The Official N-E Quiz. Forum prizes to be won! (round 11 complete)

[Shorty]

That's right, it's the return of the N-E Quiz! This has been popular ever since its first appearance back on C-E. The concept is simple, try to answer one of ten questions, win a point. However things are a little different this time. To try and keep things going past one or two rounds, it's going to be organised staff side. So to make things clear, don't bother PM'ing me to ask if you can do the questions next! The staff here will take it in turns to ask the questions.

The benefit of this? Prizes! We'll be offering some supercool forum-esque prizes. If you don't care about custom titles or maybe even something cooler than that, then maybe this won't be for you, but compete anyway, for bragging rights and fun!

Now the boring bit. You have to read this though. If you break any rule here, you'll be disqualified from the round and banned from the thread until the next round!
1. Most importantly: One correct answer per person, per round! The only way you can have another guess at something else is if we tell you that your guess was wrong, which includes if someone else guessed before you, or if Rule 3 comes into play.

2. Post your answer in this thread. Only answer one question until told you are wrong. Post it so that it is clear which number question you are answering. No PMs necessary. Use whatever means you want to get your answer. Google. Wikipedia. IMDB. Carrier Pigeon. It's up to you.

3. If there are questions that have not been answered after 24 hours then the remaining questions are freed up for those who already have a correct answer. This means that it is your only opportunity to get more than one point per round.

4. Scoreboard will be kept in this post. Prizes will probably be given to the top 3 or 5 depending on how successful it is.

5. In the first round by Shorty, the answer to question 9 is Purple Happy.

6.We don't yet know how many staff will be taking place, hopefully all of them! If we get a final number of rounds, I'll let you all know.

7. If the quizmaster makes a mistake (hey, crazier things have happened) send them a Private Message about it.So here it goes. The other rounds might be a bit more fun or clever, but I rushed mine a bit :) Have fun!

Round One is Over!
Questions by: Shorty


1. Which brilliant comic book artist created this image (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/soap_box/batman_superman.jpg)?
Damn right it's Alex Ross, Hellfire.

2. Six games have scored perfectly in Japanese video game magazine Famitsu. Name three of them.
Well done to Haggis, in super quick with the first point of the quiz!

3. What classic movie does this line come from?
"I would have been a great man, if it weren't for all that money..."
Despite a blunder from both quizmaster and contestant, EchoDesiato was determined to get a point in this round with Citizen Kane!

4. How many characters are there in this post?
That's all letters, punctuation... anything you can type with a keyboard. Include: My name and user title and everything else in that grey box except my Wii code, also the post title and my sig. Do not include: "Last edited" text, smileys, the date and time, spaces, anything written on an image, alt-image text or html/bbcode markup. Also, minus ten from the total before posting it.
Answer to my favourite question was 2999! The point goes to Gizmo.

5. What was the subtitle of the first Legend of Zelda title when it was released in Japan?
McMad gets this one: The Hyrule Fantasy

6. What comes next in this sequence?
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55
Smartypants conzer16 either recognised the Fibonacci sequence above, or has quickfire googlefingers! 89 it was.

7. One for the anime fans. Which popular shounen character is this (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/soap_box/naruto.jpg)?
Coolness Bears if I could rep you I would, thanks for getting this one! It certainly is Sanji from One Piece.

8. What is the oldest thread in General Chit-Chat, and who posted it?
The ancient first thread found by ShadowV7. Did he sort the board by "Thread start date", or just go trudging through them all? Who knows....

9. What is the answer to question 9?
Ah Fresh, thanks for reading the rules!

10. After his tragic accident, a certain heroic actor appeared in several low budget movies before his death in 2004. Three of these movies point to a certain moderator from these boards. Which moderator am I talking about?
Nice one, Sparko! Christopher Reeve was in three TV movies with "Black Fox" in the title.


The 24 hours end at 19:00 Saturday 18 August, so from then you can have another guess if you already have one right.

