Are you enjoying the storyline or do you prefer direct questions?

Week 5 Winner

It was a slightly shorter quiz week than usual as I had a couple of nights away with my extended family. We still managed to answer 15 questions which were asked in a different format to last month. What did you think of the change? Keep with the storyline or return to direct questions?

From this week's 15 questions, @pennsif (Solo) continued his fine form with a score of 5.5 points to take this week's prize (10% beneficiary to this post). Oops-a-lot (@mojociocio and @ady-was-ere) also did well with 3.5 points with @disconnect (Solo) and NO team (@chriddi, @moecki, @event-horizon and @o1eh) both scoring 2 points and Two Shreks and Fiona (@bluelavender, @alexanderkass and @henryclive) taking the final point.

🏆 Congratulations @pennsif!

Overall Rankings After Week 5

Are Two Shreks and Fiona starting to get nervous as @pennsif closes the gap to just half a point? They're still sitting pretty at the top of the table but can they slow down @pennsif's fine form? Or will another team start to make their way up the table?

Questions 13 and 14

🎭 Celebrity Numbers 🔢

In this round, each person can request the unmasking of any number (1 per 30 minutes), which will unmask a square on the image below.

You then need to figure out who the celebrities are!

1 point for each correct answer.

This time, ChatGPT gave me 3 random numbers to get us started!

Be careful though, receiving too many number requests could make things too easy for others to guess!

Updates will be made every 30 minutes until the celebrity is guessed - 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)!

Last update: 7pm (UK Time)
Next unveiling: 7:30pm (UK Time) - Please select your number before then.

Question 16

🎥 Movie Magic 🎬

What movie is the image below depicting?

Citizen Kane

 4 days ago 

✅ That's correct! Harry Kane in a Man City shirt and Man City's Nickname is the Citizens.

Although Harry Kane never became a "citizen", at first I thought the movie title was related to that, to the failed deal.

 4 days ago 

Sometimes I'll post a question and think "That's too obvious" and then it turns out not to be.

Oh, I've just thought of a good one 🙂

 4 days ago 

Looking for Eric

 4 days ago 

👎 Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, Cantona.

 4 days ago 

Hä?

 4 days ago 

 4 days ago 

Isn't "The Keeper" the movie you are looking for?

 4 days ago 

👎 I'm afraid not. 'The Keeper' is not the movie that I'm looking for.

She's the Man🙃

 4 days ago 

👎 Oh wow! That looks like a truly awful movie!

One I haven't watched and probably never will 😆

 4 days ago 

Me neither!

Unfinished Business (2015)?

 4 days ago 

👎 It's not 'Unfinished Business'

 4 days ago 

United (2011)

 4 days ago 

👎 It's not 'United'

 4 days ago 

Hmm, why do I have this sinking feeling that I don't particularly like this new quiz master? Is he rude?

 4 days ago 

Not at all 💐

There’s Only One Jimmy Grimble

 4 days ago 

👎 Oh my, that looks soooo bad!

 4 days ago 

👎 alexanderkass is correct with the answer "Citizen Kane"

 4 days ago 

👎 That looks interesting and I see it's on Amazon Prime. Maybe that can be my next box set after Season 3 of Jack Reacher.

I confess that I like it because I love the actors, there are people who don't like the plot, but I liked it, I think I saw it two or three times (on different occasions)... haha.

Edit: I just saw right now that there are two movies with the same name, I'm referring to the one from 2016. I don't know if it's the same one as you say.

 4 days ago 

Ah yes... it looks familiar. I think I might have already seen it! Ha ha - yes! I have seen it! I gave it 7/10 on IMDB. I bet Jennifer Lawrence cries in it. I don't think I've seen a move that doesn't involve her crying at some point.

Oh yes, of course she cries a lot 😅

 4 days ago 

Transfer (2010)

 4 days ago 

👎 This question has highlighted a lot of awful movies to me. Perhaps next time I do a "Movie Magic" question, I should vow to watch the first incorrect answer that's submitted.

Question 17

🎥 Movie Magic 🎬

What movie is the image below depicting?


