There has been a request for a quiz this coming Friday from Graham V Green.
I fear if this request is not met there may be hell to pay with Uncle Charlie and his table tennis bats. |

Oh ok...any news of Nibbsy?

|
By:
None at all, sadly.

By:
Oh dear...I hope he is well and all other quizzers are in good form. I haven't been on this forum for ages.

One year ago today, 22nd September 2015, MrNibbs made his last post on a thread he started in 2010. Over those 5 years, he not only created the room, but also provided quite a few forumites with many entertaining quizzes. Even better, we enjoyed lots of discussion and banter.
He is a fellow Nottinghamian, and I hope that he is well. |

I agree with Fenway

Well said, Fenway.
Seems like more than a year too. As you say, it wasn't just about the quizzes. We weren't all of the same mind politically but, unlike this forum, any differences were cast aside. Had many a good night in Nibbsy's chat room. Like you, more than anything else I hope he is well. I hope every bet he has on non-league football, chess or the Brewers to be winning after five innings cops. Finally, I hope he and Miriam Gössner are very happy together. To Mr Nibbs, the man who tried his best to save this forum after Betfair screwed it up. A legend. |

Big thank you again to Studyform for reviving the quizzes.
And for Study, as I got distracted at the time, the quick way to get the golf/Pythagoras solution just uses estimations: 200^2 = 40k; 210^2 =~44k; sum of the squares = ~84k; 300^2 = 90k; answer likely to be round number; therefore 290 a strong candidate. |

If all the questions were like that I'm glad I missed it

Question clearly stated yards, Franzi answered in metres. Those nearest-to points should have been Moony's.
Franzi DQ'd. Scorer wins - it's tradition! |

I agree with Easter. An error comparable with the Mars Climate Orbiter, imo.
