It was nice to introduce a couple of guest questions this week - there have been 144 questions asked so far and whilst it's easy enough to create questions in some of the existing categories, I'm struggling to maintain the variety to stop things getting stale so please shout if you have any ideas for GPT-proof questions.

I'm open to feedback about type of questions, level of difficulty and anything else as the quiz progresses. Please feel free to share your thoughts with me at any time.

Question 1

🎵 Music 🎶

Who Am I?

I Won't Dance and my cricket team has hit the Ground Running.

Will Young

✅ It is indeed Pop Idol and Kiwi Opening batsman - Will Young

Frank Sinatra Robbie Williams

👎 It's not Frank Sinatra Robbie Williams - you'll need to up Your Game with this one.

Oh… I think it is Frank Sinatra himself ?!?!

DonkeyNopeGIF.gif

Nice job cracking that so fast! Looks like you’re in beast mode aiming for the top spot! 😀

The answer is not yet confirmed.
But I love the song by Frankie-Boy and I know that Robbie has covered it. Robbie is a big football fan. Whether he's also a cricket fan, I don't know (yet)... 😎

I was absolutely sure this was the answer!🤔 didn't even try then!

I wasn't really sure, the number was a bit too obvious. After the second attempt, however, it was clear to me what it was leading to - the "spelling mistakes" couldn't be a coincidence...
Just like in the next question. Unfortunately, I discovered it too late to think about it. But you did brilliantly - congratulations!

My guess the answer to this question will be David Warner.

👎 A Strong effort but not the answer I'm looking for.

Shayne Ward

👎 Anything is Possible, but not Shayne Ward.

Mark Butcher! 🤔

👎 It's Your Game. Keep On trying.

Hello friend @the-gorilla,
I voted the article
I resteemed the article
I voted (of course!!!) the proposal
So…
Give no team the point, bro!

I voted (of course!!!) the proposal

Your vote is proxied to moecki 🫢

No, proposal votes are independent of witness votes.

Bildschirmfoto 2025-02-27 um 21.32.14.png

Apart from that, @moecki will also vote for the proposal...

#kleingartenverein... LOL

  ·  14 days ago (edited)

Absolut richtig! 👍
Also, der Teil mit meinem Vote. Das mit der Unabhängigkeit stimmt so halb. Wenn der Proxy nicht votet, zählt dein Vote nicht mit. Warum auch immer dies so festgelegt wurde...

Stimmt. Jetzt, wo auch du es sagst, dämmert es wieder. Ich meine sogar, damals Chiller als Proxy verlassen zu haben, weil er etwas länger brauchte, bis er das Proposal gevotet hat.
Naja, läuft ja... 😎

https://steemworld.org/proposals

But look - it says your vote's proxied to moecki. I think they're connected to witness proxies.

Of course, I could be wrong. Your vote's there but it's crossed out!

Yes, I remember; there was something...
Discrimination, don't you think? Just because you're too lazy to take care of your witness, you're not allowed to make other important decisions? That's called incapacitation... 😎

✅ I will be providing multiple points for this question 🤣

Did I say 'no team' or 'NO team'?... 😎

Ha ha - you said "no team". That's not your team. I don't know which team that is. Maybe they haven't joined yet.

I didn't know that 3L gorillas were so fond of puns, too. Is that a special breed? Or do you have no idea?

I definitely have no idea.

I checked this message on my phone whilst at the hospital later. the-3yo-gorilla saw it and found it hilarious. He wanted to watch the little green fella over and over again 😆

Do I get extra points for the NO team if I voted for Proposal #89 :-D

Ahhhh, I see. Steemworld 🙂

How do I see 87 and 88 though? 🤔

Loading...

Oh, is it #proposal-89? How did you find the new number?

I wonder what #87 and #88 were!

Done ✅

Thank you 👍

Yep!

Thanks 👍

Voted.

Thank you 👍

Question 12 - Guest Question

🔗 Connections 🖇️

Beyond the obvious (that they are infectious diseases that primarily affect humans and have significant global health impacts),

What connects these four diseases?

  • Malaria
  • Hepatitis
  • HIV
  • Tuberculosis

Each of these four diseases has an annual awareness day officially recognized by WHO.

👎 That's not the connection we're looking for...

Each of these four diseases led to groundbreaking medical discoveries that earned Nobel Prizes.

✅ That's correct! Each of these diseases led to the awarding of a Nobel Prize in medicine.

They are all transmissible diseases

Malaria needs a vector (a female anopheles mosquito) for the transmission. So it's not directly transmissible...

Only tuberculosis (TB) is airborne. Other diseases require a vector (e.g., needles or mosquitoes), are foodborne (e.g., some types of hepatitis), or are sexually transmitted (e.g., some types of hepatitis and HIV).

👎 I'm looking for something more specific - unrelated to how the diseases spread or behave

No apparent connection
Two are viral
One protozoal
One bacterial

Other than that they are prevalent in low socio economic conditions/countries

👎 I'm looking for something unrelated to how the disease spreads or behaves...