Cristiano Ronaldo crying after Portugal’s defeat against Morocco
Source

Hint: The movie appears in this list - https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/

Hint: @henryclive is the closest with "Cry-Baby"

Million Dollar Baby?

 3 days ago 

✅ Yes! That's it! Cristiano Ronaldo is the Million Dollar (per week) baby!

 3 days ago 

It might not be that much... but it's A LOT of money.

And that's a lot of taxes...

 3 days ago 

Not in Saudi Arabia! I’m pretty sure his salary’s tax free! (Although I could be wrong)!

A Bug's Life (1998)

 3 days ago 

👎 Definitely my favourite attempt so far!

Cry-Baby 🥲

 3 days ago 

👉 You're part way there...

The Crying Game

 3 days ago 

👎 I like it but it's not quite on the right track yet...

Se7en by David Fincher

 4 days ago 

👎 It's not Se7en. That's a great film.

 4 days ago 

Crying Man 🍀

 4 days ago 

👎 I'm wondering if my choice of example for the film doesn't translate well into German.

Maybe he doesn't know that he should say the name of the movie... 🤔

Now I remembered the name of another movie, but I still can't say it, right?

 3 days ago 

This is the name of a movie... but I've never seen it 😊

Yeah! Then I was checking and yes, there is a movie called that.🙂

 3 days ago 

In Germany almost every title is translated and I normally don't know the original name.

 3 days ago 

Yes - I've just looked up its name in German and it's completely different.

The movie appears in this list - https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/

Perhaps if you translate the names directly into German, one will stand out.

 3 days ago 

Which movie do you mean? Million Dollar Baby is exceptionally the same name in Germany.

 3 days ago 

Ohh, yes. It was Million Dollar Baby. I think it was Chat GPT that told me it had a different name in German.

The 2004 movie Million Dollar Baby is also known as Golpes del destino in German.

That's from whatever AI Google uses (Gemini I think).

 4 days ago 

Legends of the Fall

 4 days ago 

👎 It's not 'Legends of the Fall'... which definitely looks more like my kind of movie!

 3 days ago 

Ronaldo (2015)

 3 days ago 

👎 It's not 'Ronaldo'.

 4 days ago 

The Legendary Seven

 3 days ago 

👎 A clever try - I'm not a fan of his though.

 3 days ago 

A clever try

Very clever. Half a point?!

 3 days ago 

NepunatorCatGIF.gif

 2 days ago 

The Green Mile?

 3 days ago 

👎 It's not The Green Mile although that's probably what his 2nd stint at Man Utd felt like!

 3 days ago 

👎 Another great answer but it's not Oldboy

 3 days ago 

The Departed

 3 days ago 

👎 I'm loving these answers but it's not The Departed

 3 days ago 

Question 17 - Hint

@henryclive is the closest with "Cry-Baby"

Boys Don't Cry (1999 )

Oh, llegue tarde jajaja, sorry 🫣

Robbie Williams & Kylie Minogue

 5 days ago (edited)

Hey, super! 👍
Ist das Bild mit den beiden aus einem Film? Ich meine, ich hätte das Bild schon mal gesehen.

 5 days ago 

Witzig, Ralf kam das Bild auch bekannt vor. Hat Kylie nicht erkannt, obwohl er ein großer Fan von ihr ist.
Ich habe wegen der markanten Augenbraue an Robbie gedacht, suchte nach "Robbie Williams Duett" et voilà:

 5 days ago 

Haben wir also noch einen Mitspieler im Team :-)

 4 days ago 

Nee, nicht wirklich.
Obwohl Ralf mein unangefochtener Telefonjoker für sämtliche Raterunden und TV-Quiz-Shows für Musik aller Genres wäre, verweigert er nunmehr die Mitarbeit. Er mag die "Dinos" nicht hören, behauptet, der Tastenklick sei Körperverletzung und will mit mir darüber diskutieren, wer sich sowas ausdenkt, statt sich ernsthafte Lösungsvorschläge zu überlegen... Das Foto habe ich ihm nur mit der Frage "Kennst du die?" unter die Nase gehalten, ohne zu sagen, worum es geht... ;-)

 3 days ago 

Okay, das sind ja ganz neue Töne. Apropos Töne: da muss ich Ralf schon recht geben.
Mir hilft es aber meist ohnehin nicht viel, ewig darüber nachzugrübeln. Wenn es mir nicht gleich bekannt vorkommt, dann wird das auch nichts mehr.

