gbacon85 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Are we allowed to say how well we have done? Because I smashed that Scorsese one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 22, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 I have decided that Carbomb is Rainman after his performance in States, State capitals and Presidents quiz. He scored 100% which is amazingly bonkers knowledge! Â Thanks for that, but the explanation is actually rather boring: I joined Sporcle a few years ago in order to train up for my shot on The Chase, and the separate quizzes on States, State Capitals and Presidents became my bread-and-butter, along with Countries and Capitals of the World, Flags, Prime Ministers of the UK and the Periodic Table.

Slapnut Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm fucked in this round. I know absolutely nothing about Formula 1 and not much more about The Simpsons. On the plus side, I know a fair bit about US States and capitals, and I'll do well on the Scorsese one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Monkee Posted June 22, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 I got 100% on the F1 drivers although one stumped me because I thought it was a particular driver when it wasn't. I'm sure it was wrong actually but I went through as many as I could think of and got it right eventually. Â I think I did OK on the US states/presidents/capital cities. I wasn't too hot on the capitals but I think I got about 40/50 states and a few of the presidents. Helps that I've been to The Hall of Presidents at Disney World quite a few times! Â The Simpsons one got me. I'm useless with that. I also had to do it twice because I pressed 'Give Up' the first time but my score didn't register and it said I hadn't played it so I had to do it again and let the timer run out instead. Â I don't know if it's even worth me doing the Dusty Rhodes one. I haven't got a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 22, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 22, 2015 I did not do well this week. Bloody Simpsons, thought the one I put was obvious. Not so much. And state capitals threw me... I could be in danger this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbacon85 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Glen, sure it flags up, but I (embarrassingly) did terribly at The Simpsons round, but had another go, and will probably have a few more gos, does this mess your averages and scoring up? Can tell you my attempt 1 score if you like? Surprised myself with the F1 round, thanks to my Grandad.

Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 For the Simpson quiz Id have put money on Comic Book Guy!!!! being correct. I had to google it because I couldn't believe it. His first appearance was very late on in season 2.  F1 from the 90s was great for me, I wouldn't have a clue post 2000.   I got all the US States, it something that pops up on Sporcle a lot. The Presidents and Capitals I struggled with, although a couple of names are also capitals of States which scored me double. After that it was just a case of playing Lillian Garcia intros in my head over and over again, most were wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted June 22, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 It was a good week for me, Stepdad is a huge F1 fan (we don't have Sky Sports yet we have Sky Sports F1) so that stuff was all fairly easy for me. The Simpsons one scared the crap out of me, had to work it around episodes I knew and put groups into clusters. Could have done better. The US one I got quite lucky with. My friends challenge me to do this kinda stuff all the time, so really it was spellings and such that I had to work around. Alas, I hate Martin Scorcese (I don't but that was not a good round) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Something's gone wrong with mine. I've just been on Sporcle now and done the President/States/Capitals one. Then I've gone on view results and the other quizzes have already been completed. Fuck knows what's gone off - I've been at work all day and haven't had access to a computer or anything. It's already showing me scores for quizzes I haven't done. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could anyone have accessed it and be a twat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbacon85 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 gbacon the first score you register will be the score that I receive. Cool, still really really pissed at myself for it. It's one of my specialist subjects FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members martyngnr Posted June 22, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2015   I can only apologise that you find me on top of the tree, I thought I posted an achievable score but had no idea the vast majority of UKFF’ers have Vexiphobia. Without the flags I would have finished 5th and martyngnr would have stormed it with a score of 98.5% . In order to make sure I don’t see myself at the top of the table next week I have purposely picked some categories that I am not comfortable with. Monkee, Murtz and Carbomb will be happy with some of the quizzes this week as one of their specialist subjects has been chosen.   Delighted with last weeks performance - apart from the flags. I sat there after about three minutes totally lost and staring blankly at the screen. Who would have thought sitting on the sofa watching Rugby, Sitcoms, WWF and listening to Queen would ever pay off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimo the great Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Mid-table as usual, never great, never shit  I haven't checked out the quizzes yet but hearing Simpsons & Scorsese i'm hopeful of not doing too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Boycie Posted June 22, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 Did quite well on the Scorsese quiz. Hopefully it will go some way towards making up for my abysmal performance last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
