*Introductory theme tune*

To the eclipse (what eclipses remind me of - one of my all time favourite ads).

Edit: Also to Sarah, whose birthday it is today (Sunday).

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. looking up answers; asking others)

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.

UGH! It took me half an hour to identify frog, and then once I remembered there was a frog, it took me nearly an hour to get Michigan. Stupid dang frog! I am hoping that since this one took me so long to get, it was difficult for others too.

JOG IF CHARMING - Michigan J Frog

Well, I always think it's a good idea to take your time if you need it to work them out; could be the difference between winning and losing. Let's find out. Joe's said TASMANIAN DEVIL. Sounds like a good answer to me. How far down does it take us?

Two's the score to beat. Can he do it?

Yes, he can! That's a pointless answer! It also means Jen wins our thirty-second quiz; great job. Well done to Joe for the closely fought battle, too.

You gave us the two best answers on the board there. ELMER FUDD (FUR MEDDLE) was next with 16 points; ROADRUNNER (NUDER OR RAN) scored 25 points; and of course BUGS BUNNY (SNUBBY GUN) was the highest-scorer on 55 points.

Well, guess that hour and a half spent on a frog paid off.

Great. Here are your five categories to choose from

ACADEMY AWARD STATISTICS
POP SUPERSTARS
POST-WAR LITERATURE PRIZES
SPORTING FINALS
STATE VISITS

POP SUPERSTARS and STATE VISITS both have just one question; the others have three. Which will it be?

"Final"

Okie doke, you might have a good shot here, even if it is in the dark. I gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

NON-COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES VISITED BY QUEEN ELIZABETH II

...as they could. Any country of the world not a current member of the Commonwealth that Queen Elizabeth II has visited on an official state visit up to May 2012, according to the official website of the British monarchy. As always, by country, I mean a sovereign state which is a member of the UN in its own right.

Please give three answers, as always in this round, and we'll cross our fingers for at least one of them to be pointless. Very best of luck.

lol, gees, I don't even know what to do here, just name random places I hope the Queen has visited? I feel like I read somewhere that she has traveled a lot, so I'll just pick places from all over and hope she went there.

Here we go...I think the Queen has visited:

Mexico
Iceland
Estonia


I don't think any of them are pointless.

Joeyy | 28-03-2015 20:00
That seems like the thing to do. I'll take them in that order. MEXICO is your first answer. Is that right? Is it pointless?

lol, well, then. Guess the I have no idea I'll make some random guesses method worked this time around! None of the contestants guessed any of those countries? There are so many!

Congrats, Jen!

Well, there are also many countries that aren't on that list. There's only one team left by then, so only three guesses.

Yeah, there's only one team of contestants left by the final round - the pair ('cause contestants are in pairs) that beat off* the others to get to the final and play for the jackpot.

The contestants said ITALY, which scored 6; REPUBLIC OF IRELAND, which scored 9 and was a ridiculous answer to give considering it was a recent visit (can't believe it only scored 9); and (I blame you entirely) SOUTH AFRICA, which was an incorrect answer.

*Shh.

And....

Whew! Jen! Thanks for taking out of the game play the category "STATE VISITS" I was sorely tempted to take it, but I could only imagine choices like What country had their head of state visits most often to the UK? or visa versa, what country did Queen Elizabeth visit the most? or even worse (I could only guess) What countries heads of state never visited any of the UK? Thinking too much about that one that I could know something about it but I didn't want to take the plunge--unlike Bruna and her Dinosaurs etc....
