*Introductory theme tune*

Happy almost Christmas! (That's the closest we have to something related - Rudolph's red nose...a white, dead Rudolph.) Round #1 can be my Christmas present to our American players.

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.

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

Lisa: 23 (SEATTLE, WASHINGTON)
Practice: 16 (NEW ORLEANS)
Sierra: 6 (HONOLULU, HAWAII)


Bruna: 1 (BALTIMORE, MARYLAND)

Carl: 0 POINTLESS!! (MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE)
Jen: 0 POINTLESS!! (SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA)

Sorry, Jeremy, apparently Wichita is the largest city by population in Kansas. A particular big commiserations to Sierra; 6 being a great score in a very low-scoring round. But congratulations to those who made it through to Round #2, and particularly well done to the three who found pointless answers!

There were six other pointless answers if anyone had a guess they didn't go for?

Maybe... Boston, Massachusetts? No, that might be one the Brits know. 'Cause of the tea party . I can't think of any obscure-ish ones. Atlanta, Georgia?

Will do. Actually just going to message you with the possible second round since you're out - need you to tell me if Americans would be able to answer.

ROUND TWO

Jeremy's assured me you should be OK with these. So, our category for Round #2 is...

SCALES OF MEASUREMENT

Simply, what do these measure? Give me the most obscure and you'll go through to the Head-to-Head. Good luck!

JOULE
YARD
CELSIUS
MOHS
TROY OUNCE
BEAUFORT SCALE
DECIBEL
CURIE
AMPERE
KNOT

Woo! Go cheeseheads!


Pretty sure this one is gonna be no good, but Ampere measures electrical current.

Yes, another question that I actually know!

Mohs measures the hardness of a mineral by its resistance to scratching.

And they said that getting rid of my Earth Science Reference Table was a good idea.

Uhm...
I haven't heard of some of those. Or maybe I have and I don't know the proper name.

Joule - measures the energy required to do an action/work (when applying force)?
