The Forum Games Sheepish Advent Calendar 2020!

Hoping for a slightly higher median, wow I thought I went young but was still out by a few years

Electric Nitwit

I'm actually watching The Snowman now

Reveal in about 5 mins, just need to hack the spreadsheet to negate a saboteur

Declan A Walsh

I underestimated his age by two years. Incidentally, I was wrong by one year for the year of the film. Will the latter matter and what will the median be anyway?

HeidiHeidi

I got his age at the time of recording about right - but thought both Aled and the film were older than they actually are, which fed in to my rudimentary calculations (give me lat/long and degrees/minutes any day!).


So, meh.

I'm guessing some people said the year from the comments so median could be fecking anything

I just thought of Aled Jones in the main, and what year it approximately came in!

Mollyb60

Wasnt too far off. I thought he was 10 in 85 so 13 in 82 isnt that far out. Now for the median though....

Oh dear. ...

I'd no idea on age just knew film was early 80s and thought around 60ish. Beats the height of a Xmas tree anyway

Yes. Mind you if we happen to meet I think he'd be quite flattered by my answer

Mam did you say he was 150

Electric Nitwit

OK, so the median was a nice round 50, with a massive 18 people getting full marks

The standard deviation ignores Ted, meaning every year off costs about 0.5pts...

I think Spook_ie misread the question, and a good few thought he must have been older

At least your answer is complimentary towards him .
He'd be insulted by mine
(I didn't read the question properly)

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I would like to thank Brookside for helping me realise when Channel 4 began... If I didn't have a gut feeling it was somehow related to Channel 4, I would've thought The Snowman came out in the middle of WWII...

Necro

Oh dear Ted....

Necro wrote: »

Well , not quite , but a shocking number :pac:

Tauriel

Well at least 0.6 is better than the minus score I would of got if I stuck to 9.

What happened there?

Electric Nitwit

Full marks mean Green&Red wins, scoring an average of 8.75pts a day! Congrats GnR

Duffman gambled today, probably the right move but it didn't pay off

At the other end, Declan takes the spoon!

Thanks for playing everyone, hope you (mostly) enjoyed it

I did but I had no idea when the thing came out - its the sort of record that makes me listen to Newstalk.:(

He'll have to give us an explanation. I really want to know his thought process there

Thanks EN, this quiz has been a lovely lead up to Christmas and helped take my mind off other things, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Have a lovely Christmas!!

Ectoplasm

Mid table mediocrity all the way for me.

Thanks a million for running EN, it was great fun!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Congrats on the win GnR.

Congrats on stealing the wooden spoon from my grasp Declan, and also congratulations to Ted and looksee for knocking me out of the bottom three at the final hurdle.

A well run game as always EN, cheers for hosting.

Purgative

Yes thank you Nitwit its been very enjoyable, infuriating at times too.


Thanks for doing all the legwork. Have a good one.

*I know one Forum Game I won't be playing next year!

Posible typo I reckon. I mean he is a Liverpool fan, he couldnt be that silly.

Top 10 WOOOOO!

Well done GnR that's pretty impressive it must be said.

LeVar not only avoids the spoon but escapes the relegation zone on the final day of the season, that's a Christmas miracle right there!

Nice spooning Declan

And finally thanks to the host with the most - if you all enjoyed this you should go and VOTE for it in the first ever Annual Forum Games Awards....
