You can make codes with the alphabet though so...

of course..

you could use a pseudo coding languarge.

Here is a hello world program wrote in pseudo code.

[
Go get a sheet of paper,
then get yourself a crayon, preferably blue or green,
then use the crayon to write the letters "HELLO WORLD!!" on the sheet of paper.
then hold the sheet of paper over your head, displaying it to anyone who looks.
]

it used the alphabet, but the coding language we were using was pseudo code

Bloody Pythagorus. It did actually occur to me but I don't know what a mathematical constant is so I went with a stupid answer instead.

Tonight, we SHEEP

We started with a not-too-difficult question, wondering what battles the French have fought in. Many possible responses, a lucky escape for a pair opting for a war rather than a battle. A nice SHEEP to start us off, but not a huge one...

A 6 way tie at the top to start us off, dave on form again tonight. The acers sit sharing a spoon for now, but that could all change very quickly

I'm a Sheeple!

I'm hot favourite for the spoon. I like to play it like Pointless. Whatever version that is.

That's PEEHS

Thank you Abba!

Up next, the ole US of A and it's many presidents. Nobody got a wrong answer here, and even though one didn't specify which of the Roosevelts they meant, I gave the benefit of the doubt that it was Teddy!

Ooops, sorry Nothing, if it's a problem I don't mind getting zero , my own fault!

The famous slave owning free-er of slaves (with caviates) and shot in a theatre ex-president takes the SHEEP here, but can anyone hang on to a top spot? Wichita is definitely contender for spoon after 2 aces!

Question 2: Name any US President before JFK

Not a problem at all, I should have checked the answers earlier and asked for clarification

Exactly, how were we meant to know?

Question 3 asked for an Industrial Revolution invention, and again an array of correct answers, from the first car to the harnassing of electricity, and some accidental slave increasing inventions!

The steam engine takes a massive SHEEP and our old friend Wichita aces again.

It's interesting what a fear of Heeps and Peehs does to these answers!

Our final question in the history round asked for a historical event in your lifetime. Despite the spread of ages for us foggies, one hit a big SHEEP
