Here's the link to the original - http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=10255&page=1 - you all know how it works. I'll appoint myself as first quizmaster... but who's answering the questions first? Let's find out as we play... Fastest Finger First!!!

Put these Oscar winning movies in chronological order of Best Picture win, starting with the earliest:

A) American Beauty B) Ben-Hur
C) Chicago D) Driving Miss Daisy

Bump

I'll take a guess and say B, D, A, C.

Sounds about right, stand by for confirmation and the first question...

The correct order with the year of the award ceremony in brackets:
B) Ben-Hur (1959)
D) Driving Miss Daisy (1989)
A) American Beauty (1999)
C) Chicago (2002)

So Katie gets it absolutely correct, and gets to play. And for this one I'll go for the revised 12-question format currently being used on ITV.

So, for... £500, here's Q1!

Which member of the Star Trek crew famously had pointy ears?
A) Kirk B) Spock
C) Picard D) Scottie

Edited at 18:39 Wed 30/01/08 (GMT)

I'm not a Trekkie, but I think I know this!

I'll go with B) Spock, final answer!

Yesssss, you're up to £500, let's see if we can get you up to £1,000.

A labrador is a type of what?

A) Ant B) Bird
C) Cow D) Dog

Katie?

Oh, I didn't know you posted on here already!

D) Dog, final answer!

D for Dog it is, well done, you're on £500! Now let's see if we can get you up to 1k.

What's the world's largest country?

A) Australia B) Brazil
C) China D) Russia

question 2 is normally harder than that lol

*Thanks knowledge of useless information*


I know for a fact (I hope!) that D) Russia is the largest country in the world. Final answer!

You've gone for D... and it's the right answer, you're up to £1,000!!!!!!!!!!

Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Yeah. So, you're just 10 questions away from a million. Question 3 is as follows:

Who directed the legendary 1970's movie Taxi Driver?

A) Martin Scorsese B) Roman Polanski
C) Sergio Leone D) Francis Ford Coppola

Ugh, I never saw this, but the only one that makes sense to me is Martin Scorsese...

I don't know for sure though, so I think I'll Ask the Audience, if that's okay.

Ask the Audience, no problemo, standby while I.... ask the audience!!!

Okay, here's what happened:
4 said A
1 said B
0 said C
1 said D
And one person answered "the middle 1 maybe"

So that's 67%-17%-0%-17%

Edited at 21:20 Fri 1/02/08 (GMT)

"The middle one maybe" lol....

I was about 85% sure that it was Martin Scorsese, and those percentages are pretty good odds...

So I'll trust the audience and go with A) Martin Scorsese, final answer!

Can you trust the capricious WWTBAM (i.e. FP) audience?

.....

It's gone to orange...

.....


You can trust the audience, they're right, you're right, you're up to £2,000!