Lastly,
Good luck!

Yeah - I did the wrong search first time and even read the first page. I gotta be quick :D

[EchoDesiato]

I want one of these forum prizes. Why'd I have to be stupid to read that queastion too fast?! Gaaarghhll. I'll keep an eye on the thread title.

[Hellfire]

Anyone care to explain the Christopher Reeve thing?

[Shorty]

DAMN! Sorry guys! I made a mistake!

I could've sworn someone already got question 3

Question 3 is still open!

[EchoDesiato]

3: Citizen Kane

[Shorty]

Thanks :D I'm not going crazy, am I? I'm sure someone got that already xD Now what I posted earlier:


Round one Closed!

Sorry Cube but I double checked and was determined not to give it away for anything other than 2999. Did you remove my wii code? minus the ten? ah well, better luck next time.

Wow that round went very fast! Congrats to all who got points, keep your eyes peeled on the title for the next round! Feel free to discuss.

[Strider]

I nearly had it Echo. You may have beat me this time.

[Supergrunch]

Damn that was fast... it started and finished before I knew about it.

[EchoDesiato]

I'm so happy Google exists. :)

[Cube]

DAMN!

Sorry guys! I made a mistake!

I could've sworn someone already got question 3

Question 3 is still open!

I read the answer to that question, too...

And yes, I removed the Wii code and took away the 10. I probably made some other mistake somewhere.

[ShadowV7]

I thought someone answered the 3rd question aswell.

Is it a round per day since you have 24 hours to get the questions done?

[Gizmo]

MSWord Word Count feature ftw!

[Shorty]

I knew I didn't imagine it! Maybe someone changed their mind and edited within the 2 minute time frame o_o

Whoever it was, I hope you didn't miss out on a point!

[Zell]

Can't believe I missed this, I knew so many!

[EchoDesiato]

Anyone care to explain the Christopher Reeve thing?

He played in three movies called Black Fox.

Shorty, man, c'mon! Start another round. Y'know how wierdly obbsessive I can get when it comes to custom titles.
What other prizes are there? Like, a yellow username, or ability to flame whoever you like for a day? Safage.

[Shorty]

Next round won't be by me, think it'll be Ashley :)

American sitcoms here we come!:D

[Dan Dare]

I'll brush up on my VM knowledge then, I reckon

[Ashley]

American sitcoms here we come!:D

Why have I got a rep as an American sitcom lover? I watch three regularly. I personally don't like sitcoms. I'm more into angst and drama.

Anywho. Yup. Mine'll be up tomorrow, whenever I both to put them up.

Although I am tempted to put it up now, it will be harsh towards those with a social life :p

[Fresh]

I need to re-read my PMs from ash, might have hints at questions in them. *Puts on glasses*

[Ellmeister]

awwwwwwwwww man! I'm at V tomorrow so I can't do these questions =[ Phooey!

[EchoDesiato]

Don't overdo it with the Veronica Mars trivia. :hmm:

[Ashley]

I'll brush up on my VM knowledge then, I reckon

Don't overdo it with the Veronica Mars trivia. :hmm:

Okay here we go.

Question One: What kind of car does Logan drive in seasons one and two
Question Two: Name three films Aaron Echolls was in
Question Three: How many Buffy alum guested on the show
Question Four: What college was Veronica originally intending to attend
Question Five: What is the name of Veronica and Keith's dog
Question Six: What was the mock catchphrase that Keith gave to Sherrif Lamb's election to be Sherrif in season two
Question Seven: What song was playing when Logan and Veronica OMGDANCINGANDTOUCHINGANDCLOSENESSANDTHEYREMEANTTOB E-ed in season two (yes, the Logan fangirls do talk like that. its blood annoying)
Question Eight: What was Woody Goodman's password
Question Nine: How did Piz insult the show's creator
Question Ten: What day did Lilly die on

And before anyone attempts THAT IS ALL A JOKE! (but real trivia). Actual round will come tomorrow. You will get nothing for answering these.

