Bat for Lashes is a solo artist, her cousin was considered the best in the world ever in his sport... Who is he? As it's gone on a while, pub quizzers should know him by his record... Most consecutive victories in any sport. (obviously this rules out anyone from Great Britain) Edited June 28, 2011 by NattyBooshka Quote Link to comment

Khan went undefeated playing squash for years Pete Ding dong! Jahengir Kahn, cousin of Natasha "bat for lashes" khan... Went 555 matches with all victories from the age of 17 unbeaten... Over 5 years. During this time he won a major tournament without losing a single point. His record is under threat... Number 2 on the list is a female wheelchair tennis player who is now past 350 wins in a row. The only people who compete for the title are the Harlem globetrotters.... Who've been unbeaten for decades. They have however drawn matches in regulation time, going on to win in overtime. For records purposes these are counted as draws, so the unbeaten streak goes on, but the winning one stops. Edited June 29, 2011 by NattyBooshka Quote Link to comment

In some quarters 28th June just gone was referred as 'Tau Day': To what does 'Tau' refer? Quote Link to comment

Somewhere along the lies of the mathamatical bods want a new number. Tau is equal to 2x Pi The number is 628 the date written in the non-UK format.

Pajaholic Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 In some quarters 28th June just gone was referred as 'Tau Day': To what does 'Tau' refer? The only thing I can think of is the maths constant. I read something about this last week but IIRC 'Tau Day' is today (the 29th) not yesterday. According to some wrong it's illogical to define stuff about circles according to pi, the ratio of circumference to diameter when everything else to do with the geometry of a circle is expressed in terms of its radius. Tau in this sense is the ratio of circumference to radius and is thus equal to 2 x pi. Using tau, one revolution = tau radians whereas the same angle is 2 x pi and this, according to proponents of tau, can make geometry and trigonometry a little simpler. Quote Link to comment

Pajaholic Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My question is who are the only football club to have sacked Sir Alex Ferguson during his long managerial career? My guess is that it'd be early in his career as a manager. He's a Glaswegian, so I'm guessing one of the Glasgow and surrounding area clubs like Partick Thistle, Queens Park, Clydebank, Dunbarton, St Mirren, etc. I've got to pick one, so stab in the dark: Partick Thistle?
