Can anyone beat 4?
I have an 8 and I'm sure there must be plenty of 5s and 6s

case, care, base, card, bare, acre, bard, capeYou play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

But as you have no proof, how about:- 2253 Able, Cake, Bake, Bald, Bale, CalfYou play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket.

As you have no proof, that is a good answer!Originally Posted by Mitsuko
No, I was pretty sure you hadn't seen it. I think the 8 will win the point!Comment

Congratulations Mitsuko! THe most I had found was the 8 that you cited.
Anyhow, here is the table after Round 12:

6 . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . snookersfun
(We will assume the same principles as in the snooker quiz, whereby you go straight to the top of your new points total to avoid tied positions.)
ROUND FOURTEEN
I would like you to come up with FOUR verbs that rhyme. They must be one-syllable words and rhyme properly in both pronunciation and spelling; for example, win, sin, thin.
These verbs, in the past tense, must not rhyme with each other – i.e. no two of them must rhyme.
So in the above example – win, sin, thin – won does not rhyme but sinned and thinned do; so this is not a valid answer.
You should use the past tense in the "I ....ed" formation, not "I have ....ed" (e.g. the relevant past tense of go would be went, not gone; swim would be swam, not swum, etc.).Comment

Round fifteen.
I am going to pose a series of statements to prove that every number is four. This, however, is still a word game.
Four = four
Twenty = six = three = five = four
Seventy = Seven = five = four
Thousand = eight = five = four
The first person to explain how this works gets the point.
Game on!
