Well, there are just TWO weeks left of the Gameshow General Election, Andrew Neil is preparing to grill the top three candidates for the host’s number one position over the next few days (he isn’t really). If you haven’t voted yet, then please remember to do it.
Can’t resist posting some more OC questions, seeing as all is quiet at the mo. Hope this isn’t the wrong time or place for them.
Mary I, James II, William IV, George VI
knight, aerial, oscilloscope, Scottish flag
Well, the second one is dead easy and could also include an upward-pointing arrow and a compass rose.
Oh I’ve got it.
Didn’t get it until those extra clues, ta.
I’m still baffled 🙁
Some tortoises mating.
A triple-coloured river.
A thistle.
Some of these clues are better than others.
Tortoises mating? That’s simply wonderful.
Standard description isn’t it?
This is a brilliant question by the way. COME ON DAVID!
*cries*
Haven’t you got it yet?
St Paul’s Cathedral
A ship pointing westward
A chevron
Think where David and I are from.
Some letters. That’s as good as it got for us. For a while it was an unconvincing raindrop turning into some funny letters, later on it was some letters with some silly stripes, but at the end of the day… just some letters.
Either this is the best question ever or it’s going to be a crushing disappointment. It’s certainly bizarre enough.
HOW HAVE YOU NOT GOT THIS YET?
*resigns*
I couldn’t work out which member of the set that referred to at first, but on further reflection I see what you did there.
Erm… a slightly colourful, slightly gibbous moon.
A 3d parallelogram turned slightly to the side with two lines running through it horizontally, conjoining in the middle.
A spinning star.
A sort of Venn diagram in black and white.
40 seconds have gone by now, surely.
The next clue is worth something like -75 points.
Also they’re playing Wipeout on A Question of Sport.
I’ll do the royal question then…
Is it Henry VII?
Well I can see that my second question’s proved hugely popular.
And I like all the additional clues suggested – especially the tortoises mating!
May as well throw in some more:
A cake
Four letters in a 2 x 2 arrangement
A lot of triangles on a flag
Hexagons and a leopard’s head
Can’t be many more left to offer.
As for the first question, there might be the odd bit of dispute as regards Mary I – better clues would be Henry I and John.
