Given how much people enjoyed this the last time we did it I thought I'd give it another go As with the last time, there isn't a list of questions here. This is because this round of Pointless is a timed quiz (once again using FlexiQuiz which you'll be familiar with from the quick-fire quiz). Similar to actual Pointless, you must enter as many items you can think of which fit the category, and then give your final answer - this will be the one you think the lowest number of people will have guessed. You will have 2 and a half minutes to give all your answers and submit your final answer. The number of people who guessed that answer will be the number of points you get - lowest score wins. For a little more incentive to guess as many as possible, the two people who give the most correct answers for each question will recieve a 3 point deduction from their score. (remember the lower the score the better!) A few more tidbits: - The quiz isn't pausable, but if you copy your exact URL and then paste it again, you should be able to pick up where you left off. - Your guess won't be included in the number of points you get, so you essentially get one less point than the number of people who guessed (if you try and be sneaky and not put your final answer in your list of guesses I'll just add it in anyway). - If your final answer is incorrect, you will be awarded maximum points (equal to the number of players). However there will be no penalty for giving incorrect answers in the first part of each question. - Google is NOT allowed, I can't check this but please don't abuse it - If you feel you'll be unfairly disadvantaged because of a lack of a computer or a disability, let me know and I can send you a version with a longer time limit. - Also, if you lose track of time and forget to post your final answer, you can PM me with it. (but please don't abuse this!) PART 1 | PART 2 (Part 1 *should* link automatically to Part 2 but I've linked both here in case it doesn't) If you have any questions about the game itself, things I've forgotten to mention or errors in the quiz, feel free to comment below. If you have any questions about the questions themselves, please PM me so we don't give the game away! The deadline is Sunday 17th October 23:59, I'll aim to have the results up by Monday but there's a fair chance they'll slip to Tuesday (or even Wednesday as I'm getting busier now). If you want to compete any time before the results come up you can, just let me know in here so I can check the site!

Thanks for writing this - intense but fun! I know I'm going to be kicking myself at so many of these once the answers come out

Hope I've somehow done okay on this - naturally my mind went blank every time a new question appeared

Oops I forgot to put my own answer in for Q1 but otherwise this was very enjoyable and got the grey matter going!

I think I've done that correctly - was tougher than I thought to think of things, especially question 1 where I should have been able to do it but my mind went completely blank

I really enjoyed this! There’s one question where I know for sure that my final answer I gave was an incorrect one and I’m
now kicking myself for it, but curious to see how I do on all the other questions! |

Enjoyed it but think I did absolutely terrible lmao.
I forgot to put my answer in on the first question and then ran out of time and the last one really threw me so that will be fun. Also I literally just read the OP again and realised you were meant to include your final answer in your list as well oops. Wasn't trying to be sneaky I promise.

Hi all! I'll say this nice and early - I don't think the results are going to be on Monday, I'm busy all weekend and there's still quite a bit of counting left to do. I'll give you at least a 12-hour warning to get your results in but it definitely won't be before Monday so keep sending them in!

As much as I thought I wouldn't put myself through the stress of doing this, I did anyway.
Hope I did okay, but imagine I won't have chosen the lower scorers. |

A final push for this - I'll probably accept answers until around midday tomorrow if you want to get some late answers in!
