, if its false you will be eaten by lions". What single statement did the explorer give to force the Chief into letting him go. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 "I'll be eaten by lions." If the lions eat him it'll become true so they can't do that.... ....which makes it false so they can't throw him off the cliff . I actually worked that out all by myself without any googling....quite proud of that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Well done Mike i'll have to find you a tougher one. Why are 1988 pennies worth more than 1983 pennies. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Because it's 1,988 pennies not 1988. In money terms it would be 1,988p which is more than 1,983p. I hope that's right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yes, because there is 5 pennies more. The brain normaly attaches dates to figures without a puntuation mark, you must have no brain Dark. Can see i am wasting my time here, we have too many intellects on this Forum. Think i'll let someone else have a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. Noticing something strange about the way the man said this, the barman pulled out a gun. The man said thank you and walked out without getting his glass of water. How can this be explained?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 OK here's a tough one (to which I don't know the answer). On the back of today's results... When was the last time that the "big" four failed to score a goal between them in a round of premier league matches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 OK here's a tough one (to which I don't know the answer). On the back of today's results... When was the last time that the "big" four failed to score a goal between them in a round of premier league matches? 1993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 1993 Is that a guess or a fact Mark? Edit: Gary Lineker just said on MOTD that it's never happened before in premier league history so that rules out '93 . Also going back that far Chelsea were far from being part of any "big" group.....and going back a little further you get Chelsea, ManU and Liverpool outside of the top flight so the question loses its relevance.

Romey 1878 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Is that a guess or a fact Mark? Jeff Stelling said it on Soccer Saturday so that's what I'm going off Mike, it could very well be wrong because I didn't research it. There's a job for you .

I know they weren't the big four in 1993 but that's when none of the current big four scored a goal between them according to Stelling.

Blue 250 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Quiz question for the oldies or anyone who has researched old players(for whatever reason!) Question: Which British footballer was being talked about by these two managers? Sir Alf Ramsey, said "his biggest regret was that this player wasn't born an Englishman" Sir Matt Busby, unhesitatngly said, That this player was the diamond he never polished" Not hard to work out the period ie mid to late 60's......Not going to be players like Best or Law as they were obviously "polished", by Sir Matt! Read this fact in a book by the said players brother in law!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Nobby Stiles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue 250 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Well then! Dark, unlucky mate, Nobby Stiles was the brother in law in question! marcopaulo, correct!.....John Giles is the player in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 John Giles is the player in question. Leeds player under Revie and as such, by definition, beneath contempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I came across these little teasers, I haven't looked at them much and don't know if they're much good, but there something to have to keep us occupied (: In this teaser, you have to find the odd ones out in the groups of words. BUT WAIT! There's a catch. Each group of words has TWO words which do not belong. Can you find them both? Example Lily - Jane - Tulip - Rose Jane does not belong as it's the only one which is not a flower Tulip also does not belong because it's the only one which is not a girl's name 1. Dodge - Ford - Lincoln - Hoover 2. King - Earl - Knight - Bishop 3. Yellow - Green - Dead - Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonKey Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 1. Dodge was not a president of the USA Hoover is not a car manufacturer 2. Earl is not a chess piece. Bishop is a religious figure. The other 2 aren't. 3. Green is the only one which is not a sea. Dead doesn't belong because it's not a colour.

The Regulator Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 George Bernard Shaw. close but no cigarillo there el capitan; the trick to this riddle is to answer the statement not the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 OK, gonna cut across that because if it's not George Bernard Shaw or Sean O'Casy's thermometer I'm stumped. Talking about cricket (see what I did there ).... If a batsman is out "without troubling the scorers," does it cause the scorers any trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Try this one.... First Merseyside derby 13th Oct 1894....Everton win 3-0. What's wrong with the following statement... "...in 1894 it was Everton who drew first blood, as they beat the reds 3-0 at Goodison Park." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
