Boxing Sheep Season 4 Game 10 HEEP Deadline Thursday 02/08/12 @2.30pm

by paperbag_puncher Sat 28 Jul 2012, 12:07 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

Game 10 - Sheep Deadline 02-08-12 2:30pm NOTE THIS IS HEEP. The objective of heep is to guess the second highest answer. Scoring is the same as sheep, with the following differences: the highest answer (or tied answers) receives a score of 0, while the second highest answer (or tied answers) gets their points doubled. Highest score wins. THIS GAME IS WORTH DOUBLE POINTS Some questions may be repeat ones as there is a different dynamic to this game.

Name a boxer from Cuba
Name a big punching boxer with a fragile chin
If fights were to the finish (until someone was KO'd not killed) who would be HW champion today
Name an active boxer who is tall for his weight class
Who wins this 4 man tournament Audley, Ali, Rogan, Frazier
Name a movie trilogy
Name a type of street drug
Name a type of bear
Name a Blur song
How old is paperbag_puncher (yes this question is meant to be here)

Supoerfly if anyone said anything other than Monzon or Freitas at a push to that they should not really be on here.

Spot on rowley. Not even me changing the rules to have a two word answer can stop the grizzled Yorkshireman.

by **superflyweight** Tue 31 Jul 2012, 8:24 pm

Argentina was excluded, Jeff. From memory, 13 (thirteen!!!) people went for Duran!

Boxing sheep innuendo is the best.

by TopHat24/7 Tue 31 Jul 2012, 8:26 pm

Argentina was excluded, and Jofre is/was a perfectly acceptable answer too.

by Imperial Ghosty Tue 31 Jul 2012, 8:27 pm

Eder jofre surely

by Rowley Tue 31 Jul 2012, 8:28 pm

In that case I would have said Freitas, first one that came into my head.

by **superflyweight** Tue 31 Jul 2012, 8:31 pm

I scored an ace with Jofre and because it was a game in which you could give two answers, with Prescott as well.

by TopHat24/7 Tue 31 Jul 2012, 8:41 pm

I went with Duran, principally to wind-up superfly and the geography police but also because it is SHEEP and was blatantly going to be the most popular answer.

Precisely. I think Jeff and Superfly are far too old/cantankerous/thoughtful/senile/competitive (delete as applicable) for their own good.

To be honest, I do believe you can fashion an adequate argument that Duran should be included anyway. Central/Latin America is not regarded as a continent in itself, therefore whether it belongs to North America or South America is often a bone of contention - where does N America stop and S America start? Geographically I find it uncomfortable to lump northern Central America countries like Mexico (being the largest most obvious example) in with South America however politically and culturally the countries of Central America fit better with their South America latin cousins.

Which beings us to Panama, straddling the famous canal which is the only physical split betweent the two continents. If one were to use this physical split as the difference maker then Duran, being of Panama City located due west of the canal, could be considered from South America as opposed to North.

I just think in a quiz, be it sheep, a pub quiz or any other kind you should be required to get an answer right.

Like the Olympic one yesterday where the top answers were Tyson and Froch.

It took me ages to find a correct answer (McGuigan), which then turned out to be an ace.

Although that is only one occurrence and when it suits me, I'm more than happy to get points for an incorrect answer.

In fairness there were plenty of 'shades of grey' in that question as it did not specify that it meant someone who had been to the Olympics and failed to medal therefore any non-Olympian world titlist was a valid response.

I haven't asked them personally but I would guess they're very happy about it and consider it a great human achievement with absolutely no controversy whatsoever.

by Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn Tue 31 Jul 2012, 9:10 pm

Any chance of starting this PP!!??

Im getting fed up of always having to wait boxing

by Imperial Ghosty Tue 31 Jul 2012, 9:10 pm

Panama is considered a north American country but parts of it are south American much like Russia and turkey it spans two continents.

by paperbag_puncher Tue 31 Jul 2012, 9:10 pm

I'm just awake. Off work today but thought I'd give you lot a game before I set off to do the never ending list of errands and chores I've been given to do on my day off. Answers will be up shortly. It looks like you lot can keep yourselves entertained debating whether wrong answers should be allowed or not..

She the same one that knocked 5 seconds off her PB (in the heats I think)?

I wouldn't trust the Chinese as far as I could throw them. That said, all medallists are drug tested as a matter of course therefore we will find out if she's on something.

Although again I wouldn't put it passed the Chinese government to have invested heavily in doping to be able to cover it in way ADAs don't know about yet......
