*Introductory theme tune*

My brain hurts.

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.

HEAD-TO-HEAD, DECIDER

Sarah's up first again. Here comes the deciding question. It concerns...

We had a terrible team empowerment thing after hours last night. Waste of 2 hours. But went out for some drinks after, so the night wasn't a total bust.

Fourty-four! Well, not bad; you as an American who's never been here recognise a landmark that over half of the Brits don't.

I read this year that they're going to replace the diplodocus in the entrance hall of the NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM with the skeleton of a blue whale. People were not impressed.

Anyway, can the museum beat 44?

It can! Only six points, that's pretty bad. But it means Bruna is this quiz's winner - good job, B, and good game both of you.

Congratulations Bruna!
and a blue whale? I guess the diplodocus dinosaur really became a "dinosaur" (definition 3 of the word)!

OK, categories to choose from today:

20th CENTURY THEATRE
CONTEMPORARY COMIC ACTORS
POST-WAR LITERATURE PRIZES
SPANISH SPORT
THE BEATLES

They all have three sub-categories. "Theatre" in this case refers to plays, musicals, etc. rather than film. Which will it be?
indiechick_

indiechick_ | 24-05-2015 17:30
Most of them yea. I'll take Spanish sport, since it's the on I'm most likely to do well

Joeyy | 24-05-2015 17:44
"Final"

OK, Spanish Sport. I am looking for any...

1997 EUROPEAN RYDER CUP TEAM
Any member of the 1997 European Ryder Cup team, played at Valderrama, that Seve Ballesteros was captain of.

SPANISH LEAGUE WINNING MANAGERS
Any manager who has won La Liga from the 1983/84 season all the way through to 2013 (whoever was in charge at the end of the season).

WINNERS OF THE SPANISH FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX
Any winners of the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix from 1954 up to 2013.

okay, this category is harder than I anticipated. luckly there is soccer in there so I'll stick with what i know. barcelona & real madrid generally win La Liga, so I'll just name a few of their managers from the recent past and hope for the best.

from least to most likely to be pointless:

Vicente del Bosque
Louis van Gaal
Fabio Capello

Yeah, it's quite a tough one, but at least you get the different topics. Let's see if you can do it. VICENTE DEL BOSQUE - pointless answer?

He is! Well-known (especially to us Mancunians now ), but I guess people didn't remember him in the time limit. Congrats again! (And sorry I took so long)

Fabio Capello not pointless, so it was lucky you put van Gaal in there.
