Twenty quizzes! Almost ten months of them, wow. I think it's safe to say you've all covered yourselves in glory (as they say on the show :p). Keep it up!

*Introductory theme tune*

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.

INDEPENDENCE DAY scored 18, followed by ALI on 26, and I, ROBOT on 61. So there was nothing else you could do, James.

Joeyy | 07-10-2014 22:43

HEAD-TO-HEAD, PART 2

James, you need to win this next one to stay in the game. Your question concerns...

PARTS OF THE EAR

I'm going to give you five parts of the ear now – not literally, you'll be glad to know – but I've missed out alternate letters. Can you fill in the blanks to get the most obscure?

E_S_A_H_A_ / T_B_

S_I_R_P

C_C_L_A

E_R_R_M

U_R_C_L_S

Joeyy | 07-10-2014 22:43

Sierra answers first this time.

PinkFloyd | 07-10-2014 22:43

Really? Hmm. My order was not like that at all.

Joeyy | 07-10-2014 22:44

Well, you can see the robot in the I, ROBOT picture.

PinkFloyd | 07-10-2014 22:45

UGH I hate these kind, this might take a bit longer.

Joeyy | 07-10-2014 22:45

Haha, no rush.

PinkFloyd | 07-10-2014 22:47

Oh, nevermind, they're not scrambled. Cochlea.

TheAnnoyance | 07-10-2014 23:06

Hm. Well I may have learnt parts of the ear in school, but I ain't gonna win this one.

Eardrum

Joeyy | 07-10-2014 23:17

OK, let's see if COCHLEA is right and how far down the column it takes you.

Sixty-three! Sorry, James. Congratulations, Sierra! You're our 20th winner.

TheAnnoyance | 07-10-2014 23:21

Congrats Sierra

Juliet86 | 07-10-2014 23:23

Congrats!

Joeyy | 07-10-2014 23:28

Anyone know the others? There's a pointless answer up there.

PinkFloyd | 07-10-2014 23:29

Thanks guys. Good game James.

Juliet86 | 07-10-2014 23:30

Stirrup, but that won't be the pointless one.

Joeyy | 07-10-2014 23:33

Nope, 50 points for STIRRUP. EUSTACHIAN TUBE scored 6 and the pointless answer was UTRICULUS.

Juliet86 | 07-10-2014 23:35

Oh, funny, someone mentioned their Eustachian tube on Facebook yesterday but I didn't realise it was in the ear.

Joeyy | 07-10-2014 23:43

Optional "final", Sierra?

PinkFloyd | 07-10-2014 23:58

For sure.

Joeyy | 08-10-2014 00:22

Fantastic. I'm going to give you five categories to choose from now. We have got:

AMERICAN ROCK
CULT NOVELISTS
HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES
POETRY
WORLD GEOGRAPHY

Two of the categories only have one sub-category: HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES and WORLD GEOGRAPHY. The others have three each.

Which will it be?

Captain_Keeta | 08-10-2014 00:28

'Grats Sierra.

PinkFloyd | 08-10-2014 00:36

American Rock

zjenn4 | 08-10-2014 00:38

Wooo! Well done James & Sierra!!

Rock the final, Sierra!!

Joeyy | 08-10-2014 00:42

FINAL

You know the drill: I'm going to give you three options now and you can take your answers from any one of these. They can all come from one category; one from each; two from one and one from another, etc. It's completely up to you.

You have three guesses to get a pointless answer and all you need to "win" is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

So, we are looking for the name of any studio album released by...

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
FOO FIGHTERS
METALLICA

This is up to February 2014. I won't accept live albums or compilations; for Metallica, I won't accept Garage Inc, Through the Never, or Lulu.

Please specify which your three answers are for. Very best of luck!
