View Full Version : Pub Quiz in the Walkley/Crookes/Broomhill area? Basil01 29-04-2009, 18:18 Any suggestions for a decent quiz night? Been to the Ball but it always starts soooooooooo late. goldenfleece 29-04-2009, 18:22 The York has a weekly quiz every Wednesday and win a gallon of beer, free entry, proving VERY popular indeed....from 9.30 pm Rich 29-04-2009, 18:38 Thing is though, in my experience most quizzes that advertise a half 9 start, never actually DO start till nearly 10 by the time everyone that wants a quiz sheet has got one, and the guy who's reading the quiz is done serving on the Bar and feeding the answers to the team in the corner who win most weeks. kucia 29-04-2009, 19:30 The York like mentioned Calahan 29-04-2009, 19:32 Princess Royal and Cobden View, can't remember what days as I type tho. Coupla good quizzes, coupla good pubs. goldenfleece 30-04-2009, 08:31 Thing is though, in my experience most quizzes that advertise a half 9 start, never actually DO start till nearly 10 by the time everyone that wants a quiz sheet has got one, and the guy who's reading the quiz is done serving on the Bar and feeding the answers to the team in the corner who win most weeks. no team in the corner being fed the answers at the York.....they have to use their brains here......you can hear the creaking...... One day, a person went to horse racing area, Instead of counting the number of human and horses, he instead counted 74 heads and 196 legs. Yet he knew the number of humans and horses there. How did he do it, and how many humans and horses are there? brianthedog 30-04-2009, 10:47 Thing is though, in my experience most quizzes that advertise a half 9 start, never actually DO start till nearly 10 by the time everyone that wants a quiz sheet has got one, and the guy who's reading the quiz is done serving on the Bar and feeding the answers to the team in the corner who win most weeks. That your excuse for loosing?! PeteM01 30-04-2009, 11:38 no team in the corner being fed the answers at the York.....they have to use their brains here......you can hear the creaking...... One day, a person went to horse racing area, Instead of counting the number of human and horses, he instead counted 74 heads and 196 legs. Yet he knew the number of humans and horses there. How did he do it, and how many humans and horses are there? I presume he knew the difference between a human head and a horse's head but for us, we need a little GCSE algebra. 24 horses and 50 humans? goldenfleece 30-04-2009, 12:20 Let's assume that HM = Human and HR = Horse HM + HR = 74 2HM + 4HR = 196 (2HM + 4HR) - (2 HM + 2HR) = 196 - 148 2HR = 48 HR = 24 HM + (24) = 74 HM = 74 - 24 HM = 50 goldenfleece 30-04-2009, 12:21 Of three men one man always tells the truth, one always tells lies, and one answers yes or no randomly. Each man knows which man is who. You may ask three yes/no question to determine who is who. If you ask the same question to more than one person you must count it as question used for each person whom you ask. What three questions should you ask? PeteM01 30-04-2009, 12:23 Let's assume that HM = Human and HR = Horse HM + HR = 74 2HM + 4HR = 196 (2HM + 4HR) - (2 HM + 2HR) = 196 - 148 2HR = 48 HR = 24 HM + (24) = 74 HM = 74 - 24 HM = 50 Are you trying to tell me that I was right? I claim my prize! I have to say that I could not have accomplished the algebra after a couple of pints of your fine ales, though. goldenfleece 30-04-2009, 12:24 Are you trying to tell me that I was right?

That question was not in last nights quiz....but it MIGHT be next week, who knows.......:) |
