ROUND 1 - MOUSE OF GAMES
In this round, I have changed one letter in the names of four TV shows, and created a description of that new programme based on its new name. I will post that new description, and it is your job to determine what the name of the new show is
Two sample questions:
Sample Q1: Combat machines are treated in hospital for their injuries
Sample A1: Robot Ward
Sample Q2: Ryan Tubridy hosts an after-dark talk how in which people try to find love
Sample A2: The Late Date Show
I want the name of the show with the new letter in place, not the name of the original show. And because of the nature of this round, I will be strict on spelling
And remember, no research allowed
Q1: A group of nerds conduct explosive experiments on waste receptacles
Q2: An Irish gameshow in which trickles of water compete to win big money prizes
Q3: This Australian soap’s latest plot twist is inspired by a Stephen King novel-turned-TV series
Q4: A Welsh singer shows no mercy when fighting against fanged members of the undead

ROUND 2 - DISCTINCTLY AVERAGE
In this round, I will post four questions, and you must give your best estimate of what you think the answer is. However, this is a Pairs Game - I will be combining your answer with that of another random player, and the average will be the answer for both of you.
Sample Q: The number of pieces in the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle set
Sample A: 4,500
If you were to be randomly paired with John Doe, whose answer was 7,500, then your combined average answer would therefore be 6,000
In a slight variation on the actual scoring system, the pair whose average answer is closest to the correct answer will receive two points each. I will also award one point to each member of the next-closest pairs, such that 50% of players will receive points in this round. Don’t worry about it, that’s for me to figure out
And remember, no research allowed
Q5: The straight-line distance, in kilometres, from Malin Head to Mizen Head
Q6: The population of Connacht, according to the 2016 Census
Q7: The total length, in seconds, of the Taylor Swift album “1989”
Q8: The most-Liked Tweet in the history of Twitter has how many Likes?
