my anxiety attacks Joined: 15 April 2009 Posts: 30,754 User: 8,674	Just caught up on this, thanks for hosting Wardy and don't worry about a couple of mistakes Can't believe I managed to get a pointless answer with Lady Gaga Don't regret going for the icon that is Michelle McManus even if I was one of the only people not to get a pointless answer on that last question - my other thought was Ava Max "Sweet But Psycho" and that appears as if it would've been pointless The Now! question was hard but I read something that said Robbie had the most appearances including his appearances with Take That so glad that they were a safe answer, my initial thought were Westlife I might not have pointed it out had he finished below me but since I came 31st and just shy of leaderboard points , if I was taken down with question 2...I think Mack's answer of ABBA should be incorrect as "Waterloo" was re-released in 2004 and appears to have reached #20 QUOTE(StoneDragon @ Feb 15 2021, 10:09 PM) I would also argue that some of the correct answers aren’t really food - sweetener and pepper for example (sorry guys) So what would you call this if not food?

Very good point J❄️hq - I was thinking of the condiment at the time - as in salt and pepper. A bell pepper didn't come to mind. I still stand by sweetener isn't a food It's because I'm bitter that I got one question wrong and it cost me about 26 places!

That's tough on Mack as it's a re-entry that's not obvious from looking at their discography, but if Andrea Bocelli gets ruled out I guess ABBA should too. TBC by Wardy but if the 37 points for rio309 (as mentioned on the last page) and Mack are added, the scoreboard would look like this: 1-13: as currently shown 14-26: everyone from Simon to n4yr up 1 place 27: Dan1F1 (58 points) 28: Chez Wombat (61 points) 29 (joint): rio309, J❄️hq, Riser (62 points) 32-33: up 1 place each; 34: Mack 35-38: as currently shown

I have asked someone else to take over the scoring and updating the leaderboard as it seems I just can’t bear making more mistakes with people’s scores. EDIT: Could someone also check over chrissmith276’s score because of my decision to give him maximum points for one question. This post has been edited by awardinary: 17th February 2021, 11:25 AM

EDIT: Could someone also check over chrissmith276’s score because of my decision to give him maximum points for one question. I've checked over Chris's scores and they seem correct if you stick to the maximum points for that question - personally I don't think you could realistically class UB40 as a boy band, sorry Chris! The final say is Wardy's though to confirm if that maximum score still stands? This post has been edited by Mangø: 17th February 2021, 12:54 PM

To be honest I found that question very tough, and I don't do any sort of Googling to come up with, or check, my answers, so just had to take a punt on something that seemed vaguely feasible!

Apologies again n4yr, I can see where I didn’t reflect this penalty, it was on question 11, as I marked “Coffee” as a non-food item but didn’t state this at the time of the results. Again, if you wish to debate it this is fine, I have stepped aside from being the judge of what’s right and wrong and will kindly ask Mangø or jimwatts to make the final decision on that answer. This is why I won’t host a Pointless quiz again, too many margins for error on my part.

You did such an amazing job of it though, it will be a shame not to have another. I personally am not bothered about the results, just the answers showing which were pointless would be fine, or what scored what. If people are that bothered about winning they could add up their own scores themselves?

I would have to agree that coffee is a drink, not a food.

It is a bit of a grey are so I won't complain about it being marked wrong.