 5 days ago 

✅ & ✅ It's Robbie and Kylie 🥳

 5 days ago 

 6 days ago 

John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John

 6 days ago 

👎 I see your thinking... but it's not them.

 5 days ago 

Kylie`s hairstyle would have suited Grease though...

 5 days ago 

Robbie Williams was looking pretty slick too.

I'm not sure how they'd have written this storyline in though...

 5 days ago 

Wow, sexy. Did not find this photo but the video for the song "Kids".

 6 days ago 

59 plz

I'll go for 53

 6 days ago 

I guess it is John-Claude Van Damme.

 6 days ago 

👎 It's not the mighty Van Damme.

 6 days ago 

Okay, then open 55 plz.

 6 days ago (edited)

Are you sure? It's 3 hours before you can guess again.

Having said that, you can guess the female.

 5 days ago (edited)

I've definitely seen them before...

Oh, it's already been solved....

Question 11

⚽ Sports 🏏

Back in 2021, I wrote about 2 Reading players who have both left the club for greater things.

They've since gone on to play for one of the giants of European football.

Which club have they both played for since leaving Reading?

Munich Bavaria?

 5 days ago 

✅ They've both gone on to play for Bayern Munich - Omar Richards signed for them straight from Reading and Michael Olise spent a few seasons at Crystal Palace before moving last summr.

Olise's so class.

 5 days ago (edited)

Crystal Palace

 5 days ago 

👎 Omar Richards hasn't played for Crystal Palace.

 5 days ago 

Yes. And I don't explain you the reason for my mistake... LOL
Stupid, since it would have been me (or Möcki) who were able to write the correct answer correctly: München... 😎

 5 days ago 

I thought about writing Bayern München but having grown up calling the team Bayern Munich, I wasn't going to change things now.

Interestingly though...

image.png

So maybe you and moecki would have provided the incorrect answer 😅

 5 days ago (edited)

Question 10

❔ Who am I ❔

I'm a retired sportsman who won the World Cup at the age of 31. The following season, I played in my country's 2nd Division. I ended my career abroad, playing my sport in both Australia and India. Whilst I won't tell you my birthday, I can tell you that I was born in the year of the Tiger and my star sign is Scorpio.

  • I was 31 when I won the World Cup

  • I ended my playing career in Australia and then India

  • I was born in the year of the Tiger

  • My star sign is Scorpio.

Alessandro Del Piero 🫣

 5 days ago 

✅ I'm impressed that you got this so quickly! ChatGPT kept getting it wrong when I asked it.

 5 days ago 

But ChatGPT gave me the answer immediately. That's why I chose the embarrassed emoji (because I have absolutely no idea who this athlete is).
Maybe the trick was this:
I was at my computer when I saw the question but I had to leave, so the search had to be quick. Since I know you check your questions with GPT, I obviously didn’t go for copy & paste. I just quickly typed in keywords in GERMAN...

Bildschirmfoto 2025-02-14 um 15.26.21.png

 5 days ago 

He's an iconic Italian footballer - best known for his many, many years at Juventus.

ChatGPT kept giving me other Italian players and even cricketers. None of which fitted the criteria. This can only mean that either;
a) ChatGPT has been dumbed down for English speaking users
b) I've been so rude to ChatGPT in the past that it doesn't even try to give me correct information any more.

It's probably (b).

Question 7

🪙 Steemit History 📜

When Justin Sun bought Steemit, lots of angry people got scared. One of their fears was that their beloved STEEM token would be replaced by TRON's TRX.

If TRON had converted all STEEM into TRX on that day, approximately how much would a user who had 10,000 STEEM (assuming no additional rewards or interest was earned) have today in USD?

Note: In case you use different conversion prices to me, please show your working.

According to historical market data from Trading View, TRX was trading at around $0.023–$0.025 USD & STEEM was trading at $0.20–$0.23 on February 14, 2020.

