ACES:

Z - Aaron-Bcfc
R - Spirederman
C - Cardsfan
A - HarvSFC

Right off of the bat, we've got an early lead build up for 15 of you. Those 9 points may count for a lot come the end of this thing. But it's still early days. Also, it seems in Harvs haste to get his answers in, he forgot that A is a vowel, not a consonant. Carol would not be pleased.

 

[HarvSFC]

Can I have my answers back please and pretend I never entered this game?

 

[Rammy]

Oh Harv...

 

[Richard Cranium]

Shit.

 

[Oaf]

Now for a tricky one... what constitutes a large number with no given context? Let's see what you guys think...

Question 2: A large number please, Carol

100 - 22

ACES:

1000 - Richard Cranium
200 - Way 4 England
69 - HarvSFC

It seems quite unanimous that 100 is a large number. Congrats to those guys. Two aces in a for for Harv... he may be regretting that last second entry already!

 

[Rammy]

I might be doing as shit as usual, but I'm matching Posh Hammer so far!

 

[Stevencc]

The context is Carol Vorderman and therefore Countdown, oafy! 100 is the largest of the "big numbers" in the Countdown numbers game.

I don't know that. - Way 4 England

All Swallowed Up - HarvSFC

I don't actually know what you guys did to come up with 24mph. Maybe somebody actually figured it out. But regardless, it beat the "correct" answer of African or European. Way 4 England unlucky, getting the reference but giving the wrong bit of the conversation. Harv... I don't even.

 

[Leewilson]

I should have checked this thread. I thought Oaf's round was just a piss take.

 

[Rammy]

I have this beautiful thing called an iPad.

 

[Stevencc]

Lovely piece of honesty from way 4 england there.

 

[Oaf]

The context is Carol Vorderman and therefore Countdown, oafy! 100 is the largest of the "big numbers" in the Countdown numbers game.

Ah, fair point. See, there's more logic to actually getting good answers here than I had even considered!

Want some scores? I know it's usually done on like questions 4, 8 and 10, but this is a FINALE, dammit!

 

[This Charming Mike]

Big respect to the others who put 'African or European'.

 

[HarvSFC]

Disqualify the 24mph people for googling the answer please, Oaf.

 

[JonBCFC]

I think harvs is going for the record of most aces.

 

[blade1889]

I just googled it and it said 50-65KM/h so went with 57.5km/h. Damn people finding another figure.

 

[Oaf]

I should have checked this thread. I thought Oaf's round was just a piss take.

To be fair it sort of was at first, but people wanted to roll with it so it stuck.

My, isn't James the popular one? Also, Harv keeps up the aces!

 

[HarvSFC]

I think harvs is going for the record of most aces.

It's a good job we get +500 J5 bonus points, really.

 

[last request]

This slightly above average start won't last.

Edit - sort of Oaf'd

 

[This Charming Mike]

Muhammed?!

 

[HarvSFC]

Muhammed?!

It's the most common name in England.

 

[Aberstone]

It was the most popular boys name in 2014. Oliver was 2nd and Jack was 3rd. Plumped with Jack because it's been a popular name for quite some time. Meh.

 

[blade1889]

went with Joe cos the first posters name I thought of was JoeJoeJoeJoe

 

[Spirederman]

Big respect to the others who put 'African or European'.

My love for Monty Python made that a particularly difficult one for me. I was so tempted to go for the 'classic' answer.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Adam was the first name (or one of the first two), that seemed as good a reason as any other.
