Fifteen to One (Game 2, Round 3: !?!?)

imaginality · Post Post #30 (isolation #1) » Sat Dec 27, 2014 9:41 am

Um, hmm. I guess it's probably something more metric, so, 10 or 100... I'll go with 10

I can only think of Waverley and Ivanhoe but haven't read either, just heard them mentioned in passing (probably in other quizzes

). Ivanhoe?

Greece.

imaginality · Post Post #88 (isolation #5) » Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:37 pm

Oh, and if correct, I nominate Nobody Special.

So does that make thermodynamics a twig of science?

imaginality · Post Post #137 (isolation #7) » Fri Jan 09, 2015 6:46 pm

Belgium and... Germany?

PrivateI if I'm right.

Bring it on!

imaginality · Post Post #180 (isolation #10) » Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:53 pm

The Blues Brothers?

imaginality · Post Post #215 (isolation #11) » Sun Jan 25, 2015 12:36 pm

Dry conditions

(how's that for on time? :p )

Pretty sure I'm right, so I'll nominate Nobody Special.

Glad the topic changed, because I have no idea what Europe's

fourth-busiest

airport is!

imaginality · Post Post #252 (isolation #13) » Sun Jan 25, 2015 5:04 pm

The easiest one I've had so far - 42!

(By which I mean, 42, not 42 factorial

)

Over to Xalxe next.

13 in a row? Wow. If only we were playing The Weakest Link.

As a sidenote, Fifteen to One is the epitome of what quiz shows should be. Some interaction, but the focus kept firmly on the questions, which were fairly challenging without being Mastermind-level impossible. And no prizes worth mentioning - people playing just for the glory. (I think at most the winner of each series got a crystal bowl, perhaps.) Good show, it was (is? is it still on?).

kanji. and... ugh... no idea... hanji?

imaginality · Post Post #283 (isolation #16) » Wed Jan 28, 2015 2:39 pm

I predict the answer will be one of the following: Nepal and China, 1933, random access memory,

Brighton Rock

, isobars, Mark Twain, or badgers.

imaginality · Post Post #285 (isolation #17) » Wed Jan 28, 2015 4:26 pm

From the sound of it, I'm thinking Corsica or Corfu, but isn't Corsica French (I know Napoleon got exiled there)? So...

Badgers

Corfu?

JasonWazza if I'm right.

imaginality · Post Post #294 (isolation #18) » Thu Jan 29, 2015 9:38 pm

Pass (might be useful if we say pass during the buzzer round to save time if we all don't know it, rather than wait 24 hours in case someone answers).

imaginality · Post Post #307 (isolation #25) » Sun Feb 01, 2015 11:19 am

Hmm. Let's see if I can get a few runs on the board. Question, please.

imaginality · Post Post #309 (isolation #26) » Sun Feb 01, 2015 11:36 am

Sierra Madre.

Question again.

imaginality · Post Post #311 (isolation #27) » Sun Feb 01, 2015 11:46 am

The 6th day.

Question.

imaginality · Post Post #313 (isolation #28) » Sun Feb 01, 2015 12:36 pm

I haven't actually seen it but I (think I)'ve heard of it... Rear Window?

Question again, if I'm right.

imaginality · Post Post #315 (isolation #29) » Sun Feb 01, 2015 2:12 pm

Italy.

And with that, I'll

nominate Xalxe

- don't want to push my luck too far.

imaginality · Post Post #318 (isolation #30) » Mon Feb 02, 2015 4:30 pm

Hmm... nominate JasonWazza.

imaginality · Post Post #321 (isolation #31) » Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:55 pm

Eh, it would be boring to win by timeouts. I'll take a question.

Question again.

Hippocratic, I presume

imaginality · Post Post #327 (isolation #34) » Wed Feb 04, 2015 6:12 pm

(and question again)

imaginality · Post Post #329 (isolation #35) » Wed Feb 04, 2015 8:44 pm

Caves. Or caving... hmm. If the distinction matters, I'll go with caves.

Question again, hopefully

imaginality · Post Post #331 (isolation #36) » Fri Feb 06, 2015 1:23 pm

Flag (shapes)?

imaginality · Post Post #332 (isolation #37) » Fri Feb 06, 2015 1:30 pm

Question again, in case I'm right. Oriflamme rang a bell - I think it's either something flaggy or something kitey.

imaginality · Post Post #334 (isolation #38) » Fri Feb 06, 2015 2:28 pm

No idea. I'll guess... Maude.

imaginality · Post Post #336 (isolation #39) » Fri Feb 06, 2015 3:43 pm

Three - one each way and a service one.

Pass to Xalxe

Yet again Guinness neglectfully overlooking the brilliant, pathbreaking motor-racing-and-missile-firing thing of joy that was 'Supercars 2' (Amiga) :p

imaginality · Post Post #367 (isolation #42) » Wed Feb 18, 2015 3:27 pm

Observatories!

Hmm. Nine questions left, two in the lead, two lives left... I'll take a question, please

imaginality · Post Post #369 (isolation #43) » Wed Feb 18, 2015 3:52 pm

Hmm... tetanus? I know it's not measles, mumps, rubella or polio, or hep c... actually it might be TB, but I'll go with tetanus. Definitely something that starts with T.

imaginality · Post Post #371 (isolation #44) » Wed Feb 18, 2015 4:45 pm

Argh...

At least I know this one though... Malta.

And I'll nominate Xalxe.

Yeltsin, I think? I think Gorbachev was the last whatever rather than the first president.

Um. My first thought was Steven Spielberg, but that's not right, I don't think. But I don't know who it was if it wasn't him.

imaginality · Post Post #581 (isolation #61) » Sun Aug 16, 2015 10:32 am

At least I have a 50-50 chance this time.
Pretty sure it's either Prohibition or votes for women.
I'll go for Prohibition as it suits the wording of the question a little better.

If I'm right, I choose SaveTheDragons.

imaginality · Post Post #606 (isolation #65) » Thu Aug 20, 2015 7:43 pm

Hmm. Presumably one of the well known ones. I'll go for Sylvester McCoy.