Given that the calculation should be,

If STEEM is $0.23:
10,000 STEEM × $0.23 = $2,300

At $2,300 total value:
$2,300 ÷ $0.023 = 100,000 TRX

TRX is now worth $0.2434

So, 100,000 TRX at a price of $0.2434 per token would be worth $24,340 today.

And I was so close, I misread the TRX price.

 6 days ago 

I haf different figures for the value of STEEM and TRX (from here) but everything's close enough 👍

 6 days ago 

If STEEM would be replaced, you got 1 TRX for 1 STEEM.
So a User would have 10000 TRX, which is now $2398.20 (with $0.23982 per TRX).

 6 days ago 

If STEEM would be replaced, you got 1 TRX for 1 STEEM.

Would that have happened? I worked on the basis that you'd get market value for your STEEM - which would've been a ratio close to 10:1 at the time.

 6 days ago 

I don't know. I didn't follow that at the time. It could also have been that only the name had been changed. We could also rename STEEM to MOECKI ;-D

 6 days ago 

You could do that on your front-end. The MOECKI token which always trades at 1 STEEM to 1 MOECKI.

 6 days ago 

Genau so war es genau richtig gedacht (und gerechnet)! 😎

 6 days ago 

Ein Versuch war es wert :-)

 5 days ago 

Klar. Hau raus, was dir einfällt. Das ist unsere einzige Chance. Die Konkurrenz schläft nicht.
Naja, ein Päuschen sei uns gegönnt - bei zwei Punkten auf Schlag... 🤪

Loading...

14 FEB 2020

STEEM used to be 0.26-0.28
TRX used to be 0.23-0.26

10k STEEM at an average of 0.27 would be 10800 TRX at 0.25
Currently TRX is 0.243, 10800 TRX is 2624.4$

Prices taken from CoinGecko

Nevermind completely wrong, I missed a 0 in the TRX price.

Question 15

⚽ Sports 🏏

Last night, Brighton beat Chelsea 3-0 to open this weekend's Premier League fixtures.

How many of Chelsea's players that played a part in the match have previously made a 1st team appearance for Brighton?

3 players
(Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo, Levi Colwill)

 4 days ago 

✅ That's correct.

Cucurella and Caicedo signed from Brighton whereas Colwill played for Brighton on Loan.

Have no idea about this Premier League! so I asked chatGPT and this was the answer.

02 players (Marc Cucurella & Levi Colwill)

 4 days ago 

👎 It's not 2.

It's amazing how much ChatGPT gets wrong!

2
Marc Cucurella, Moisés Caicedo
(Robert Sánchez was in the squad for the match but did not play, remaining on the bench)

Damn flag war? We have to find a different solution to this!

All questions will now be from this account. the-gorilla will still write the posts (because that's where my followers are) and the-gorillla will now comment. the-gorilla will "follow-vote" quz-master and the-gorillla so voting patterns will remain the same. So as crazy as it all appears, it makes sense to me. I was already thinking about having a @quiz-master account 🙂

Damn flag war? We have to find a different solution to this!

Yeah - that's up to the witnesses though. They've had 5 years to do something about it and haven't. I chickened out when I was running @endingplagiarism but this time, he can invite all of Hive to downvote me but the only pennies he'll be earning from now on will be curation rewards for supporting other authors. I'll scatter enough comments with the-gorilla to attract more downvotes (he doesn't seem to adjust his voting weight so will ruin his own power) and I'll track all 3 accounts. Simples 🙂

Good thing is that the-gorilla will attract all of the downvotes, so that people like inspiracion will be left alone. I'm cool with that. remlaps has an auto-downvote too so I only need to do 60% to finish them off 💪

Hi @mojociocio - So that you don't miss out, all future questions will be asked from this account.

This is just my suggestion:
I think the next shape is a circle again.
If we associate these shapes with the number π (3.14159...)
A triangle has 3 ends - represents 3
A circle can be taken as 1 (wholeness, no corners)
A cross has 4 ends - represents 4
The next number in 3.14159... is 1, and the circle was previously used to represent 1, so the next shape is a circle again.
Following the logic of π (3.14159...), the next number is 5, so most likely, after the circle comes a five-pointed star.
I don't know which shape to choose for the number 9 🤭😅

Ich habe euch natürlich gleich erkannt 🥳

I was blank so I just threw in a random number 🙈

It’s been 9 hours without an attempt (minus mine) how about a hint?

