Here are the answers to the questions I posted yesterday, which were taken from the 2010 Ballyhaunis Inter-Pubs quiz.
Since I now know it exists, I have a fiendish plan to gather together as many readers of this blog as I can and pack them into a Ballyhaunis pub on the relevant night next year. How can we lose?
Well, we’ll possibly have to score 100/100, but other than that…
Questions (main list):
- In the song ‘My Darling Clementine’, how does Clementine die? A> Drowned. (And, apparently, it should be called ‘Oh My Darling, Clementine‘. So there!)
- Which book of the Bible has the shortest title? A> Job
- What is the most westerly county in the United Kingdom? A> Fermanagh (Annoyed at this one. We said Derry.)
- By the end of the song ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’, how many gifts has the song-writer received? A> 364
- The fictional character Oliver Mellors is better known by what title? A> Lady Chatterley’s Lover
- The year 1961 reads the same upside-down. This will not happen again until what year? A> 6009 (Very annoyed with ourselves here. We wrote down 6119. Doh!)
- Who played Mindy in the TV series ‘Mork and Mindy’? A> Pam Dawber
- Larry Mullen has played the drums in two famous bands. U2 are one of them, what is the other? A> The Artane Boys Band
- Name the character played by Jack Lord in ‘Hawaii Five-O’. A> Steve McGarrett
- Riddle: What is better than God, worse than the Devil, the poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it, you die? A> “Nothing”
- Which Cork senior footballer holds the record for the most number of inter-county appearances for that county? A> Graham Canty
- Name the third son of Adam and Eve. A> Seth
Picture round:
- Paddy O’Gorman
- Enda Kenny TD
- Alex Higgins
- Susan Boyle
- Mary Wallace TD
- Mary Harney TD
- Mary Hanafin TD
- Mary Coughlan TD
- Bill Clinton
- Monica Lewinsky
And finally, the extra special, super-duper bonus questions:
- ‘Daily Wine Deals’ in an anagram of which actor’s name? A> Daniel Day-Lewis
- In 1976 ‘Bohemian Rhapsody‘ was knocked off the British No. 1 spot by a song whose title featured in the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ itself. Name the second song. A> ‘Mamma Mia‘ by ABBA
- If James is five, Gordon is four, Henry is three and Edward is two – who is number one? A> Thomas (the Tank Engine)
- February is the shortest month of the year, clearly, but what is the longest? A> October (due to the clocks “going back“)
Hope you did well there.
The campaign for victory in 2011 starts here!
