Re: Most ridiculous question you have had?
cryptic clues
i chose musical instruments (have seen this one twice can't remember exact details) each time i didn't have the complete phrase bonus otherwise would have noted it down.
something along the lines of 9 6
and the answer was something like DJIMBLAIC PCAZAH (!)
on the second time it came up i kinda remembered it had Js and Zs but got it wrong again. although before drowning the mummy in blood i pressed the bonus clue. it said
"musical instrument, you'll never get it"
as spoilers go this one's my favourite.

Re: Most ridiculous question you have had?
just been to gooooogle trying to find that instrument but with no luck, i did however find a few others which the good people at (whoever made cryptic clues) might like to consider adding; all of these are 100% genuine musical instruments:
LOJKI
SHVI
NAAL
ZAUB
OVCHARSKA SVIRKA
MIJWIZ
CRWTH
MBIRA
DUDUK
WIND WAND
ANGKLUNG
and
UD
but no sign of the one i got given on the game.
also btw, a google search for 'itbox quiz' gives this page as the first match. (before any affiliated sites) just 'itbox' puts this site 4th

> I keep getting impossible questions like...
> Which year had it's days on the same dates as 1786?
> a. 1784
> b. 1791
> c. 1797
> how the **** is anyone sposed to know that????
Its obviously c. 1784 is only 2 years behind, 1791 is 7 ahead, so the difference is 7 + the number of leap years, which is not 0 obviously, so the difference is not a multiple of 7. So its c.

Re: Most ridiculous question you have had?
football crazy:
"heroes of 66" six letters
nope; not: stiles, peters or wilson
the answer was HTTGES
(i have since found out that mr httges was the german left back, (hardly a hero).)
on the same subject category i have also seen
BAKHRAMOV
but i happened to know that one; he was the russian linesman.

Re: Most ridiculous question you have had?
also the "self-generating questions" are often spoilers:
e.g. what is the average combined gestation period of (animal) and (animal2)?
e.g. what is the combined length of the (river) and the (river2)?
e.g. how many years separate the invention of (invention) and (invention2)?
all of the above are utterly unfair and 100% reliant on luck.
however what number is represented by the roman numeral YYYY is fairer

In answer to Don quizlione
I believe 'dominical'(?) letters will tell you what days will fall on what dates from year to year.
Google it - It should provide the tables of dominical letters.

On the Matrix I got the same question 3 times in a row; that did nicely for a quid. No try-agains, guessed the answer, ran neatly up to the £1 mark and cut my losses.

Re: Most ridiculous question you have had?
On a who wants to be a be a millionaire machine a good 4 years ago, at the start it gives you the lifeline question
It asked me to put in order how long these things take to do, and one of them was "bonking"
Made me chuckle anyway.
Also unrelated slightly, but i was doing very nicely on a snooker themed machine from the cluedo era (give us a break/big break/pot black, cant remember name) the one where you needed 147 for JP, was going along very nicely, and gave me a mystery bonus. All of which were "miscue." Bastard, something tells me that machine wasn't going to pay out lol.
