Who wants to be a GLillionaire - Ask the Audience - Q6 Up

[Amb]

Hi All - Over the next few weeks, im going to post a few multichoice questions (Like the one above). Can you all answer the question picking the answer you feel is most likely. Please don't look it up first, as I want to try and achieve realistic answers. The percentages that I get from each Poll may well be used.

Question One:
What is thrown in the sport of Mangold Hurling
a) Mangoes
b) Marigolds
c) Mannequins
d) Mangelwurzels

[mathgrant]

My guess is: I didn't see the poll - d'oh!

Feel free to vote that, so the vote count goes up

[Amb*]

I'll give it another 24 or so hours - publish the results, and post the next question.

Then I will ask for all the players who looked the answer up first to confess

[Amb]

Results of Question 1
What is thrown in the sport of Mangold Hurling?
a) Mangoes 23%
b) Marigolds 7%
c) Mannequins 23%
d) Mangelwurzels 46%

Coming to a grand total of 99% due to fractions. Ill bump one at random for my purposes.

The correct answer was D - Mangelwurzels! Congratulations to the 46% who got it correct. It certainly was nice to get votes for all 4 answers. I don't expect the same with the next question.

Question Two
Which of Japan's four main islands is both the smallest in geographical size and population?
a) Hokkaido
b) Honshu
c) Kyushu
d) Shikoku

Note, if you don't know the answer, please take a guess at the one you think is most likely.

[Amb]

Also comments about better fake answers for the previous question accepted. Discussion about mangelwurzels accepted as well, just dont make it a yawnfest

[Courk]

I guessed right! Woo!

[Amb]

Results of Question 2
Which of Japan's four main islands is both the smallest in geographical size and population?
a) Hokkaido 30%
b) Honshu 10%
c) Kyushu 30%
d) Shikoku 30%

Fairly well split on that question. The third question is:

What is the name given to the crossbred offspring of a Donkey and a Zebra?
a) Zonkey
b) Chausie
c) Caraval
d) Okapi

The answer to the last question, in which 30% of people were correct: Shikoku. And to the 1 (or so) persons who answered Honshu, :-p, I didn't think anyone was going to answer that one.

[Amb]

What is the name given to the crossbred offspring of a Donkey and a Zebra?
a) Zonkey 27%
b) Chausie 18%
c) Caraval 32%
d) Okapi 22%

(This question was asked to several friends as well, and I have included their responses in the final percentages)

Question Four
Who wrotes the cartoon comic strip "Hagar The Horrible"
a) Dik Brown
b) Bill Watterson
c) Jim Davis
d) Darrin Bell

The answer to the previous question was not Okapi, Okapi being the only other real animal on the list. The real answer was Zonkey - with Caraval and Chausie being made up words Congrats to those that got it right.

[Samadhi]

Whoever chose Bill Watterson should be shot.

Ill leave this up for a couple more days, Id like to get more than 7 respondents... if possible

[mith]

You spelled the correct answer's name wrong.

[Courk]

Aren't they all wrong, since the verb is present tense?

[raekuul]

No, because they're all nouns.
I think.

[Amb]

Who writes the cartoon comic strip "Hagar The Horrible"
Dik Brown 50% Correct
Bill Watterson 33% Calvin and Hobbes
Jim Davis 0% Garfield
Darrin Bell 16% Candorville


What name is given to a regular polygon with exactly 1000 sides?
a) Chiliagon b) Myriagon c) Tetracontagon d) Henagon

[raekuul]

Tempting, but I'll go with Myriagon since it seems most likely.

[Amb]

Whats tempting...

[Amb]

Anyways - ill try to do a new question tonight. FOr the record, the majority of voters were wrong.

[Courk]

I chose Chiliagon for the current one because I'm cold.
It's logical, trust me.

[Amb*]

Its also correct.

[Amb]

What name is given to a regular polygon with exactly 1000 sides?
Chiliagon 25%
Myriagon 50%
Tetracontagon 0%
Henagon 25%

Chiliagon is in fact correct.