Perhaps what ties them together is that without timely diagnosis, they can all lead to death?🙂

👎 The answer is unrelated to possible consequences of each disease...

I can think of The Global Fund, fighting against three infectious diseases i.e; HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria. Still hepatitis is left out!

These infectious diseases (minus HIV) are 3 major global public health threats that undermine development in low- and middle-income countries...

Can't think of anything else!

disconnect has got the answer - each of the diseases have led to a Nobel Prize in medicine.

Question 15

🎥 Movie Magic 🎬

What movie is the image below depicting?


quizw8q15.png

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

✅ Correct! It's the good, the bad and the ugly.

Question 8

⚽ Sports 🏏

In 2024, my team took me to Dortmund, Turin, Paris and Brest and I've already returned to Turin and visited Belgrade and London this year.

Where in Europe will I be going next?

London.

Eindhoven ist going back to London, playing vs. Arsenal

✅ You got it!

Question 8 -- Hint

My team plays football.

Eindhoven

👉 Ah, home sweet home.

Still blank! 😅 but the good thing is we are running out of famous cities.

Rome

👎 Ha ha! There are a lot of cities in Europe!

Athens

02nd clue please...

👎 chriddi has the correct answer - London. They're all places that PSV Eindhoven have travelled to in Europe.

Rotterdam

👎 I'd love to go to Rotterdam. I bet it's beautiful.

The team is Stade Brest.

👎 My team is PSV Eindhoven and I'll be travelling to London for the game against Arsenal.

Yeah, you asked about the next town... 🤦‍♂️

  ·  15 days ago (edited)

You are in France (Paris, Parc des Princes) on March 5, 2025, and play against Liverpool FC (Champions League Round of 16).

👎 I will not be in beautiful Paris.

Oh yes, that's where we're going! After all, you live there and like to play football. At home against Liverpool... 😤

👎 It won't be against Liverpool. Maybe next time.

Munich

👎 It's not Munich. What's your thinking with this attempt?

Berlin

Just guessing some famous European cities 😀

👎 Ha ha - Well, I guess that you might get lucky!

How about some clue here!

Ok, I'll add a clue...

Amsterdam

👎 It's not Amsterdam. What's your thinking?

What's your thinking?

Something I won't tell you in the moment.

Well...

Madrid?

👎 It's not Madrid.

I've added a clue...

Not a good clue for me - I've been working on it (football) since last night... 🤔

Ah, maybe I won't wait long for another clue...

Madrid

👎 It's not Madrid. What's your thinking to choose this location?

Just guessing...😄

Barcelona

👎 It's not Barcelona.

I've added a clue.

Leipzig, Germany?

👎 Nein. Das ist nichts richtig.

Liverpool

👎 chriddi's correct with London - to watch PSV Eindhoven play Arsenal.

Question 2

🎵 Music 🎶

In the last question and in reply to the incorrect attempts, I included various songs by Will Young.

How many?

7

✅ It is 7! I used Your Game twice!

Wait, wait, wait.

It's not 7!

What to do... alexanderkass's answer was outside the question and there was an 8th correct answer - All the Songs. I'll have to void the question now I think!

  • Who Am I
  • I Won't Dance
  • Ground Running
  • Your Game (2x)
  • Strong
  • Anything is Possible
  • Keep On trying
  • All the Songs

8 (9)

This was really a great question. Chapeau!

TrumanJimcareyGIF.gif

This was really a great question. Chapeau!

The stars aligned nicely for this one.

😅

EmbarrassedSpongebobGIF.gif

Yes, I did include All the Songs. What did I miss? 😅

Who Am I
Anything is Possible
Your Game
Strong
Ground Running
All the songs
Keep On

Edit: Shucks, I forgot the I Won't dance. My bad

That's the one!

DanceTanzenGIF.gif

I feel bad for the upvotes I didn’t deserve. If I get it right next time, feel free to skip the upvote 😅

I need to use the voting power anyway 😆

Oh, or maybe it is... let me check...

I might have used a song more than once...

👎 It's not 5

Question 5

🎵 Music 🎶

From a musical point of view, which of the artists below is the odd one out and why?

You will only be awarded the point if you correctly identify the image and the reason.

quizw8q5.png

(2) Celine Dion is primarily a performer - not a songwriter...

(Phil Collins writes and produces much of his own music, and Kylie Minogue and Kish Mauve, who have songwriting credits on some of their songs.)

👎 That's not the link that I'm looking for.

Has Celine Dion really not written any of her own songs?

Yes. I was surprised too.

I think it is No. 1 (Kish Mauve) because she has not yet had a number 1 hit.

👎 The answer's not related to the chart position of any of their songs.

  ·  16 days ago (edited)

Celine Dion (2)

She has no song with the title „In Your Eyes“.
Phil Collins does (1981), Kylie does (2001), and the Band Kish Mauve does (2007).

