Friday Quiz...

[NoMercy]

... for all you brainboxes.

You know the drill, first person to answer correctly asks the next question.

Q1. Which animal can recognise itself in the mirror?

[mccfluff]

paul - doing my head in now, i can;t think of anyone else!

[BetteK]

Shows what I know about rugby! At least I had a go.

[pa___ul3]

I hope I haven't got my maths wrong!!

[mccfluff]

ok i have

30 players per side so 60 per game x 3 games = 180
3 refs = 6
6 touch judges = 12
3 balls = 3

=201

[mccfluff]

ha ha that was so wrong

15 per side 30 per game = 60 balls x 3 games = 180

my god 60 players, that would be entertaining!

[pa___ul3]

aaah there's the confusion... I said 'any' of the weekend's games... I meant that to topicalise it and to confirm we're talking mens rugby! Basically saying how many balls on one pitch at the start of a full sized game of men's rugby! Sorry for being too vague!

[mccfluff]

just one game then?

so that would be 67 then?

[pa___ul3]

nope! you were close before!

[mccfluff]

i'm lost there are only 3 games aren;t they?

[pa___ul3]

yeah but I'm only talking about on the pitch at one game.

[pa___ul3]

and I don't agree with your maths in the first place! More balls!!

[Davethedog]

30 Players = 60 I ref = 2 2 Touch Judges = 4 1 playing ball = 67 What hav I and Fluffy missed then

[mccfluff]

so confused :-) thanks dave - least i'm not on my own

[pa___ul3]

aaaah my maths was...
on the pitch - 15 + 15 + 1 ref (touch judges aren't on the pitch) = 31
each man has 2 balls, 2 eye balls and 2 balls of feet = 6 per man
6x31 = 186 + 1 match ball = 187
sorry for frustrating!!

[Davethedog]

Ahh Touch judges aren't on the field 63

Nice weekend all

[mccfluff]

you;'e a *** pa__ul :-)
