50th quiz! I wanted the Carlton dance, but couldn't find a good quality short version. Snoopy Dance will do.

Thank you to all regular (and occasional

) participants who have contributed over the past couple of years. Win this quiz, get a prize!

*Introductory theme tune*

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.

*holds breath in anticipation*

Captain_Keeta | 23-05-2016 20:02

That. ^

Juliet86 | 23-05-2016 20:03

*asphyxiates*

Captain_Keeta | 23-05-2016 20:03

Noooo. Rip.

*comes back to haunt*

Joeyy | 23-05-2016 20:07

Sorry, lol. It was a recent round and I was in a hurry, so I took pictures rather than writing everything down. So I'm staring at my phone here

Captain_Keeta | 23-05-2016 20:12

Lisa is a spooky ghost. :p

ROUND #1 RESULTS

Eleven players; four of you leaving this round and five in the next. A few surprising results here, I thought!

Jeremy: 76 (DRAUGHT / DRAFT)
Practice: 64 (FREEZE / FRIEZE)
Meg: 60 (STATIONARY / STATIONERY)
Lisa: 52 (CANVAS / CANVASS)

Celine: 35 (FAWN / FAUN)
Sarah: 34 (ASSENT / ASCENT)
Joe: 25 (HOARD / HORDE)
Carl: 19 (DISCREET / DISCRETE)
Jen: 15 (PRINCIPAL / PRINCIPLE)
Kaleb: 14 (COARSE / COURSE)
Jeff: 8 (POUR / PORE)

I thought Jeff's was going to be the highest-scoring.

Shows what I know after years of watching.

Commiserations to Jeremy (sorry to kick you while you're down

), Practice, Meg, and Lisa! And congrats to Celine, Sarah, Joe, Carl, Jen, Kaleb, and Jeff! Great score there, Jeff.

Olivia_Ka | 23-05-2016 20:15

Wow.

I did not think I could pass the second round.

Captain_Keeta | 23-05-2016 20:15

Aw finally I get to the next round!!!

Joeyy | 23-05-2016 20:15

You did it, Celine! Well, you're in the second round now.

Good job.

Joeyy | 23-05-2016 20:16

Hahaha, it's been a while, Jeff.

Olivia_Ka | 23-05-2016 20:16

What was the score for Breach/Breech? This one :
TO MAKE A GAP IN AND BREAK THROUGH / THE BACK PART OF A GUN BARREL (B)

Captain_Keeta | 23-05-2016 20:17

Yes it has! Too long. :p

Juliet86 | 23-05-2016 20:19

Aw. This was a tough one. Congrats to everyone who are through!

Juliet86 | 23-05-2016 20:22

(I didn't mean to complain about slowness. Just having a bit of fun while waiting.)

Joeyy | 23-05-2016 20:23

I know, sugar.

Joeyy | 23-05-2016 20:27

So the scores for the unanswered clues...

For TABLE IN A CHURCH / TO CHANGE (A), the answers were ALTAR and ALTER. Highest scoring answers on the board - 77 people said those. You did well to avoid them.

For BRANCH OF A TREE / THE FRONT END OF A SHIP (B), the answers were BOUGH and BOW; they also scored high, on 63 points.

And for TO MAKE A GAP IN AND BREAK THROUGH / THE BACK PART OF A GUN BARREL (B), the answers were BREACH and BREECH, and they scored 10 points (go on, then, what do you call it in the US?

)

So, Jeff, yours was actually the best on the board!

Olivia_Ka | 23-05-2016 20:29

Ah, I only knew "Bow and arrow".

Captain_Keeta | 23-05-2016 20:30

Woohoo!
