Dedicated to our three recent birthday girls.

*Introductory theme tune*

Last week saw our pointless answers leader board shook up a bit. Jen is now only one behind B, Sierra's stacking them up, and Practice is shooting up there quite quickly for a newcomer. Jeremy also added his name to it.

So let's see what this week's quiz can produce...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.

Good job, Carl!

ROUND #1 RESULTS

For Ant's sake: We need two players for the Head-to-Head, but before then we have Round #2 (different subject). There are ten contestants* currently, meaning four players will be eliminated now (based on their high score) and four will leave us at the end of the second round. The four players leaving us now are...

Carl: 93 (LISBON)
Bruna: 85 (ATHENS)
Jeremy: 84 (WARSAW)
Lisa: 78 (BUCHAREST)

Practice: 75 (PRAGUE)
Kaleb: 49 (VIENNA)
Sarah: 45 (COPENHAGEN)
Sierra: 42 (HAVANA)
Anthony: 34 (MINSK)
Jen: 7 (CAIRO)

Just scraped by there, Practice.

Congratulations to you, Kaleb, Sarah, Sierra, Ant, and Jen, who go through to Round #2. Commiserations to the rest of you - I think it was a matter of being stuck with the worst of the lot.

* offtopic :
*One player was disqualified in private; we don't need to make a thing of it.

PinkFloyd | 26-01-2015 20:31

I wonder what Roma is.

Cheater138 | 26-01-2015 20:33

It's a type of tomato, Sierra. Duh.

Joeyy | 26-01-2015 20:33

Haha to all.

And (again) I think the ones left are

TARABULUS
KUNG THEP
ROMA

...should Ant or anyone else want to fill in the gaps (Ant, you can respond even if we've moved on to Round #2; we've gone off-topic plenty of times in other quizzes).

Joeyy | 26-01-2015 20:34

Ha, it does sound like "tarantulas". Probably not when pronounced properly.

zjenn4 | 26-01-2015 20:43

Tarabulus is Tripoli, right?

Juliet86 | 26-01-2015 20:52

I couldn't get past the fact that Tarabulus sounds like Latin. No country speaks Latin.

Captain_Keeta | 26-01-2015 20:53

#disqualified

Joeyy | 26-01-2015 20:54

Jen's got it. Best answer on the board, but only slightly better than Cairo. TRIPOLI scored 4 points.

Juliet86 | 26-01-2015 21:14

Jeff. Joey said we didn't need to make a thing. Do you want to make a thing? We can make a thing.

Joeyy | 26-01-2015 21:16

Let's not. No Europeans; Round #2 will be posted within the hour.

indiechick_ | 26-01-2015 21:35

Dammit. They all seemed so obvious

Joeyy | 26-01-2015 21:39

ROUND #2

Found a good one. I'll come back to the others later. Dublin scored 10. So, Ant, same format - go for the one you think the fewest amount of people would know. One answer only.

Your second category today is...

EDUCATION

And the question concerns...

FIELDS OF STUDY

I'm going to give you the names of twelve sciences, or fields of study; I just need you to tell me what each is the study of – the common name for what they're the study of. Best of luck! Could be a tough one.

CHROMATOLOGY
ANEMOLOGY
VEXILLOLOGY
CYTOLOGY
DERMATOLOGY
MYOLOGY
ICHTHYOLOGY
DENDROLOGY
NOMOLOGY
OENOLOGY
NEPHOLOGY
ANATOMY

JDolla | 26-01-2015 21:40

Please make a thing. I'll bring popcorn.

Cheater138 | 26-01-2015 22:13

I only know three, so:

CHROMATOLOGY: the study of colors

PinkFloyd | 26-01-2015 22:21

Again I can thank cartoons for this one. OENOLOGY - study of wine

Joeyy | 26-01-2015 22:21

This is the opposite to the first round in that most of the scores are very low.

fishmunky | 26-01-2015 22:45

kung thep was bangkok, roma was Rome

Ichthyology is the study of fish

Juliet86 | 26-01-2015 22:52

It was Bangkok? Damn, I should have gone for that.

Joeyy | 26-01-2015 22:53

Yep, and of course. BANGKOK would've been a great answer, only 12 points. ROME scored the same as LISBON - 93 points.

PracticePractic | 26-01-2015 22:55

Since we're having quite a weather challenge here in the States....

I'll take NEPHOLOGY the study of clouds (I took Meteorology once)

kalsonberry | 26-01-2015 22:56

Dermatology = skin

Joeyy | 27-01-2015 18:44

Just waiting on Jen and Sierra, I think.

Cheater138 | 27-01-2015 20:23

Sierra already answered, just below my post yesterday.