👉 Well... I don't know what to say. That's one heck of a coincidence as the answer that I'm looking for is extremely close to what you've discovered...

I didn't want you taking it 2 heart so I didn't say 👎

  ·  15 days ago (edited)

Nevertheless Celine Dione.

Kish Mauve wrote and recorded „2 Hearts“, Kylie Minogue made „2 Hearts“ a successful hit singing it after her comeback and Phil Collins has his hit called „Two Hearts“.
Celine has got only one heart… ❤️

✅ Correct! Celine Dion only sang about One heart, all of the others sang about Two.

ClapClappingGIF.gif

The Cardigans (01) are the only pop band, whereas the other artists are solo performers.

👎 Image 1 isn't The Cardigans

My bad! still (01) Kish Mauve is the odd one out, Because all other released their albums or gain major recognition in the 1980s.

👎 I'd count Phil Collins in the 70's too whilst with Genesis.

Phil Collins (4) is odd.
He is the only one who has never sung a duet with Kylie Minogue (2), been staged by Kylie (1) or is Kylie himself (3).

Phil Collins (4) is odd.

Harsh. But probably true.

👎 I don't know if the 1st artist has performed with Kylie. It's possible.

Phil defends himself... 😎

Question 6

🎭 Celebrity Numbers 🔢

Another one of my favourite rounds, and this time, I'll update as quickly and regularly as I can.

In this round, each person can request the unmasking of any numbe, which will unmask a square on the image below.

You then need to figure out who the celebrity is!


Once again, ChatGPT gave me 3 random numbers to get us started!

Remember though, an incorrect guess will lead to a 3 hour wait!

Once the image is updated, you can request another number (even if you're on your 3 hour wait)!

quizw8q6-3.png

Aamir Khan

✅ That's correct - I was hoping soulfuldreamer was still here to get this one 🙂

Hehe... I'm glad I saw it first. She would have easily guessed it. 😆

Awwww
I missed it again

😁

Ed Helms

👎 It's not Ed Helms - it does look a bit like him from The Hangover though!

I should have waited a bit more.. 😥

Question 3

🎵 Music 🎶

My music collection’s all jumbled! I found this song, but I’m sure it should be something else:

It's Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee as Lin-Manuel Miranda It (And The Beatles)

What should the real song title be, and why?

It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M.

A hit track from every artists mentioned.

✅ That's correct! The artists ended up in place of the song titles!

"Bring me sunshine" - Kent and Dee worked together on different songs... This one remembers to "Good day Sunshine" from the Beatles.

👎 It's not 'Bring me sunshine' - disconnect has the correct answer.

We could do with some sunshine - the weather's miserable here.

Question 9

🧭 Map Story 📖

We were most recently in Boise, Idaho and have a new travelling companion - Spuddy Buddy. You've had an unusual time in Idaho State which has been somewhat Over the Top. You've decided that it's time to Go.

You head back to the airport and book a flight that leaves within the next couple of hours. You've heard that your destination is Where It's At and feeling rather Sleepless, you decide that you've got time for a few drinks whilst you wait.

Hopefully,you won't get a Hangover once you're Up in the Air.

Where is your next destination?

Las Vegas?

✅ Viva Las Vegas! Lucky You.

Question 10

🎥 Movie Magic 🎬

In Question 9 and its comment, how many movies were mentioned that are set in Las Vegas?

(Please list them with your answer)

8
Over the Top
Go
Sleepless
Where It's At
Hangover
Up in the Air
Viva Las Vegas
Lucky You

✅ That's correct 👍

6

Over the Top
Go
Sleepless
Where It's At
Hangover
Up in the Air

👎 It's not 6 - it looks like you missed my comment 😔

Doofenschmerz! 😑

Question 4

⚽ Sports 🏏

When Am I?

image.png
image.png
image.png
image.png

The 1983–84 season.

✅ This is indeed the 1983-84 season so I am in 1984.

Question 7

⚽ Sports 🏏

In snooker, I pot the balls in the following order:

Red -- Black -- Red -- Black -- Red -- Pink -- Red -- Yellow -- Green -- White

How big was my break?

26 points.

✅ 1 + 7 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 + Foul = 26

Shouldn't it be,

(1 + 7) + (1 + 7) + (1 + 6) + (1 + 2) + 3 + Foul = 29

The only time that you can pot the green is after the yellow. But... after every red, you have to pot a colour - So the final red followed by the yellow is correct. Then, you've got to pot the yellow again before you can move on to the green.

Sneaky aren't I 😆

Not the expert on these rules! 😀 okay whatever you say and we move on...

I've always enjoyed my snooker 😀

29

👎 It's not 29... it looks like moecki's got it...

Coming Soon

I'm out for a few hours so will share the next question upon my return.

AreYouReadyDhvaniBhanushaliGIF.gif

Do you know any urdu/hindi songs. I can guess almost any Bollywood and coke studio from Pakistan. ;)))

Just thinking out loud

Does this count?
