Another example where technology should be brought in. A second quizmaster with the advantage of replays would have picked this up in-play. Will spectators be refunded for the void match?

Myself and JJ do go over each other's questions prior to matches in this cup but with this one if neither of us had seen the film in question we naturally wouldn't query it as thinking that the website was incorrect.

I was amazed to hear A Beautiful Mind was 4hrs 23 mins :0 , but never having seen it couldn't have argued (without checking it up)
However i would deffo have been posting HOLD if i'd been playing for questions 3 and 6: How could someone co-write a play with Shakespeare in 1654 when he had died in 1616?? As for the end of the middle ages , there is no agreement whatever amongst historians . The Fall of Constantinople i have never heard given as the end before ( though you could make a case for it , it didn't really transform the way people lived at the time ) .The Battle of Bosworth (which Gleeman went for), and the consequent beginning of Tudor England , is certainly often cited as the end of Medieval England .But more generally the significant events that ended the middle ages are either Columbus discovery of the New World or France's invasion of Italy in 1494 (with the sort of weaponry that made medieval type warfare obsolete) . Often people simply use the date of 1500 as a cut off point , but whatever they do it is usually 1480+. |

I dunno Tobes. Maybe Fletcher wrote half of it - then died - Bill found it in the attic when he moved in to Fletcher's old gaff and finished it orf.

Shakespeare died in 1616 MoMM

Ok. Well the other way round then. Bill's great unfinished work which Fletcher found at a boot sale and added a bit to it. You never know, it could have happened like that :)

A Beautiful Mind just seems like it's 4 hours long because it's so sh!t.
If the same situation arose in my game and I was in redbag's shoes, I would insist that gleeman went through - which tbf he has offered. Both players been very sporting about it - the law is an ass imo. And I mean it - if it happens in my game I'd forfeit rather than play on at 0-0 when I should rightfully have lost. |
|
By:
But half the Qs were VOID!
Has to be a replay I always say that if someone gives what has been pre-set as the 'correct' answer , then they should not lose on that Q , should just be voided . |

Has anyone checked to see if A Beautiful Mind was the longest of that bunch?
Its a great film BTW and one of my favourites. |
|
By:
LOTR is a facking long film.
|
|
By:
yeah BC , i never got to the end of it

There was only one question in this quiz which was dubious and where a goal was scored. It was rightly disallowed after the game and the game will continue later with a replacement question, then extra time if no goal is scored.

By:
according to wiki the shakespeare question is fair enough - though it was published in 1634
|
|
By:
I never disputed the guy co-wrote it but should have been asked as 'published in 1634' rather than 'the 1654 play' , which makes you think it was written that year, and start thinking of people who were alive at the time

By:
not perfectly worded admittedly

FINAL 90 MINUTES SCORELINE
GLEEMAN 0-0 REDBAG The match therefore moves to extra time golden goal. Up to 3 standard GK questions will be asked. None of them will be on LITERATURE or BELIEFS. The first quizzer to get a goal is the winner. If after these 3 questions there is still no goal, we move to 'nearest to' questions... Please type OK if you are ready... |