[hobbzinio]

Question 5 - The Dog is called Backup

[Slaggis]

I know it's a joke, but is the buffy question's answer "2"? Joss and alyson? Or where there more?

Joss, Alyson and Charisma.

6: "When in doubt, just whip it out!"

Shockingly close

Joss, Alyson and Charisma.

[Tales]

Question Eight: What was Woody Goodman's password

Lilly Kane?

Question Eight: What was Woody Goodman's password

Lilly Kane?

Nope. Different season. Different evil. Different crime.

Plus I answered it anyway.

[Dan Dare]

the dog is called 'Backup'

[Ashley]

Yes we've been over this. Anyway as fun as this is its essentially spam and just going to clog up this thread. So I'll delete all this before the next round tomorrow/later (depending which way you want to look at it)

[motion]

I wanna play tomorrow, but can you not post it between 10.30am and 10pm cause I'll be watching the rugby :P

Not that much to ask is it? ;)

[Ashley]

11 and a half hours??

Yeah, just a tad.

[motion]

Ah well I'm sure they'll be a break in between at some point :)

[Tom]

1 - logan drives a yellow hummer

i love logan. not like that though!

[Ashley]

An Xterra to be precise :p

[Dan Dare]

when's the next round? 7 gmt or forum time?

[Ashley]

Whenever I shower, change and then both to do it.

[Slaggis]

Whenever I shower, change and then both to do it.

Do it in the evening, there's usually more members on the forum then...wouldn't making it the same time as shorty's make it easier?

[Shorty]

Do it in the evening, there's usually more members on the forum then...wouldn't making it the same time as shorty's make it easier?Weeeell I can see that being a little unfair. There might be certain forum members who could never make it on at that time. I say complete randomness with no heed to who is online at the time will lead to the fairest opportunities.

[Ashley]

Yeah at random times helps make it fairer, so we don't favour people who are always on in the evenings etc.

Round Two!

*ding ding*

This time its a picture round. Under the spoiler cut is fifteen images from various TV shows. You have to tell me what show they were taken from. As usual, you can only guess one per round.

Anyway, here they are (numbers are above the picture):

[Ashley]

I've edited the post to show who has been correct so far.

[Tales]

Can I guess on another picture?

[EchoDesiato]

I've edited the post to show who has been correct so far. Unfortunatly those who are wrong can't guess again. Better luck next round.

That's not what the rules say:
Only answer one question until told you are wrong.

[Ashley]

Yes sorry, got muddled up with the rules. You can have another go.

10: Six Feet Under

[Shino]

14. Tru Calling ?

[Stefkov]

After 24 hours, if they all havnt been answered I can have another go, but can I have a go at more than one, if more than one hasnt been answered?

[McMad]

5. Veronica Mars I think...

[Owario]

Is 6 Dexter?

[Shorty]

After 24 hours, if they all havnt been answered I can have another go, but can I have a go at more than one, if more than one hasnt been answered?Nah, after 24 hours you can guess at just another one as if the round was reset. At least I think that's how it was done in the past.... Anyway I don't see it lasting 24 hours tbh, not with custom titles on the line :heh:

[conzer16]

Whats the dealio with prizes then Shorty? Custom User Titles only for the winner? Or are they chosen by the admins and awarded to top three? Any other prizes going?

[EchoDesiato]

9. Big Love

[Strider]

Well i know none of these. I havn't even watched any of the shows mentioned. Why all this American rubbish?

[ShadowV7]

Stab in the dark. 10) Kevin Hill

[Shorty]

Whats the dealio with prizes then Shorty? Custom User Titles only for the winner? Or are they chosen by the admins and awarded to top three? Any other prizes going?Probably prizes for moer than just first place. Not set in stone yet though.
******You only get to guess at one... as I said breaking the rules means you can't win anything in this round. Will be allowed back in the thread when the round is over. The questions Hobbzinio guessed at are free to guess at again now....

