The Return of Sheep - RESULT

by **seanmichaels** Wed Dec 02, 2015 1:50 pm

First topic message reminder :

Sheep is back albeit without the late (great) host paperbag_puncher.

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "culturally" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. You would PM me your answers for each round. So for example if in a sports round I asked name a boxing heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. There will be 10 questions in each round. Whoever gets the most points in each round of questions wins. There will be 5 rounds in each season provided the pilot is successful.

Points will be awarded to the first 5 players in each game no matter how many players.

1st -10
2nd-7
3rd-5
4th-3
5th-1

If there is a tie for a position players will get equal full points for their position, eg if 3 people tie for 1st then all 3 will get 10 points each. Games must have a minimum of 10 players. The winner of each season will be the person with most points after the 10 games. If level after 10 games the winner will be decided by how many 1st places a person had and so on.

Overall placings, and the new........

Answers in. Cheers

by Stella Fri Dec 04, 2015 1:44 pm

Done

Pearl jam, snoop dog? Had to google I'm afraid!

by Trebs Fri Dec 04, 2015 1:50 pm

I did all but one of the actors just off the top of my head.

This one is going to be impossible though.

by Alistair Fri Dec 04, 2015 2:53 pm

I knew one Pearl Jam song (thanks Guitar Hero).

by Scottrf Fri Dec 04, 2015 2:55 pm

Stop cheating.

by Alistair Fri Dec 04, 2015 2:56 pm

You wouldn't get that on Tino's watch.

by **seanmichaels** Fri Dec 04, 2015 2:59 pm

You are allowed to google on sheep.....

Do you not know he works in the city. You could probably get a camel on Tino's watch.

by Alistair Fri Dec 04, 2015 3:02 pm

Does googling not undermine the quiz? Surely it's the 10 films or songs that YOU think other people will say?

by Scottrf Fri Dec 04, 2015 3:04 pm

Saying which song you'll vote for (The Pearl Jam song on Guitar Hero) undermines the quiz too.

Do you know how many versions of Guitar Hero there are? And how many Pearl Jam songs appear on them?

There are 5 Pearl Jam songs in the series.

I don't think googling and guessing which one might be popular undermines it.

The quiz is a farce. An embarrassment.

I agree with Tina

by Mind the windows Tino. Fri Dec 04, 2015 4:05 pm

I agree with SerialDAVE.

About everything.

Sheep.

by Samo Fri Dec 04, 2015 6:46 pm

Round two was harder than round one, you can name plenty of great songs from a bunch of those artists, especially Bowie, Stones and Foo's.

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds, what goes up, must come down

by **seanmichaels** Mon Dec 07, 2015 4:56 pm

ROUND 3 Results.

Born In the USA 16
Satisfaction* 8
Learn to Fly 6
London Calling 14
Back for Good 9
Space Oddity 8
Jeremy 9
Dancefloor 16
Drop it Like its hot 12
Candle in the Wind 7

Pains me to say it but Windows has only gone and nailed a cleansweep round. Some interesting choices for Take That and Elton John. I assume the poster who went for Pray liked the video...... Obviously a lot of googling for Pearl Jam - could only ever have been Jeremy Alive or Betterman. Jules also makes the Top 5 despite abstaining on TWO questions......

Windows 105
London Tiger 99
MIG 90
Jules 77
Spencerclarke 74
Sir Johnny 74
Crimey (a river) 67
Adam 67
Dagless 60
Stella 60
Nadeem 59

C&R 58
Samo 58
Chequered 52

* Satisfaction tied with Paint it Black so I went on chart position. Satisfaction spent 2 weeks at number 1, Paint it Black just the one.

I think you should reward both rather than add retrospective rules.

I decided before the last rounds results so not really retrospective. In the actor round it would have been highest grossing film.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Dec 07, 2015 5:06 pm

I forgot, but funnily enough I would have picked none of those winning songs.

by Stella Mon Dec 07, 2015 5:07 pm

Was that round 2?

by MIG Mon Dec 07, 2015 5:17 pm

8/10 again. Consistent. Very close with Paint It Black as well. Didn't think for one minute I would have done that well on that round.

by ChequeredJersey Mon Dec 07, 2015 6:06 pm

Once again, I cannot believe some of the most popular choices there. Unbelievable

by compelling and rich Mon Dec 07, 2015 6:34 pm

bit rubbish this round, hows the league table looking?

candle in the wind picard

one of his worse songs

also had paint it black

by ChequeredJersey Mon Dec 07, 2015 6:51 pm

Learn to fly for the Foos. I assume lots of people here hear songs via playing video games?!

by Mind the windows Tino. Mon Dec 07, 2015 9:31 pm

It isn't about picking the 'best' song by an artist/band. The idea is pick the one you think will be the most popular. It isn't that difficult a concept.

I hate every Foo Fighters song as they are all sh*te but I was pretty certain which one other posters would go for.

Same for Seans mate, Elton John. Absolutely appalling song. Dreadful. One of the worst songs I have ever heard. But completely f*king obvious that people would go for it.

by Stella Mon Dec 07, 2015 9:40 pm

London's Calling is the only song which I would have also chosen as my favourite.

by nadeem2099 Mon Dec 07, 2015 9:57 pm

Paint it black Sad

I know, but I keep overestimating people's tastes Wink

Table and Round 3 questions are up. Deadline 3pm tomorrow

by **seanmichaels** Tue Dec 08, 2015 9:29 am

NB Question 10 is track and field

by Stella Tue Dec 08, 2015 9:54 am

Done!

by compelling and rich Tue Dec 08, 2015 9:54 am

hard work trying to second guess you lot on some of these, how good is your cricket knowledge? disagree with a fair few of my picks but lets hope you lot think the same

by **seanmichaels** Tue Dec 08, 2015 10:08 am

greatest ever british f1 driver btw

by Alistair Tue Dec 08, 2015 10:37 am

Boxing, Cricket, Outside UK and Foreign Player were easy to flick between a couple.

by Stella Tue Dec 08, 2015 10:40 am

England's greatest ever batsman could bring up a few names.

by Alistair Tue Dec 08, 2015 10:51 am

Definitely, as will the foreign footballer one. You could have 5 or 6 popular answers.

by Stella Tue Dec 08, 2015 10:59 am

One name instantly entered my head, though yes, there could be a few.

I had two and i changed my original answer and went with what I think will be the more popular one.

Hopefully no more Don Bradmans though.....
