*Introductory theme tune*

Ew, seventeen, what an ugly number. Still, this quiz is dedicated to anyone who voted for this as the Best New Game in the recent Awards. There are plenty of great games on the forum, both old and new, and I'm really glad you enjoy this one.

So, without further ado, 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.

HEAD-TO-HEAD, PART 1

So sorry not to have been here today; I haven't been well. I might email Lisa the questions and answers in case I'm not around again tomorrow.

Anyway, congratulations again to Jen and B, who now face each other in our Head-to-Head! Your first category in this best-of-three round is...

FAMOUS SCIENTISTS

Yippee. Just a simple picture round - five images of famous scientists, can you name the most obscure? Best of luck to you both.

Aw man. I can't decide if going with a famous older scientist is better than going with a newer famous one. E is one of my current favorites, but I feel like he's probably pretty well-known right now. C is the only one I am not sure about, which probably means it's the best answer. Bruna, you wanna go first?

i honestly don't recognize E, so that might be a good guess too.. when you said popular i was expecting Tyson or Hawking

i know C, though! that's schrödinger. just missing his cat.

The cat! Okay, now I know who that is. I just needed you to come along, B!

Okay, I am going to go with E, which is Brian Cox.

Great! OK, we have the beautifully named ERWIN SCHRODINGER versus my homeboy BRIAN COX. Let's see if C is indeed SCHRODINGER and how far down he'll take us.

Well, that's pretty far down. Maybe no one knew BRIAN COX either...? Let's find out.

Forty-three people knew that E is BRIAN COX, a physicist and a professor at Manchester University. That means that, Jen, you'll need to win the next question to stay in the game.

HEAD-TO-HEAD, PART 2

All right, good luck again! Jen goes first this time. Your second question concerns...

SUPERMAN

You'll see five clues in a moment to facts about the fictional 'Superman', can you give the most obscure answer?

DC COMICS PUBLICATION IN WHICH HE FIRST APPEARED
HIS REAL BIRTH NAME
NAME OF THE NEWSPAPER FOR WHICH HIS ALTER EGO WORKED
GREEN SUBSTANCE TO WHICH HE IS MOST VULNERABLE
ENEMY PLAYED ON FILM BY GENE HACKMAN AND KEVIN SPACEY

Just as well I'm not in this round, I saw the episode with that question in recently, and I remember the lowest scoring answer.

I think this is Bruna's game to win. I don't know enough about Superman, lol. I feel that the top two are probably the lowest scoring, and I don't know either of them.

NAME OF THE NEWSPAPER FOR WHICH HIS ALTER EGO WORKED = Daily Planet

Haha. I don't normally watch the show anymore, but I saw that one when my dad was watching it. I would of asked Jo to change it, had I made this round. Honest.

If it's any consolation, Jen, I think his "real name" is probably easier than the newspaper he works at.