[welsh_gamer]

3. How I met your Mother?

[Haden]

4 ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!

10. Desperate Housewives!!

Spot on!! Well done there!

Am I the first person to get it right? I think I am. If so, woo! Well done on yours too.

[ShadowV7]

This round is seiously hard.I have no idea for any of those.

[Ashley]

Well i know none of these. I havn't even watched any of the shows mentioned. Why all this American rubbish?

Because its my round and its better than British rubbish.

7,8 and 12 left. I think 12 may be a bit too out there (as amusing as that google search is) so I may change it.

[Stefkov]

I'm annoyed that I've seen number 12 on TV before or somewhere, but I cannot remember what it was.

[Slaggis]

I'm annoyed that I've seen number 12 on TV before or somewhere, but I cannot remember what it was.

I'm the same with 7 and 8. It's bugging me big time.

[Ashley]

If number twelve is the last one to still be guessed then I'll change it to another cap, and probably one that will make it easier if you know how to use IMDB.

[Hellfire]

Number 8 is Scrubs.
I know number 12 too, but I can't for the life of me remember the name. meh

Aaah I remember n 12! But now I can't answer :P

[Ashley]

PM me, I wanna see if you're right. But you're right about Scrubs.

[EchoDesiato]

Woohoo! 2 points for me! I need to score in the next round as well, I'm aiming for the #1 spot. :heh:

[Slaggis]

Woohoo! 2 points for me! I need to score in the next round as well, I'm aiming for the #1 spot. :heh:

Woo! 2 points for me too.

[EchoDesiato]

Oh, crap. I just realized I won't be home for the majority of the day tomorrow. D:

[Dyson]

Yay. I don't know them.

[EchoDesiato]

Yay. I don't know them.

Neither do I. But try googling what you see in the image combined with "tv show". That's how I found mine. Though it seems quite impossible to do that with the remaining images...

[Shorty]

Oh, crap. I just realized I won't be home for the majority of the day tomorrow. D:Don't even know if we have the next round lined up, they won't necessarily be 1-per-day.

[Hellfire]

When I can post another answer post something :P

[Sparko]

7: 30 Rock

[Ashley]

Bloody hell thats taken long enough. Everyone (well two people) guessed it was AD and surely its not that hard to check IMDB.

[Sparko]

Yep, just a quick glance through Will Arnett's profile on IMDB and once I seen 30 Rock I just knew it had to be that!

[Slaggis]

Bloody hell thats taken long enough. Everyone (well two people) guessed it was AD and surely its not that hard to check IMDB.

Are you changing the pick on number 12 or keeping it as it is?

[Ashley]

I honestly don't know...was going to ask Shorty for his opinion but the rapscallion is MIA.

[Slaggis]

I honestly don't know...was going to ask Shorty for his opinion but the rapscallion is MIA.

I'd give someone else who hasn't got one right yet a chance and change it, I mean it is pretty hard as it is.

Meh why not.

This image REPLACES #12 from the previous batch but you still can't guess if you have already guessed any others. This is not a new round, but instead a replacement for one from the last round (and hopefully something that will disturb you all :p)

Mhm I knew it would be easy if I changed it to that. Could have made it more difficult but theres no need to drag it out.

[Hellfire]

God I hate that girl. I really do.

[Blackfox]

My round will be next. I should have it done for around 3am, ish.

[Brass_Monkey]

God I hate that girl. I really do.

I second that. I've tried to find out which series it is, without any success. If I had to make a guess, I would've said Grey's Anatomy, but even though I've never watched the show, I know that I'm wrong. I'm giving up...

[Ashley]

Jebus I've made it 100 times easier. Get off your arses people!

[Tales]

It looks like the daugher of that rock star. They did have show on MTV I think. Ozzy Osbourne or something like that.

