Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[davis_greatest]

twice as good as DGE, 2 out of 8. (hate to sound like a maths teacher but i do need to see your workings out though.)

I think you should tell us, chasmmi, which are the correct ones?

(I'd guess maybe Greene and Roe.)

McVities must surely be McManus? Because McVities make biscuits, which go in the mouth and then out the anus? Oooh, naughty - who said that?

[davis_greatest]

Chasmmi, I'll try yours:
Robert Louis Stevenson vs King Arthur Ronnie vs. M. King

Salad vs Bryan Adams Greene vs. N. Stevenson

Penicillin vs Denzil Washington S. Hendry vs. R. Mc Leod

Mcvities vs Caviar S. Davis vs. D. Roe

I hear on the grapevine that there's a lot of money going to the bookies on N. Stevenson to win the 2007 World Championship. Everyone's talking about him.

You got all the letters wrong sadly DGE, because it's not meant to be you.

----

This is nothing to do with nothing..but it is my 300th post

----

I feel that I am going green

Any more guesses?

[davis_greatest]

LOL chasmmi I suppose so!

[chasmmi]

That's about one more than I expected.

I think, though, that once the next shot has been played and points awarded, the referee can't go back and call a foul on the previous shot?

but this wasnt the referee awarding the point.

THis was more akin to some drunk in the audience incoherently shouting that a point had been scored irrespective of the fact that the green, blue pink and black had all been sunk on the same shot and before the ref had a chance to restore order the idiot player has carried on with his break as if the previous shot was actually valid.

Good thinking DGE, but saadly no correct answers from anybody yet.

Which letter did I get wrong?

its so exciting we have two live questions.

Points up for grabs for everyone.

(Well except me as cryptic crossword style things bug me.)

anyhow I shall guess that the answer is that snooker is a fiendish sport and gauntlet is a fun computer game so therefore it is code for...

Snooker fun

and I'll go for snookersfun for the same reason.

[davis_greatest]

i'm afraid to say it's a grand total of one out of eight correct.

remember also this is the 2007 world championships here.

sorry DGE

ROUND SEVENTY:

Another cryptic one.

Decipher this, and you wull have the name of a BOARD MEMBER. Like the question before, there are two stages to get to the answer, no one.

'Fiendish Gauntlet'

The point will be awarded for the person who correctly identifies the board member AND provides a reason.

Obli, I plump 'elvaago'- aa glove (fiendish because of the two a's?)

I also though about
mark curnow before- wunck armor (but there is no wunck, is there?- so cruel again)

[snookersfun]

lmao - that made my day....you are mad, genius and madness, so close together...
and Obli bought it, lol Now I am just waiting to see, if you convinced him, that you answered his question right.

Mark King v Shaun Murphy

(R L Stephenson wrote The Wrong Box, and Mark King was wrong to think he would win a boxing contest against Quinten Hann; King Arthur and his knights sat at the Round Table, and Murphy's face is known for being exceptionally round)


Jimmy White v Marco Fu

(Salad is green, often confused with other colours, such as white; Bryan Adams was best known for his hit single, Everything I do, I do it Fu)


Alex Higgins v Alain Robidoux

(The antibiotic properties of penicillin were discovered by Alexander Fleming, bound to be confused with Alex Fleming or Alex Higgins; Washington DC is the capital of the U.S., which is basically the same as Canada as far as anyone else is concerned, from where Robidoux comes)


James Wattana vs David Roe

(Mcvities make Jaffa cakes, often colloquially called Jameswataffa cakes; caviar>fish eggs> roe - by now Vine is barely confused at all)
