Wait, you have a voodoo doll?!
That would explain a lot, I was worried it was just old age!

I think he's making us sweat a while

Green&Red

Yes the reveal is tonite

So there were 360 million glasses of champagne drank on NYE in America

At least everyone's guess was in the millions

Green&Red

There were 698 million glasses in the difference between the highest guess and the lowest

Just when it looked like Neowise was going to be the first man going Barney92 swooped in with a late underbid.

Notable mention to the purple tin who almost went so high that he lost and to Mollyb who thinks that half of the American population are underage.

Tauriel

Yikes, that's a close one :eek:

Green&Red

From tomorrow until day 25 I will be providing a pass for the closest unique answer to the correct answer (for example today that would have been Kathleen Grant). The will be exempt from elimination the following day

Awww poor Barney! But yaaaay I survived!

Electric Nitwit

The US average more than a glass per person?! :eek:
Someone must really be doing their bit to keep that average up!

Toto Wolfcastle

I actually said 200 million, but thankfully it doesn't matter!

duffman13

Champagne is ****e, the played a part in my guess

I mean, I've just looked it up and it's apparently almost 25% that are under 18 so I don't think 50% is so preposterous. And from where I sit there always seem to me way more feckin kids than adults everywhere I go!


Happy to get through though.

Posy

I thought I'd missed it altogether and just guessed in a blind panic when I remembered the game just after 7pm in case I was too late!

The drinking age is 21 over there too, so you were even closer again!

Weird fact, in Ohio or Wisconson, you can drink at ANY age once you have a parent, guardian or Spouse present. And in Maryland they add teachers to that mix :pac:

The "...or spouse" bit is slightly scary!

But I love the idea of Maryland schoolkids getting drunk in school.

That must be a worldwide figure?? Seems very high considering the population is circa 330 million

couple of glasses each?

Green&Red

Right a change of pace today


According to their 1932 election manifesto, how many industrial jobs were Eamonn de Velera's Fianna Fail party promising to create if elected?

Still bitter about being lied to, Greenie?

I'm claiming I used maths today, though really I just made a few guesses and combined them. I'm not sure that counts...

Trigger

I have absolutely no idea, but I reckon there was a few on here alive for that :pac:

G&R, might be better to Bold the question? Just a suggestion, its your game

I should also have said that I'll be taking all questions from books I have here in the house, so it could be from Harry Potter or from Colombia's lonely planet.

Did those damn muggles collaborate with the Colombians on Irish Industrial Policy again?

Trigger

I submitted, and went to Google to see how wrong i was and couldn't find a thing :pac:

Uh oh! I think I really overestimated it.. and I've no idea if I did

the purple tin

How many flutes would you get from a bottle of champoo? I thought the drinkers would have polished it all off on the night before it lost its fizz.

the purple tin

Oh lordy. I just read the question properly. NYE only, so any flutes drank after midnight wouldn't be counted.

I have no idea either, so I went with an answer that I thought was moderate enough hoping that someone will go way over

Cough cough purple cough cough

Where did you get such a question?
You were most likely around for that manifesto were you?
Give a hand in writing it even?

She was the first name I thought of, I even had her name there, but she's not playing :P

Well that is unfortunate. Someone had to be the first out anyway. I'll take my wooden spoon with pride.

Best of luck folks.

No doubt they over promised and under delivered.

Is 'industrial job' a general term for all jobs promised or specifically in an industrial setting?

It’s who they described it. They also references skilled builders.

If that info changes anyone’s guess feel free to send an update

Green&Red

27 in so far

the purple tin

Thank you Rainbowtrout

I don't feel like such a dope now for doing that during Nitty's quiz

At least I could just say "what will everyone else think?" when you asked. Greenie's gone with there being correct answers like a fool, that means it's always his fault, not ours!
