I'm really not feeling the "holiday spirit" from this thread.

I hate that this actually made me feel bad.

I'm slowly getting my head around the fact that the "correct" answer has absolutely nothing to do with anything!

Think what the correct answer might be, then think what everyone else might think the correct answer might be, then account for messers and subversives and a couple of genuine outliers - and then as far as I'm concerned, throw a dart at a selection of numbers with a blindfold on, hope you haven't killed the cat, and there's your answer.

Good morning elves, welcome to day 3 of the Forum Games Sheepish Advent Calendar!


Christmas TV today...


Q3: How many people watched The Late Late Toy Show over the weekend? (Live and on the rte player, worldwide)
PM me your answer before 7pm

Reminder, there is no "correct" answer, you're trying to land in the middle of everyone's answers. But still, no googling!

I'll reveal everyone's answers and scores this evening, probably about 8:30pm

Well, definitely not me!!!!

I know the actual answer to this but what will the thick’s on here think it is?

There’s bound to be someone who says 7 cause it’s the number of people in their house and someone else who says 4 billion

Trigger

Only catching up, I had 500 written down and then decided to change it noooo..

Anyways today is a new day!

If you want, I'll take the highest answer from everyone else and double it. Special service, just for you

This was reported during the week and I also know the answer but how many others do??

Purgative

I did make the mistake of asking my wife - who's watched it at least three times :eek:.


- Ooh its a lot
- how many?
- well its on RTE, RTE player, and then American channels ...
- my answer
- hummm not sure, just google it.
- thanks luv :pac:

What a lovely question.

khalessi

I asked the kids and here are some of the responses

everyone
Do elves or dogs count because I watched with both?
How do you know how many people are watching one tv?
Millions
6 in my family.
I don't watch it it's rubbish.
How could you not watch it?
I fell asleep for some, do I still count?


So after exhausting every answer, I guessed:D

How many kids do you have?
Or are you a teacher using your class to help with this quiz? :pac:

the purple tin

I like this type of quiz: you don't have to know any of the answers to win
Having good general knowledge is actually punished

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Answer just sent and I'm already thinking I made a terrible mistake.

HeidiHeidi

I had trouble deciding how many digits my answer should contain, never mind what said digits should be......

Mam of 4

I don't watch the toy show , my idea of hell, an evening with Ryan Tubridy, shudder .
Random middle of the road guess on the way !

Who's lap can you sit on if you're last to get your answer in?

Mine. But I've a dodgy knee so it's liable to collapse under you at any time. The unpredictability just adds to the excitement.