😆 Well you might as well try to get 1/2 point!

That crossed my mind! It actually happened while guessing about the toothbrush 😆

I'll hold off for a little while - I'm not sure what time zones people are in, for me, I posted it late last night (10:30pm) and it's still early (8am).

I do have a hint in mind but I think somebody might get it first 🙂

Question 1

🎶 Musical Dinosaurs 🦕

Kicking off the week with some classic rock from the 70's.

Please name the Artist and Title of the original Song.

Deep Purple - Smoke on the water

Hi @henryclive - So that you don't miss out, all future questions will be asked from this account.

✅ One of the first tracks that I learnt on the guitar.

 9 days ago (edited)

Question 2

🎶 Musical Dinosaurs 🦕

Into the 90's now...

Please name the Artist and Title of the original Song.

Hint: The part being played is the main guitar riff
Hints: The award winning album that this track is on has sold more than 18 million copies worldwide.

This is the final hint for this question so you're running out of time.

Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers

 9 days ago 

👎 It's not the Chilli Peppers.

Reminder of the 3 hour wait

Were you playing the intro to the song or the chorus? 🤔

 9 days ago 

They're not the first notes of the song, but they're certainly the most recognisable notes. So it's probably the chorus.

Time for a hint! Is this an alternative rock track, a dance hit, or something else?😊

Wheel of Fortune
Song by Ace Of Base

 9 days ago 

👎 It's not Ace of Base.

Reminder of the 3 hour wait

Wow, I was ready to bet that it was exactly this song.

 9 days ago 

I can hear the similarity for sure!

Hi @alexanderkass - So that you don't miss out, all future questions will be asked from this account.

I saw the title. 😈

 9 days ago 

What do you mean? 🤔

I saw a song name in the title of this video. It was there and then it was gone. At first I thought you wrote it by mistake. But it was the wrong song, not from 90s and later I found out that it has already been solved in Musical Dinosaurs. So probably just a glitch in my computer or mind. 😛

 9 days ago 

🤔 Je ne sais pas. I don't think I've typed out the song title anywhere yet... in fact, I had to double check the artist after I'd posted the question 😆

They are indeed. I think the Jungle Brothers were the support act.

Yes, they were. And Bentley Rhythm Ace. I used to love them.

And I saw R.E.M. in Hamburg in 1989. The ticket was a present for my Abitur. I listened to the band up and down back then. So why didn't I guess the Dino sound straight away? 🤔

Perhaps because you saw them in the 80's, you associate them with that decade, rather than the 90's?

After I'd recorded it, I thought "this one's too easy" so I was surprised when the first attempts weren't correct!

Question 12

🔮 What Happens Next? ✨

The watermelon - or whatever fruit it is - bounces right back into her face 😆

✅ To devestating effect.

The slow-mo replay is brilliant.

Good lord...the watermelon was completely smashed! 😬

Can you imagine how much that hurt?? I It's amazing she wasn't knocked out!

Wow, I just got lucky.

The mutated butterfly bird poops on the cameraman's lens.

👎 The butterfly got gobbled up.

I expected it to return and attack the woman but it didn't.

I expected it to be eaten. But since someone was faster again, I had to go one better. With the Pooh... 😉
No, you can't expect me to watch videos like that. And I'm too lazy to do the math right now - I never pay attention to the crypto rates and I gave away all my TRX for Uganda... 🙀

It's amazing to see the different trajectory for STEEM and TRX since TRON bought Steemit. I wonder what would have happened if the cartel hadn't had a tantrum. I wonder what would have happened if Justin Sun had maintained his interest after the tantrum ended. It seems crazy that the people responsible for Justin Sun losing interest are gone, allowing them to partially achieve their objective.

SBD got delisted yesterday. I'm feeling all doom and gloom again.

Time to write a "Change Log"...

