I'd say just the two furthest away rather than too high and too low. So it could be a high and a low answer, or two from one end. Question on percentage and the answer is 95. One person says 2, another says 3 and the highest guess is 97. I think the 97 would be hard done by for going too high. Incidentally they could also be closest to the correct answer.

Oh yeah you're right. I didn't think that through!

My actual answer was 12,345,678

I was trying to get my answer around the Rent musical song..... Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes.

Electric Nitwit

Had no idea where the ballpark even was today, so an outright guess. It wasn't good, but...



In fact, I deliberately went much lower than I thought, and was still the fourth highest

Interviewer: 'Where did you get your inspiration for the song?'
Songwriter: well I was reading this book of statistics on agricultural output in Ireland in the 1920s .....:D

I'm definitely getting knocked out soon

In the 1970s the Catholic Church extended their nullity laws to combat the rising number of people who wanted a divorce.

This resulted in several bigamous marriages where the church had nullified a marriage but not the state and then remarried the same people!

Anyway in 1980 there were 694 applications to the church for an annulment, how many were decreed null?

Island of Ireland

That is a really interesting question.

Sorry, its all Beakerjoes fault

Green&Red

You know that scene at the end of ghost where Patrick Swayse f**ks off

Well same

Correct answer today was 76, to be eligible for an annulment both parties had to apply, this meant only about 130 went to judgement

So we say goodbye to Clara and ShaneU gets a bye for tomorrow
