I just realised that I haven't included our theme tune in the past couple of quizzes! *Introductory theme tune*

Now that that's sorted, let's play Pointless!

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. searching online for answers)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

* offtopic :
The records of previous winners and pointless answers can be found here.

ROUND #1

I know this isn't everyone's strongest subject, but we haven't had a first round of it for a while and I counted earlier: out of the twenty-one different first rounds I have at the moment, there's only one of this topic, so just give it your best shot if you're uncertain 'n' then you won't have to deal with it for a while.

Our category for Round #1 is...

LITERATURE

And the question concerns...

FICTIONAL SIBLINGS

I'm about to give you six surnames of famous families from literature. You have to give me any of the siblings (brothers or sisters) from any of those families. As always, the more obscure, the better.

Good luck! The six family names are...

BENNET
(PRIDE AND PREJUDICE)

DARLING
(PETER PAN)

KIRRIN
(THE FAMOUS FIVE)

MARCH
(LITTLE WOMEN)

PEVENSIE
(THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA)

WEASLEY
(HARRY POTTER)

(Half of the work is done; guess a name at random if you want to participate but don't know any!)

Cheater138 | 26-07-2014 18:10

Peter Pan is the only one of those that I know well, so...

John Darling

Juliet86 | 26-07-2014 18:11

Do we have to say which family we're answering for?

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:13

Yes, sorry. Got to put the surname after the first. There are some first rounds in which you don't have to specify, but not this one.

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:15

Don't forget about the woman who had to put a first name to a choice of three surnames (politicians being the category) and got a pointless answer with the complete guess of Nick Brown.

Juliet86 | 26-07-2014 18:18

I've read all of these except Peter Pan, but for most it has been years. I think there's a Dick Kirrin.

indiechick_ | 26-07-2014 18:19

mary bennet from pride & prejudice

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:20

I think I've read all but Peter Pan. When I was little and I watched the film, I thought they were just using "darling" as a pet name.

Juliet86 | 26-07-2014 18:20

(I guess his real name is probably Richard, but Dick should be acceptable?)

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:21

Yeah, Dick is acceptable. It's what he was known by.

PinkFloyd | 26-07-2014 18:33

Books for the first question?

Guess I'm sitting out this one.

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:34

Can't you just guess? It's fun in the show, especially when someone gets it right by guessing. :]

juicy1 | 26-07-2014 18:36

Edmund Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia

Cheater138 | 26-07-2014 18:37

Aren't there like 800 Weasleys? I'm sure you could guess one right, Sierra.

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:37

Haha, yes, there are quite a few.

PinkFloyd | 26-07-2014 18:39

Ok, Weasley Snipes - Harry Potter

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:40

Weasley is the surname.

PinkFloyd | 26-07-2014 18:41

I know. It was a joke, I can see it failed. Ron Weasley then.

juicy1 | 26-07-2014 18:42

I think her answer should get points based on creativity. That is officially my new name on steam.

Cheater138 | 26-07-2014 18:43

Hey, I "like"d it!

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:43

Oh, haha. Sorry, boo. I'm with you now - it's hard to pull myself from the literature world to the film one.

Snipes would definitely have been a good one.

TheAnnoyance | 26-07-2014 18:49

Well Sierra took the only answer I knew... lol.

Joeyy | 26-07-2014 18:53

Maybe I shouldn't have chosen this category.

CarlJ | 26-07-2014 18:54

weasley.....
percy

indiechick_ | 26-07-2014 18:55

maybe it'll encourage LSI to read more books
