+The Blorenges Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 A Ding ! to Hiho (and an extra one for perseverance ) I was looking for $847.63 when she gets scanned at the till... but i know where you're coming from with the other answers too Over to Hiho. Chris Quote
+hiho9 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 When was the A. O. B. system first introduced? perseverance 9 minutes and a wierd quad set of posts Quote
Nediam Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 When was the A. O. B. system first introduced? perseverance 9 minutes and a wierd quad set of posts What is the A.O.B. system? (or would that give the game away?) Quote
+The Blorenges Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I can only think of one thing that I associate with those letters. I'll guess - 1920 MrsB Quote
+Pharisee Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I have no idea what A.O.B. is but I'll have a guess at 1946.... for sentimental reasons Quote
+ZoomLens Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I think it refers to blood A+, A-, AB+ etc etc... don't know when it was introduced though.... 1910 as a guess? Quote
+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I think it refers to blood A+, A-, AB+ etc etc... That's the ABO system isn't it! The only AOB's I know are 'Any Other Business' or .AOB file extensions on DVDs! Noon 4th June 1916 Quote
+Dobunnis Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Blood grouping sounds reasonable for the AOB system and if it is then I seem to remember reading from the leaflets that the National Blood Service send out that the groups were first identified in 1900 (at least A B and O as AB was identified later), Helen Quote
+hiho9 Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 it does relate to the blood groups. but so far no one has answered correctly, t-girls being nearest so far Quote
+Dobunnis Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 it does relate to the blood groups. but so far no one has answered correctly, t-girls being nearest so far Hmmph Since I think it is after 1900 and Von-Horst guessed 1906 but I was closest that must make it 1901 or 1902. I will plump for 1902 since I know a number of others found the AB group afterwards and it would have taken time for it all to be recognised. Quote

+Dobunnis Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 We have one to hand which should not be too difficult if you know the answer The mp3 audio format is now ubiquitous but during its final development in the 1990s one song was used to perfect the tuning of the compression algorithm. For the ding, name the song and the artist. Helen Quote
+The T4 Two Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Could it have been Queen with Bohemian Rhapsody? Quote

It could be said that the mp3 compression format is tuned just to play that one song perfectly. Also Suzanne Vega has been dubbed the "mother of mp3" by some sound engineers.

+Mr Hedgehog Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Right, which is the only one of Richard Branson’s products not to have the Virgin name attached to it? Richard Quote
+Guanajuato Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Right, which is the only one of Richard Branson’s products not to have the Virgin name attached to it? Richard Isn't he involved in the 'Mates' product line? Virgin wouldn't really be appropriate in that situation! Quote

+keehotee Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) I beg to differ - Virgin sold off the Mates brand a few years ago - nowadays everything Virgin is Virgin apart from "Blue Holidays" Edited to add - knew he's sold off Mates because a very ex gf of mine is a chemist working for the company that bought them - and they (apparently) all got a bag of freebies - but had to Google to check.....

+Guanajuato Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Despite Keehote's (perfectly valid) protestations I assume I should be setting a question, as I got the ding... Who is credited with inventing the cat flap? Quote
+GeoCornetto Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Despite Keehote's (perfectly valid) protestations I assume I should be setting a question, as I got the ding... Who is credited with inventing the cat flap? Sir Isaac Newton. Just after being hit by an apple. Quote
+Guanajuato Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Sir Isaac Newton. Just after being hit by an apple. Ding. I guess we both got the same book for Christmas. Apparently, in typical scientist boffin way, when his cat had kittens, he made small flaps for them, rather than use common sense and realise they could use the full size flap.

+Guanajuato Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Have I broken this? The list page suggests Geocornetto had the last post, but my Ding for the answer is the last post... Over to Geocornetto Quote

SlytherinAlex Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 B000078DOI - B000002LQR - B000002MTR but whats the latest one called? Hmmm... I defy ANYONE to answer this one without using Google. Quote
+keehotee Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 B000078DOI - B000002LQR - B000002MTR but whats the latest one called? Hmmm... I defy ANYONE to answer this one without using Google. So, as this was covered on the last page, are you saying it doesn't fit within Rule 2? (Rule 1 - No googling! Rule 2 - Try and keep your question at the level someone in a pub quiz might be able to answer...) Quote
+rutson Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I agree with Alex, this is simply not general knowledge. So... googling is not allowed, asking your friends IS allowed. So if anyone wants to ask me, I know the answer ;-) Quote
+keehotee Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 ....and I asked my wife to look it up on Google - then she told me the answer..... I actually own 2 of these - but wouldn't have known the answer in a million years (unless I was a particularly sad record shop employee) Quote

+Team Sieni Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I googled it but still can't answer it. Quote

+chizu Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I think if I'd been asked that in a real Pub Quiz I would have walked out... Quote

I actually own 2 of these - but wouldn't have known the answer in a million years (unless I was a particularly sad record shop employee) At first I read that as you own 2 wives Back to the point - I've googled too. <Scratches Head> Quote
+GeoCornetto Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) LOL Looks like its time for another question then. Whats the latest Red Hot Chili Peppers album called? Edited January 15, 2008 by GeoCornetto Quote
