Oh I see! Big Grin

RE: FOGLESS - A Pointless Game - aaronjennings - 15-03-2023

Wow, I almost killed it in the movies round. I narrowed my list of answers down to the franchises which I thought would be the lowest-grossing, and actually got them 100% spot on! My short-list of 8 consisted of all 3 pointless answers, and all 5 wrong answers Big Grin

That's where the skill ended, however. I would have said Toy Story and Transformers, and along with Australia and USA would have scored 30

Unlucky Lorcs!
Good answers for the countries Tongue

I didn't put much thought into the films beyond avoiding a couple of the biggest hitters, think there was a good degree of luck in this round for me

Hahahahaha, believe it or not I don't have the slightest clue of best selling singles. I will take a chance with a song that I believe will be in the top-15, but other than that I will play it safe with all answers.

Would have been great to have an Arsenal final  Big Grin

@BuileBeag is our first finalist, congrats

@E.N. falls at the last hurdle and goes home tonight, thanks for playing

RE: FOGLESS - A Pointless Game - E.N. - 16-03-2023

Yeah, I looked it up after, Thriller wasn't even in the top 100 😳

I was surprised also, I think he only had 2 in the top 100. If it included subsequent sales and downloads since the 80s he would have a lot more.

Might have been a good answer for the us charts

RE: FOGLESS - A Pointless Game - Kol - 16-03-2023

Damn. I named both of those in my ramblings to Kol, then earned 27pts with my two answers 🙈

Still waiting on @Irish Aris for an answer in the tie breaker.

Can then plough ahead with the final

RE: FOGLESS - A Pointless Game - Irish Aris - 17-03-2023

Apologies Kol,

Answer just PMed 🙂

RE: FOGLESS - A Pointless Game - Irish Aris - 17-03-2023

Ooh, the Blue Monday was a kind of bold selection from me.
I seem to recall reading that it is one of the best selling 12'' singles of all time, but couldn't remember if this was in the 80s only or included 90s etc.
Glad I stuck with it

Yeah, I knew that record (well, thought it was vinyl rather than 12") bit I had no idea how that would transfer to total sales so I chickened out 🙈

Reveal on the way

RE: FOGLESS - A Pointless Game - Kol - 17-03-2023

Necro has picked Mexico

I can tell you Mexico have played 60 world matches which places them in 8th position overall, scoring Necro 5 points

That's a good pick, let's see what Aris went with

RE: FOGLESS - A Pointless Game - Kol - 17-03-2023

Aris has picked Uruguay who have played 59 matches and places them in 9th place scoring Aris 4 points

Congrats @Irish Aris you will meet Buile in the final

Very unlucky @Necro couldn't have been any closers, thanks for playing

RE: FOGLESS - A Pointless Game - Kol - 17-03-2023

I will post the final questions this evening with reveal tomorrow and the game final on Sunday
