+chizu Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Owl grades: O - Outstanding - JackieC ? ? ? ? T - Troll - A freebie, as I want to move this on. The last correct answer gets the ding. Well OWLs stands for Ordinary Wizarding Levels. 2nd is E - exceeds expectations 3rd is A - acceptable (?) Quote

+minstrelcat Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 It's a quiz. People ask questions then other people answer them. Quote

SlytherinAlex Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 A Ding! to Ravenclaw then. You can ask the next question if she's not keen Alex. OK, here's one from Ravenclaw. What is the nearest star to the Sun?? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted August 8, 2007 Author Posted August 8, 2007 Proxima Centauri is closer at 4.22 light years. Unless it's a badly worded trick question, in which case it answer could be 'The Sun'. Quote

This appeared in the Sun crossword many moons ago Clue - Sea Mammal……………the answer is two words. 5,3 Edited August 8, 2007 by The Lavender Hill Mob Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Proxima Centauri is closer at 4.22 light years. Unless it's a badly worded trick question, in which case it answer could be 'The Sun'. That is what she says. Over to you. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted August 8, 2007 Author Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks very much. Those years spent in the Aylesbury Astronomical Society weren't wasted then. So, for my question, simply name the film from its poster artwork. Ding to the getter of the final one. Quote
+MarigauxToby Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 I think 4th on top row - Breakfast at Tiffany's 1st on bottom row - Jaws Quote
Nediam Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 4th from the left on the bottom row looks like:- Dr Strangelove, Or How I Learned.......etc Quote
Nediam Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 3rd on the top row is, I think, Bladerunner. Quote
Nediam Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 5th on the bootom looks like that Al Gore "movie"? - but I can't remember it's name Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Is the top left the James Bond film, where he flies the Gyrocopter? Not sure which one it was so will guess Goldfinger. Note the the Lavender Hill Mob, you've got to get a question right (& be awarded a DING) before you can ask your question, so get your thinking hat on, but GOOGLING isn't allowed! Quote
Nediam Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Is the top left the James Bond film, where he flies the Gyrocopter? Not sure which one it was so will guess Goldfinger. Doh! stupid me of course it's a bond film But I think it's "You Only Live Twice" Quote
+ZoomLens Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Third on the bottom is Hitchhiker I think. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 Everyone's correct so far. I need the name of the Al Gore film though, and which Rocky? That'll only leaves the tricky one, top right. 1 - You Only Live Twice - Nediam 2 - Ratatouille - Nediam 3 - Bladrunner - Nediam 4 - Breakfast at Tiffany's - MarigauxToby 5 - ? 6 - Jaws - MarigauxToby 7 - A Rocky film, but which one? - TBC 8 - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Zoomlens 9 - Dr Strangelove - Nediam 10 - Al Gore film... But what's it called? - TBC Quote
+keehotee Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 The Al gore film's an inconvenient truth, don't know the others... Quote
+Team Sieni Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 5 ... wild guess. How about The Pink Panther? It's got that kind of 60s feel to it. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 1 - You Only Live Twice - Nediam 2 - Ratatouille - Nediam 3 - Bladrunner - Nediam 4 - Breakfast at Tiffany's - MarigauxToby 5 - ? 6 - Jaws - MarigauxToby 7 - A Rocky film, but which one? - TBC 8 - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Zoomlens 9 - Dr Strangelove - Nediam 10 - An Inconvenient Truth - Keehotee You're close Team Sieni - 1959 was very nearly the 60s Quote
+chizu Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Just Rocky - (ie the original Rocky) Not sure about #5 maybe some like it hot? Quote
Nediam Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 7 - A Rocky film, but which one? - TBC The latest one, Rocky Balboa? Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 You're close Team Sieni - 1959 was very nearly the 60s I was thinking Gigi but that's '58 a. Quote
+Team Sieni Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Oh well, it was just A Shot in the Dark. It's not that either, is it? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 1 - You Only Live Twice - Nediam 2 - Ratatouille - Nediam 3 - Bladrunner - Nediam 4 - Breakfast at Tiffany's - MarigauxToby 5 - ? 6 - Jaws - MarigauxToby 7 - Rocky Balboa - Nediam 8 - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Zoomlens 9 - Dr Strangelove - Nediam 10 - An Inconvenient Truth - Keehotee Still no dings for number 5. Not Gigi or A Shot in the Dark. Another clue: It's a famous courtroom drama Quote

+MartyBartfast Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 I'm at work now and the picture's being blocked by the firewall but taking SP's clue about the courtroom drama I'll guess: Witness For The Prosecution Quote
+chizu Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Ooo I can't think of it's name but does it star James Stewart?? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted August 10, 2007 Author Posted August 10, 2007 Yes it does, as Paul Biegler... so the title for a ding is..? Quote
+chizu Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Bah! I've googled it now anyway, but I don't think I would have remembered. I saw it a couple of years ago - good film, ahead of its time! Quote
+Simply Paul Posted August 10, 2007 Author Posted August 10, 2007 Time for another clue then! It's Something of a Something. Quote

+rutson Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 There's no such thing as "Stumpy Pumpy"? :-P Quote
+Eckington Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 about 2 inches ..................a little more precise an explanation please, though I have the sneaky suspicion you are right Quote

FFB is alluding to the fact that there are 2 types of Manx cat. A rumpy has no tail and a stumpy has a short, rudimentary tail. A big DING to FFB! Ecky Quote
+Flyfishermanbob Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 One of the useless bits of info I remember from a hol. in IOM .... back to you Ecci.... think you'd be much better at setting a question.... Slainge Bob Quote
