The Foot.ie Challenge

[thischarmingman]

A group of us have been doing this on the Derry forums, join up and compete every day, the more the merrier:

:cool:

It only takes a few seconds to sign up!


New questions will appear each day, and everyone can compare scores at the link above throughout the day. Try to answer questions quickly, because the quizzes are timed. The best cumulative scores at the end of the month go into the hall of fame.

What do I win?

:p

[stann]

Hubris has kicked in big style. :o
Didn't cop it yesterday but 'tis very much an American thing. Feckin' baseball questions! And who the hell is Emeril???!!! :D

[passinginterest]

I thought the questions were easier today. Only one guess for the perfect ten.

Anyone notice my username on there is missing an s, apparently the underlined part makes it unacceptable to their swear filter: passinginterest

You lead todays. I'm happy enough with my 9/10 in 45 secs.

Completing it quickly can sometimes make up for the odd point loss as time is a factor as well.

[stann]

Very much so, should have done the same thing.
Are they the same ten questions everyone gets then? (based on passinginterest's comment)

[passinginterest]

I think they might be different, I don't remember having a baseball question.
Yesterday I had one about ice skating which I didn't have a clue of.

Slightly different to prevent people doing it with multiple logins. ;)

The more people taking part the more fun it is.

It also gets quite competative towards the end of the month.

[Red&White Rover]

Hmmm...I didn't realise it was timed...Shouldn't have answered me fone in the middle of it in that case...

[ollie]

Just did it there...Some (calculated+complete) guess work was required:D

[passinginterest]

Delighted with my first win and in the lead again today. Only the 9/10 this time though.

Bow to my superior general knowledge mere mortals. :)

[Magicme]

Popped my cherry and did ok with 9 outta 10. Will do better tho!

[brendy_éire]

10/10. The last one was a guess tbh mind.
Didn't realise the feckin thing was timed though. Stopped half way through to read a text.

[Schumi]

10/10 Had to guess the NASCAR one though.

[stann]

Back on track. Did realise it was timed but still had to stop, hazard of doing it at work! :D
Oh, and had to guess two as well. ;)
Did anyone else get a question on the Dutch hockey team? What mad way was that worded? Took a pile of seconds to figure out what it meant only to eventually realise it was gibberish!

[Magicme]

Dammit, trying to do it fast and misread a question. Hadnt a clue on one of them. Doesnt help to have a colleague choose to talk sh*** while I am trying to do it either. Grrrrr. Still am number 1 at the mo............yeah I know, its coz am only person to have done it yet this morning.

[Schumi]

Ha! Take that! :)

[superfrank]

7/10.

The William Jefferson Clinton one threw me, I thought it was Thomas Jefferson. :o

[Magicme]

We defo get different questions then as I didnt get any on American presidents.

[lofty9]

Don't know enough about American adverts and Days of Our Lives, learn something new everyday!

[passinginterest]

Only 7 for me today. Tricky questions. Will now start writing out 'I must do better' 100 times.

[holidaysong]

I take too long, that's my problem.. Damn reading all of the question!

[stann]

Tricky questions again today, more feckin' baseball, diseases of biblical characters, a bit to think about, and a couple to take a bit of a stab at! Luckily I remembered hearing of Sweat Cola before the end. :D
Also, not the easiest game to do quickly without a mouse, as the up and down arrows will change your answers if you're not careful. That's my excuse anyway.
55 seconds is good shooting Magicme!

[dfx-]

First day to try it..8/10. Easy enough stuff generally. Except song lyrics:mad:

Bacteria, Hotel California, positions in Aussie Rules

[Magicme]

Thanks Stan and yeah it is more difficult without a mouse I suppose. Must plug my mouse in when do tomorrows.

[superfrank]

I'm slowly getting better. 7, 8, now 9.

[thischarmingman]

In the lead, heading for a first win, fingers crossed...

[oldyouth]

Sorry Mr. Charming. Sign of things to come perhaps??????????/

[Rovers fan]

bad today:o

[stann]

Today's ones not too bad, not at all Americanized, though there was one on Spanish words which was a bit of an either or, and one on Australia / New Zealand cricket grounds that took a bit of working out. :)

[thischarmingman]

sorry mr. Charming. Sign of things to come perhaps??????????/

:(


I usually get pretty good times (fastest today) but never can quite seem to get the full 10.

[dfx-]

10...but slowly :o

[Magicme]

Bum. But in fairness what the hell do I know about the coach of Ohio State?? What sport is that even talkin about? Grr. Only 9 this time and Stann, forgot to plug in the mouse!

[lofty9]

I had a client call in just as I started it. :( Took me about 21minutes :D

[sligoman]

Top so far today:) First ever 10!

[oldyouth]

Was the 'client' called Google??????????

[lofty9]

Was the 'client' called Google??????????

In reference to searching for answers? For over 21 minutes I'd hope I could Google more than 100 questions. However, if I even had to Google one of those questions I had today I would be an imbecile.

[dfx-]

Top so far today:) First ever 10!

Hmmph. 11 seconds :(
