NEW GAME! Boxing Kangaroo 13/07 Deadline 2:15pm

by paperbag_puncher Thu 05 Jul 2012, 10:20 am

First topic message reminder :

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.

Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit

NOTE THIS IS KANGAROO. In kangaroo answers must be incorrect. Incorrect answers score the same as in sheep, while correct answers score 0. Highest score wins. Again I have recycled some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game again

THIS GAME IS JUST FOR FUN.

Name a boxer who fought and lost to Ricky hatton
Name a current British boxer who holds a World Title
Name and English boxer who was born in London
Name a British boxer who has never been KO'd
Name a British HW who is fighting at Upton Park this weekend
Name a character from the Simpsons whos surname is Simpson
Name a British actor who hasn't won an Oscar
Name an English city
Name a country that uses the Euro
Name a football team that retained its premier league status in the 20011/2012 season

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 2:15Pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most popular answer

rules:

game 1:

game 2:

game 3:

game 4:

game 5:

game 6:

game 7:

game 8:

game 9:

game 10:

Can you please PM your answers on their own in an unnumbered list. So without the questions or numbers beside them. Thanks it makes the calculating much easier thumbsup

I agree, actual Scrabble scores for that question (specified beforehand of course) could have been a nice twist.

by alanqlm Fri 06 Jul 2012, 11:09 am

It has blank squares though which can be used as a Z

Vazquez wasnt a great show of scrabble knowledge on my part just the 1st name came into my head.

by **Union Cane** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 11:11 am

alanqlm wrote:It has blank squares though which can be used as a Z

True, but blank tiles have no value so would not count towards the total score.

by alanqlm Fri 06 Jul 2012, 11:14 am

Really I was completely unaware of this... learn something new everyday and all that.

by paperbag_puncher Fri 06 Jul 2012, 11:15 am

New questions are up

by Il Gialloblu Fri 06 Jul 2012, 11:16 am

How could you play Michalczewski anyway with only nine tiles? It's not like there's another word there that you can add to.

Never mind the fact that proper nouns aren't allowed in Scrabble anyway...

A Scrabble set only has one Z.

There are two blank squares that can be used as Z's.

by **Union Cane** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 11:30 am

I've already shot down that suggestion, TopHat.

by TopHat24/7 Fri 06 Jul 2012, 11:36 am

LOL yes, just noticed our posts cross over. Regardless, Il Gialloblu has shot down the entire game anyway......

by **owen10ozzy** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 11:54 am

BOTTOM!! I feel horrendous...safe to say this is becoming a drug....some real high's...and then a huge come down! I've hit Rock Bottom...I should give up and quit now...but noooo....

Proper nouns come into play in Scrabble rule change

Mattel said the use of names will add a "new dimension" to Scrabble
The rules of word game Scrabble are being changed for the first time in its history to allow the use of proper nouns, games company Mattel has said.

Place names, people's names and company names or brands will now count.

Mattel, which brings out a new version of the game containing amended rules in July, hopes the change will encourage younger people to play.

Until now a few proper nouns had been allowed which were determined by a word list based on the Collins dictionary.

Enough about Scrabble. That's my last word on the topic mate.

Until question 10 of the next game...

by bhb001 Fri 06 Jul 2012, 12:23 pm

Pig of a first question and then down hill after that!! After an unexpectedly good (for me) result in the last round, I will be back to being the strongest (at the bottom, holding everyone up) form this time around!
