I can find more than enough ridiculous questions but if the general consensus was that ye wanted it moved on quicker I'm ok with that too, let me know what ye think

Have a deadline each evening, 8pm or whatever. If an answer isn't submitted by then that person is automatically out as well as the usual elimination. 11-12 hours is more than enough to submit. Kinda takes the buzz out of the reveal when it could be anytime between 7pm and 11pm.

Don't tell anyone, but I haven't answered for a week.

I have been one of the worst offenders but if 8 was the absolute deadline i would stick to it i think it's cos i know i will get leniency i forget sometimes

More social studies this morning

In 1960 what percentage of Irish 15-19 year olds, whose parents were professional, employers or managers, were still in education?

Edit: The other classifications were farmer, skilled manual worker and semi/unskilled worker.

Do apprenticeships count as education?

Posy

I assumed it just meant secondary school, then I reread the question and figured it could include college (I was well finished with school by 19!) but I've already answered, so meh!

I am not gonna lie. I'm really worried about tonight. Really.

I have gone to submit my answer around 3 times now, but every time I read the question I think it is asking something different.

Is that a thing in forum games? How do I apply?

So everyone in nice and early today.

The correct answer was 47%, the overall total was 26% across all demographics


Lots of you well off this evening but who was furtherest away?

I just asked my wife and she guessed 80%, that's why she won't join me in Forum Games :pac:

Bye folks. Thanks for the fun.

rainbowtrout

I would have expected the answer to be higher

Green&Red

I'll probably go back to this book for more questions, it has a good range and lots of numerical data