Edit: Life as we know it?

[Hellfire]

Finally! Jeez!
:D

[Ashley]

Mhm tell me about it.

Anyway. Updated the leader board with the new scores.

[Tales]

Yay, IMDB for teh win!

10. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem?

Yeah, silly me for not reading the rules. :(

[Stefkov]

I found it, then saw you posted and thought damnit too late. Like before, but then I saw you'd aready answered one So I went ahead.

I was looking at a picture of the Brain one and saw pons and thought the arrow was pointing to somewhere else :(

I know its a trick question...

9 = Caleb Deschanel

[Strider]

15. By holding down Control and Shift and clicking on the little Pi icon in the corner of the screen

Do i get a point for going further than Owario?

[EchoDesiato]

7. Dammit, got rickrolled!

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

* Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

(* repeat)

give you up. give you up
give you up, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

(* repeat 3 times)


Is it actually possible to get a point for 7? And more importantly, did I get it?

[Ellmeister]

10. The Old Ferryboat Inn, Holywell, Cambridgeshire. A contender for Britain's oldest pub, on the basis that recent archaeology has shown that parts of the foundations may date to AD 460 and that there is evidence of ale being served as early as AD 560.

13. is Thirteen

Our fine educational establishment was founded in 1927, squire.

10. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem?

This is the answer I was looking for.

10: Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem

Sorry, bit too late!

10. Actually you'll find that the oldest pub in England is also the oldest one in Britain, and according to the Guinness Book of Records is Ye Olde Fighting Cocks of St Albans in Hertfordshire

Hmm, I always thought it was the Ye Olde Trip..that's the answer I was looking for though, so the point I'll give.

I know its a trick question...

9 = Caleb Deschanel

No trick question, correct now anyway.

15. By holding down Control and Shift and clicking on the little Pi icon in the corner of the screen

Do i get a point for going further than Owario?

Sorry, I would give you the point if you'd watched the film instead ;)

Question 16) 1905?

Am i allowed a go at a question? seeing as my last post i knew was correctly posted by someone earlier?

Oh just read the rules again, which i think does allow me to post.

Anyway:

3. zwartevos

Unless some sneaky Mod has changed the answer to the last quiz.

[Cube]

Only answer one question until told you are wrong

You have been told you are "wrong" (as someone else answered first), so you may have a go at another question. It's one correct (as in correct and accepted) answer per person per round.

[Supergrunch]

The oldest pub is in St. Albans? Jeez, thats 5 minutes drive from here, may aswell grab a beer there when I turn 18.
It's also very close to my old school.

[Shorty]

We can still read that yknow.

[Gizmo]

Is the answer to 16 Hull and York Medical School ,established 2003?

[Shorty]

Edited the rules to include people who were beaten to it. If someone beats you to a correct answer, you can guess at something else, its the same as being wrong.

[Blackfox]

4: None (0 tonnes). American money (even new American money) is made of linen, silk, and cotton.

Motion finishes the round.

Most American money is 75% cotton and 25% flax, as cotton paper is hardly to counterfeit. Anyway, thought I'd throw in a trick one for ya!

Next round!

[Charlie]

ROUND 4


Only a few obscure questions. I tried to make them ones that couldn't just be googled in a few seconds. :heh:

1) Irn Bru, the popular Scottish drink, is made from what (according to the advert)? (Bonus point if you record yourself saying it in a Scottish accent)
Haggis has a good memory, the advert hasn't been on for years.

2) Name the 4 members of the band 'Queen'.
Strider's too quick for Haggis on this one, beats him by a matter of seconds.


3) Which forumite started the thread for the previous NE Quiz?
Cube gets it (and completely and utterly confuses me whilst doing so)

4) Which ex-forum member made the text on my sig?
Supergrunch gets it after yet more confusion

5) Which university will I be attending come September?
Motion's been paying attention in the University thread


6) Name 3 forum members who won an iPod from the Coca Cola thing. (1 point for each member. Only name 1 person as you won't get anymore than 1 point)
Ellmeister and Hellfire get 2 of them and EchoDesiato grabs the 3rd point.

