7 days, 7 questions

[Greedo]

A pathetic 2

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Two. Rather embarrassingly that included the one about Girls Aloud. But they were all guesses anyway.

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Has anyone noticed that nobody has got zero. If I remember correctly the statistical probability of guessing all the wrong answers in the same as guessing all the right ones.

 

[Paulus]

Hooray, back on track with a middle of the road 4/7 after last weeks dismal 0/7.

 

[numbnuts]

4 for me

 

[Landslide]

A jive-talkin' 4

 

[Wolf04]

A much improved 5/7 and only 4 were guesses.

 

[ArDee]

like this weeks 4 correct

 

[Fnaar]

1

 

[Noodley]

A huge great big fat zero! Even by my standards that is piss poor.

 

[johnnyh]

a good guessing 4

 

[Aperitif]

3 - all known. My guessing game is right off key at the moment.
Cuban eels are cigar shaped are they not?

 

[Dayvo]

Interrupting my worst-ever holiday again, (which is getting EVEN WORSE), I equalled last week's worst-ever score!

one!

 

[cchapman]

4 actually, all guessed except one.

Someone may have pointed this out already, but no. Some questions have three answers proffered, as in the case of the length of the tanker, only one of which is correct. So the chance of getting it right would be one in three, and the chance of getting it wrong would be (1-1/3).

It is however an interesting question, but the difficult part is defining a "guess". Is an 'inspired guess' or a 'shrewd guess' still a guess?
