*Introductory theme tune*

Yay, 40!

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.

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

It's a good job Ant beat you to it, B.

I think this is the first time you two have met in the Head-to-Head.

Crap, it did say M and not MA ('tis from a recent episode, so I was able to check). Sorry! Please do send me a private message in the future if you think I might've typed something wrong that could affect answers/scores.

HEAD-TO-HEAD, PART 1

Congrats, B and Lisa! Now we have the first-to-three round to determine this quiz's winner. Your first question concerns...

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA

I'm going to give you five names of the Chronicles of Narnia novels, but I'm just going to show you the number of letters in each word in the titles. Can you work out which of the novels I'm referring to here? Most obscure answer wins the point!

3, 4, 6

Let me fill in those Round #2 answers...

The highest scorer was the answer for NEW SEA LAND, which hopefully everyone guessed as NEW ZEALAND. I guess we can't judge you if not, because only 52 of the 100 got that one!

THE NETHERLANDS is the answer for the LOW LANDS. I guess if you think of the nether regions being low down on your body... That scored fairly big - 39 points.

ECUADOR was next (for EQUATOR). Sounds similar. Twenty-one for Ecuador.

CAPE VERDE is GREEN CAPE - fairly obvious when you think about it, at least if you remember "verde" to mean green, buuut maybe minds don't automatically go there, because only fourteen people got it.

COSTA RICA is RICH COAST. Another somewhat obvious one when you think about it, but another low scorer - ten for that.

NORWAY is THE NORTHERN WAY. Norway's shape is a bit like a giraffe without legs. Four points for Norway!

And SIERRA LEONE is LION MOUNTAINS. I wonder if our Sierra would've known that. Three points for Sierra Leone.

Aw, I was so close to saying The Horse and His Boy, but I changed my mind.

Sierra Leone. I didn't think of it, but makes sense when you see it.

I thought the longer title might be more difficult, and since it didn't come to my mind as quickly, maybe it wouldn't to the 100 people either.

Ah, it seems the shorter answers are often better than the longer ones, but people don't usually expect them to be. Also, 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' was made into a film, whereas 'The Horse and His Boy' hasn't been.

Juliet86 | 06-08-2015 05:06
Sometimes I think shorter will be better. For this one I thought it wouldn't be, for some reason.

Oh. I haven't seen the films, apart from the first one.

I can't figure out the 3, 4, 6.

That one is THE LAST BATTLE and was the lowest scorer, though only by a point (8).

PRINCE CASPIAN scored 24 and THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE scored 57 (lol).

I thought "The Northern Way" would be pretty obvious.

Just looked it up, looks like a 4th Narnia movie is planning to be released next year!
