Well here goes.... TERM COMMONLY GIVEN TO AN ANGLE OF LESS THAN 90 DEGREES
acute angle
(hmmmm so its not the ugly angle... its "a" cute angle---I really should not do this when tired--I think of all weird things with the words!)
Your turn Sierra!

Re post #76 above "...is great at mathematics..." correction.
Joeyy | 29-08-2015 19:09
She has a degree in it, so hopefully she's fairly good. 
I was half-joking, though; I don't think she's even around.
An ACUTE angle - is that right? Does it score low?

Fifty-five! Well, it might not be a bad score for the round.

DENOMINATOR, says Sierra. Can it beat fifty-five? If it does, she takes the title of this quiz's winner.

Well done Practice, and everyone else. Acute was going to be my guess had you not gone first, so hope you don't feel bad. 
Joeyy | 29-08-2015 20:27
There's a pointless answer up there... ALAN TURING was the British mathematician.
The value of the Roman numerals XL is 40, which was said by 22 people.
And the positive square root of 169 is 13. Forty-one people knew that one.

Any time for a quick pop...at the "final", Sierra?
PracticePractic | 29-08-2015 20:38
Thank you for that information Sierra... makes me feel better. Congratulations to you! and Good Luck on the Final!!
PinkFloyd | 29-08-2015 21:23
Yep, I'm up for it.
Joeyy | 30-08-2015 03:41
Awesome, sorry for the gap. Here are your five categories to choose from:
ANCIENT ROME
CHEMISTRY & PHYSICS
DEBUT SOLO ALBUMS
ROM-COM FILMS
WORDS
Apart from WORDS, they all have three sub-categories. Which will it be?

Joeyy | 30-08-2015 03:43
Jumping back for a moment, I'll add that 1 of the 100 thought the XL in Roman numerals stood for "extra large" (as in the clothes size). 
Juliet86 | 31-08-2015 05:59
I would have got that wrong. And I didn't know Alan Turing. I know of him, but not that bit of information. I guess my maths degree has failed me .
Congrats, Sierra!
.Congrats, Sierra!
PinkFloyd | 31-08-2015 21:12
As much as I hate romantic comedies, I think that's going to be my best shot. So let's go with that one. Also, sorry for the wait.
Joeyy | 31-08-2015 21:21
"Final"
No problem. I didn't realise (or forgot) you didn't like Rom-Coms, sorry! I thought you might've had a shot at a few of those, but here we go.
I'm looking for any actor/actress who has received a credit in any of the following three films (according to IMDb)...
FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL
VALENTINE'S DAY (2010)
BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY
As always, please give three answers (stating which they're for) and aim for the obscure. Best of luck!

I've only seen Valentine's Day, haha. So I'll say, Kristin Schall, closer to pointless, Queen Latifah, and Emma Roberts, further from.
Joeyy | 31-08-2015 22:37
OK, then I'll take your least likely to be pointless answer first - was EMMA ROBERTS in Valentine's Day and was she a pointless answer?

KRISTEN SCHAAL was (perhaps surprisingly) not pointless. A few others you could've had were BRADLEY COOPER, KATHY BATES, and SHIRLEY MACLAINE. Big names! But that's what happens when there are so many in a film.
PracticePractic | 01-09-2015 16:42
Congratulations Sierra!!!
And don't ever sell yourself short. I've seen you done better here with worse, so you really did know your "ROM-COM" 's even if you didn't think so...
More confidence Sierra and you'll go far...
Congrats again! You are a good opponent to have in the times I've been against you!

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.