7) My brother is a member here, what's his username?
And Eddage finishes off yet another wonderful round

8) Where did I go for 3 weeks in June with my school?
Sparko's done his homework

9) Which forum member did I meet at the midnight launch of the Wii at GameStation in Stirling?
Coolness Bears takes it with the hint

[Fresh]

Can we come up with more imaginative questions than ones that seem to go along similar lines about the host? One of two questions about the person is nice but when when you have seven or eight it starts to get silly.

[Charlie]

Questions like this are good because you can't just type in 2 words to Google to find out the answer. You either know it or you don't (I haven't kept any of those answers a secret, I know I've posted about them all on the forum at one point or another).

Come on, I'm trying to remember his old capitalisation. (I think he had some)

3. MeiK

[Dyson]

4. Blackfox?

Not a clue why but...it seems familiar XD

ZOMG I now know the answer to another... tell me I'm wrong already!

Edit: Dammit, Coolness Bears saw the hint before me.

Hint: It's not Meik, part of that group of people though (goes for Q4 too).

And Blackfox isn't 4, whoever said that.

3. Owario?

4. Stocka?

7. Balfron?

How the hell did I miss the start of this quiz!? I remember the last one where myself (then Twilight Link) and Ninja_Mullet (possibly called The_Peeps now, but I could be making that up) were battling it out at the top for most of it. I think he was a point ahead of me when it just seemed to randomly stop!

[Dyson]

I want to say Dabookerman for 4 but I'm pretty certain it wasn't him :P

Heck, why not. DBM.

[Zell]

4. Meik?...

[ShadowV7]

Dammit I keep missing when the new round starts >.< I could grabbed me a point :(

[Blackfox]

That didn't happen with Ash's round, you just have you be a bit more imaginative.

We don't all have Ashley's knowledge of TV shows though.. I think Moria's way of doing it is the best, i.e. its not a mad race to google or wikipedia.

[Slaggis]

Which staff member's next?

Ashley's quiz was the best. I know not veryone knows American tv shows too well, but the whole searcing round the internet for the answer that's pretty hard to find (i.e only a picture for a clue) was pretty good.

[conzer16]

Dammit - missed round 4 completely.

Dammit - missed round 4 completely.
Round 4? I didn't even know that round 3 had started. Does anyone know how many rounds there will be?

It's not certain yet, but a few more people have signed up in line and the next person's already got their cue. When it'll appear is pretty much up to them though.

[Blackfox]

Scoreboard updated upto Round 3. :)

[Cube]

ROUND 5

Time for a video game-related round. Listen to the music and guess what game they are from. All games have been released on a Nintendo console. Some are so easy that they may as well be free points. A few are more obscure (I think...It's quite different knowing where the music comes from before you listen and listening to a carefully selected part of a song without getting told where it is from. So I can't really test some of those that I think are obscureish).

1. Question 1 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz01.mp3)
After a long day, Haggis finds the final answer.

2. Question 2 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz02.mp3)
Hellfire sure knows his RPG music.

3. Question 3 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz03.mp3)
The genetically enhanced McMad defeats all competition.

4. Question 4 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz04.mp3)
welsh_gamer responds to the JPop themes of Red Steel.

5. Question 5 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz05.mp3)
conzer16 steals the easiest of questions.

6. Question 6 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz06.mp3)
Eddage speeds through the answer.

7. Question 7 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz07.mp3)
Stefkov shoots for the stars and earns a point.

8. Question 8 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz08.mp3)

9. Question 9 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz09.mp3)
weeyellowbloke wins Epona and trades her for a point.

14. Question 14 (http://www.n-europe.com/cube/quiz14.mp3)