 5 days ago 

I wonder what would have happened

On the one hand, I think that ‘we’ would have achieved a lot more in terms of further development as a complete, unfragmented group (okay, there's no better way to put it: as a blogger blockchain with a unique selling point). Perhaps even with regard to the crypto price of our coin. BUT there would always have been someone who is jealous of one person and doesn't begrudge the other the butter on their bread. That always happens when money is involved. So sooner or later there would have been ‘war’ again. Only the fronts would have been different, as the big, big stake would have been divided differently.

I'm feeling all doom and gloom again.

Don't! You're taking me down with you.
And I've just found joy in destroying and occasionally puzzling... ;-)

write a "Change Log".

Great and detailed!
I read it (of course, otherwise I wouldn't vote...), but once again I hardly understood anything. So please don't be annoyed if I don't comment - it would just be silly nonsense again anyway... ;-P

BUT there would always have been someone who is jealous of one person and doesn't begrudge the other the butter on their bread.

Yes, very true. It would never have been peaceful as those same idiots proved with their Korean war. Too stubbon, arrogant and proud to move on. Even now, they're not happy with their own empire!

Ok, I won't take you down 😆

I'm hoping that I can get one more set of changes in before the current proposal ends in a couple of weeks. Even if it's just a few bug fixes, I should try to get something done.

Then, I need to decide whether to put in for another term in office. There's still plenty to do but with the SBD price so low... and uncertainty as to what comes next with it, I'm feelings cautious about it. I'd have to ask for about 140 SBD per day, nearly 5 times the current proposal!

Decisions, decisions.

Putting the puzzles in a story line is much more creative.
But I prefer the direct questions. I can concentrate better on the individual question and don't have to keep going back into the story because I'm afraid of missing something. And then I was disappointed too often because other guessers solved the pre-requisite question before me, which made the next one easy. But I was still looking...

Speaking of guessing: a handful of quiz fans (including the quizmaster himself...) took part in our replacement event over the weekend. Word 08 is still available - first come, first served!

We accepted defeat long before Week 5 even started, so any nervousness is pretty much out the window 😆

I liked the storyline simply because it was new, but I prefer direct questions - they're much more convenient, no need to keep track of everything. Not that it matters, since most of the questions were posted while my teammates and I were asleep 😅🙁

I enjoyed the story - it allowed my imagination to run a bit wild with where to go next. Where would we have flown to from Boise Airport? Disneyland probably 😆

🎶🦕

And we'll probably be guessing which rides you went on there 😂

Genius! I could've found a Minecraft video with the ride and you'd have to guess!

You can still make that happen. As far as I know, there’s nothing the-gorilla couldn’t do 😎

Perhaps at the accepted time...(seriously, that would have been epic!)

Oooo, you could be correct. I could have a Minecraft round where you need to figure out what it is!

Assuming a Google Image Search doesn't make it too easy!

I’ve never noticed it before, SpongeBob could easily be in Minecraft!

Henry, you seem to be making our lives harder🤭

Everything is fine, Mr. Gorilla! We are still in a great mood, with a huge lead over our closest pursuers, so we have nothing to worry about.

Thank you for the questions, we see how hard you tried. Please try a little less so that it's easier for us to guess your riddles🥹

I'll get back to the classics 🙂

@the-gorilla
As you keep downvoting that farm, you will get downvotes back :-)

Keep pleasing well your Chinese overlords here as it is always a fragile state here on this shitty platform. You can easily fall out of favour of your Big Brother here :-)

I will ask some buddies from Hive to use their old accounts on Steemit to add some
nukes to your posts here.

 6 days ago (edited)

Suit yourself. I explained why those comments got downvoted and why I left the rest alone. If you want me to downvote all of them, then I will.

I actually thought I was being reasonable. I guess that’s over now.

If you stop downvoting them, I will stop downvoting yours.
It is that simple. Game theory.

You should care less about this platform and join Hive instead.

You care a lot for somebody who doesn't give a shit.

It is that simple. Game theory.

I know it well. So let's keep playing.

Since you refuse to stop the aggression that you started, I will not be polite anymore.

Since you refuse to stop the reward farming that you started, I will continue to politely downvote you.
