Posted October 19, 201014 yr BUZZJACK FAMILY FORTUNES - WEEK 6 Below are 10 'Family Fortunes' style questions. You will note that none of these questions have one exact answer; instead there are a number of "correct" answers for each. Your job is to decide what will be the most POPULAR of the answers amongst the good people of Buzzjack. You will score marks for providing the most popular answer, using the following method. For example, if I was to ask you to name a popular male singer, there are thousands of possible "correct" answers. The basic theory is that if you were to answer Elton John, and so did 11 other members, you would score 11 points. If you were to answer George Michael, and 5 other members did also, you would score 5. And so on. HOWEVER - you cannot score points from your OWN team members. So if I were to answer 'Andorra' to question #2, as did 4 other Waffle members, aswell as 3 Silk Bullets, 2 Quest and 2 Toxic Champagnes, I would only score 7 from the other 3 teams rather than the full 11. This may seem like an utterly silly and needless complication, but it's to prevent teams from scoring simply by conferring and ensuring they all submit the same answers to score 21 points each time. You ARE free to discuss these in your individual team forums, just note it may not necessarily benefit you score-wise. Once all the scores are totted up, and deductions are made (-10 for each team member who fails to submit answers), the team with the most marks will receive 200 points for the Leaderboard. 2nd place = 100 points, 3rd place = 50 points, 4th place = a curry and a chance to nuke a third world country with Craig. Plus there shall also be 25 points for the team with the highest individual scorer! Whoop. QUESTIONS 1. Name a Manic Street Preachers single 2. Name a country that borders France 3. Name a UK sitcom which first aired in the 2000s 4. Name a member of the England 2010 World Cup Squad 5. Name a BuzzJack member under the age of 16 6. Name a former Conservative Prime Minister 7. Name an album which was nominted for the 2010 Mercury Music Prize (excluding the winner) 8. Name a UK tabloid newspaper 9. Name a current Formula 1 Team (2010 season) 10. Name a city in the Midlands Please PM the answers to myself. You have until 12:00 BST on Sunday 24th September to send your answers. Results will be up at some point between Sunday evening and Tuesday evening. YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR ANSWER TO ANY QUESTION

October 20, 201014 yr First, X-factor/$h!tty pop bands (which is the same almost all the time); now politics/sports/indie music biased. Can we have the golden middle? :( Questions about Ljósið. :heehee:
October 20, 201014 yr Author They were easier than pie. I've seen your answers. They clearly weren't.
October 20, 201014 yr I've seen your answers. They clearly weren't. RFC wins JamesP's laugh of the week award.
October 20, 201014 yr Author For one of the questions there have been 4 people sent in 4 seperate answers which are wrong....
October 20, 201014 yr The question I suggested has been included :w00t: i found this the easiest one yet. This is probably the hardest for me. Manic Street Preachers? Football? Formula 1? I had to google half of them :( Well, I had vague answers in mind for all apart from one, but I had to check they were correct
October 20, 201014 yr Author You can never make a set of questions that everyone will know at least one answer too. There's always going to be someone who has no interest in something. IIRC people Googled 2010 UK number one singles!
October 20, 201014 yr This is the hardest round yet for me :( Sports questions I cannot answer easily you see
October 21, 201014 yr I like trying to do this without Google, but there are 4 questions I don't have the foggiest idea about. :\ Good questions none the less, I like ones that make you think.
