So with Fermgale in we have all the answers

So according to Dermot Keogh's Twentieth Century Ireland FF promised 84,605 jobs but of course that has very little to do with this quiz

We had four people who shared the wooden spoon with a guess of 500,000


Or at least that's what I would be saying before Ted came in with his guess

At the rave I spose

Green&Red

So that sees Ted eliminated on D2 and aaronjennings gets a bye tomorrow

Electric Nitwit

Green&Red

Tomorrow's question will be something completely different again

Sephiroth_dude

I feel so much better about my answer having seen Ted's 🤣🤣🤣🤣

the purple tin

That would have been a gnarly 4-way wipeout only for Teddy Bear. :eek:

aaronjennings

I knew that

Definitely wasn't a random guess plucked out of thin air

What? No, of course I'm not lying

How many jobs did they actually deliver?

Was the FF strategy in 1932 to pick such a precise number to make it sound like they had actually done work on job creation rather than just picking a round number which could be dismissed as a soundbite?

If I were you I'd keep to a low guess on that one. They also promised to drain the Shannon.

Yes but I needed time to cure the resulting hangover.

ShaneU

Close call today!

84,605. The 5 at the end were to be odd jobs.

Green&Red

Ya it looked for a long time that BuileBeag, Sephiroth_dude, ShaneU & wrestlemaniac were going to have an epic showdown tomorrow

Just on that if we do have a tie then the tie needs to be resolved first before the following days result is given, just in the off chance that a person finishes bottom again if that makes sense

Can just imagine listening to the news on the wireless and hearing Dev go 'we are going to create 84,605 jobs' and me going 'WTF???'

Huge spread of answers there! I love that one bad day can kick you out so no one can run away with it too early.

So Day 3

If a person can bench press a maximum of 100kg in one rep.

So do one rep and they are done, not able to lift a second rep at 100kg.

What is the maximum weight the same person can do 7 reps of?

Answers to two decimal places please

Green&Red

Also apologies to Rainbow, I think it was you who sent me an essay on the last question and I meant to post it but accidentally deleted it
If you send it to me again I'll post it

Trigger

This question seems like it should be easy......... Is it a trick......... I must be missing something........ Going to have to think about this for a while.......

Purgative

Green&Red

OK I feel like I'm not using the words that are in my brain to adequately express my question

The answer is not 1/7th


A person goes into a gym in a rush, only has time to do ONE benchpress. They put on 100kg because that is the max they can lift. They wouldn't be able to lift 101kg and they wouldn't be able to do a second lift at 100kg.

The next week the same person goes back to the gym, they have more time, they want to do seven lifts this time, what is the max weight they could lift seven times but wouldn't be able to do the 8th time

HeidiHeidi

Yeah, that hasn't helped.....

Trigger

I've got it!

Poor Greenie
I understand the question. Not a clue what the answer is but I understand the question

KathleenGrant

Anybody have weights at home and want to do the research for me? Heaviest thing i lift is the bucket of sticks for the stove.
