So, I ask a question.

You answer.

Whoever I say got it right first can ask their own question (and you get a point). Everyone else drinks. If you get it wrong you lose two points, and drink twice.

Q1: What is the highest break possible in a game of Snooker?

Assuming the first player fouls the black then the maximum break including the foul is 154

155! Based on something I vaguely remember about being snookered and taking a colour as a red!

Yes!
If a player fouls but snookers his opponent from all the red balls, the opponent can pot any coloured ball as a red ball, then carry on as normal.
This means there are 16 'acting' red balls on the table rather than 15, so the maximum break is 147 + 1 (for the fake red) + 7 for a black - 155.

Your turn!

Oh yeah, and if you're caught Googling, you lose one million points.

Indiana Jones was in the last one, but I don't know how many there were before that.

No!

Although I should have come up with a question with more interesting answers than just random numbers. I suck.

My brain is telling me 3, for some reason.

Squirt · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 6607

It was a fair chunk more than three!

Nope! Nope! Nope!

I'm only counting real crusades, not those half-arsed ones in Poland or Spain.

This is possibly easy.. but still...

Q. Who played the school head master in E.T. and didn't make it to the final cut of the film?

Can you be a bit more specific, it isn't quite the answer I'm looking for.

It was an oak tree!

An oak tree in Worcester!

I win.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 26064

hehe - I was going to say oak but wasn't sure. That's odd, because I know nothing about history, but somehow when you said 'more specific' I knew you meant that, though I have no idea who King Charles II was, and as soon as I submitted it I wondered if I wasn't just thinking of an episode of King Rollo...

Anyway,

Il Capitano, Colombina and Pantalone are characters in which form of drama from days past?

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Aug 20, 2010 16:13

Commadia De Art, or something.

Comedies from Italy.
