*Introductory theme tune*

Kwazy with a w. A backwards w.

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.

Practice: 26 (ALAN ALDA)
Jeff: 24 (DAVID SCHWIMMER)
Lisa: 18 (RHEA PERLMAN)

Kaleb: 16 (LISA KUDROW)
Anthony: 0 POINTLESS!!

(RUE MCCLANAHAN)
Bruna: 0 POINTLESS!!

(SEAN HAYES)
Joe: 0 POINTLESS!!

(JAMIE FARR)
Sarah: 0 POINTLESS!!

(JAMES MICHAEL TYLER)

Four pointless answers! Fantastic. Commiserations Practice, Jeff, Lisa - thanks for playing.

Joeyy | 06-04-2015 20:53

Woo, barely made it! Did I get the lowest scoring main Friends character? And what did Eric McCormack and Debra Messing score?

You did indeed. The others would've seen you knocked out, so good job! JENNIFER ANISTON was the highest scorer from 'Friends', with 47 points - much more than any of the others.

ERIC MCCORMACK was pointless and DEBRA MESSING scored 4 points. How come you didn't go for one of them?

Captain_Keeta | 06-04-2015 21:46

Ah bollocks. Damn you Schwimmer.

Joeyy | 06-04-2015 22:34

ROUND #2

Your category for Round #2 is...

ART

I thought we'd had a main round art question before, but I can't find one in my 'Used Questions' document, so either I'm wrong or one's slipped through the cracks (someone let me know if they remember it). Anyway, the question concerns...

FAMOUS ARTISTS AND THEIR FIRST NAMES

I'm going to show you the surnames now of famous artists past and present. Can you give me the most obscure first name(s)?

GORMLEY
(1950 – )

DEGAS
(1834-1917)

CONSTABLE
(1776-1837)

GAINSBOROUGH
(1727-1788)

PROUVOST
(1978 – )

POLLOCK
(1912-1956)

MONET
(1840-1926)

SISLEY
(1839-1899)

MUNCH
(1863-1944)

MAGRITTE
(1898-1967)

KAHLO
(1907-1954)

CEZANNE
(1839-1906)

Cheater138 | 06-04-2015 23:05

Yay Gunther!

Bea Arthur was pointless!? That's surprising.

Joeyy | 06-04-2015 23:09

I thought so, too.

Cheater138 | 06-04-2015 23:32

POLLOCK (1912-1956) - Jackson

Joeyy | 06-04-2015 23:39

So you don't remember a previous art round, Sarah?

Cheater138 | 06-04-2015 23:55

I remember a few previous art rounds, but not the results. Did I pick a bad one?

(Also, I do recall one up there that we said in the past was a good "go to" but I forgot his first name.

)

Joeyy | 07-04-2015 00:41

Oh, sorry, that's not what I meant. I mentioned in the post that I seemed to remember us having a round one or two question about art in the past, but that there isn't one in my 'Used Questions' document, so I'm guessing I must've imagined it, but it could also be that I forgot to put the question in there.

fishmunky | 07-04-2015 03:23

SISLEY (1839-1899) - Alfred

CarlJ | 07-04-2015 11:37

ahhh, missed this by a day or so.....catch the next one..good luck everyone

kalsonberry | 07-04-2015 15:50

Ah, since they're the two main actors of the show I thought they'd score higher.

Edvard Munch is my answer.

indiechick_ | 07-04-2015 21:22

MAGRITTE (1898-1967) - René

CaptainStabbin | 08-04-2015 18:28

GAINSBOROUGH (1727-1788) - Thomas

Joeyy | 08-04-2015 20:20

ROUND #2 RESULTS

We have a tie! The two of you definitely leaving us are...

Sarah: 38 (JACKSON POLLOCK)
Kaleb: 17 (EDVARD MUNCH)

Joe: 13 (THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH)
Bruna: 13 (RENE MAGRITE)

Anthony: 2 (ALFRED SISLEY)

I'm sure you won't be forgetting Thomas again, Sarah.

Thanks to you and Kaleb for playing, and congrats to Ant on making it through to his first Head-to-Head!

Joeyy | 08-04-2015 20:21

B and Joe, I'm going to need you to answer again.

CaptainStabbin | 08-04-2015 20:58

DEGAS (1834-1917) - Edgar

indiechick_ | 08-04-2015 21:00

Edgar Degas

Lets stick with the frenchies

indiechick_ | 08-04-2015 21:01

Dammit Joe. Haha

Ok... Paul Cezanne then.

Joeyy | 08-04-2015 21:07

Ooo, haha. Tie results:

Bruna: 20 (PAUL CEZANNE)
Joe: 6 (EDGAR DEGAS)

That's pretty rough, B.

But well done, Joe, you join Ant in the Head-to-Head.

indiechick_ | 08-04-2015 21:17

Aw. How did Frida score?

Joeyy | 08-04-2015 21:21

She (FRIDA KAHLO) scored 12, so would've seen you through initially but not here. She's usually a good answer to give.

indiechick_ | 08-04-2015 21:24

Ah. I stayed away thinking it was too obvious.
