Bugger!

JohnSSC · 5 Sep 2005, 12:36 (Ref:1399480)

Hmm. One question correct. I think that would mean I have scored exactly one point in this round. Fortunately, that is consistent with many of my other rounds...

Don't say that you are the only person to get question five correct! Well done. Not bad for a "50:50" question.

curveball also managed to an entrant who succeeded on a question where others failed - question nine.

Whereas no one got question six correct!

**Adam43** · 5 Sep 2005, 19:39 (Ref:1399770)

Very enlightening Adam, well done.

But, like the man said - bugger.

climb · 6 Sep 2005, 06:44 (Ref:1400051)

I think the real winner is (Bleu don't get upset!!) Adam Ashmore, who brought the results in such a fast way!

Many thanx!!

T0MAT01 · 6 Sep 2005, 08:09 (Ref:1400092)

A suprisingly tough round since there were 4 50/50 questions.

Well done to Bleu and cheers very much Adam!

BootsOntheSide · 6 Sep 2005, 18:48 (Ref:1400656)

If Albers hadn't competed his by-then-pointless lap, and if Michael hadn't trown it away 2 laps form the end, I'd've been fine. And as for Toyota putting someone disguised as Jarno Trulli in the car, instead of the guy everyone says is a hopeless racer....

**Adam43** · 6 Sep 2005, 22:35 (Ref:1400872)

Boots,

TOMATO1, it was an odd round as you say.

**** FIA PRESS RELEASE ****
After calling in the stewards and time keepers from the '03 Brazilian GP it has been concluded that mirwin posted his results after free practice had begun and is ineligible to score points for the Monza round of the Fan's competition.

To ensure that this failure in policing the competition isn't repeated the chief competition master, AdamAshmore, has been relieved of his duties to be replaced by a team comprising of FerrariFanatic and Skam85

Thanks everyone for your patience

climb · 7 Sep 2005, 06:05 (Ref:1401037)

My first podium this year!!!

**Adam43** · 7 Sep 2005, 09:19 (Ref:1401144)

Well done

I note the average score for the champiionship leader is 3.8! Wow this prediction lark is difficult. Good stuff - it is good that it is a challenge.

I wonder what the highest score we have ever had is?

Knowlesy · 7 Sep 2005, 16:25 (Ref:1401509)

I am consistent this season! Too little too late though!

JohnSSC · 8 Sep 2005, 02:34 (Ref:1401873)

I was doing better last season and that with missing two rounds! I have participated in every round so far with shall we say dismal results...I think my Random Answer Generator needs a tune up!

rameire · 8 Sep 2005, 16:41 (Ref:1402070)

Im thinking that my Total of 5 points for the whole year is incorrect.
I must say though, Nice presentation, very informative and What looks like a lot of work went into.
So thumbs up.

**Adam43** · 8 Sep 2005, 18:25 (Ref:1402170)

Thanks, I'll look into it...

Adam

**Adam43** · 8 Sep 2005, 19:01 (Ref:1402222)

OK. I see that you were on 34 points after Germany. You scored 4, 2 and 3 in Hungary, Turkey and Italy respectively. That gives you 43 points.

I have editted the table a few posts up to reflect this.

Thanks, anymore...

Knowlesy · 8 Sep 2005, 19:54 (Ref:1402262)

I feel sorry for you tomato, the pressure to hang onto your lead must be enormous.

I plan to keep the pressure on, you know, and let's see what happens. It's a long season, anything can occur. We've got a great team (of one) and all I can do is try my best.

Sorry, starting to sound like a PR blurb there.....

But seriously, you are cracking up Tomato, you only got one point in the last round.

**Adam43** · 8 Sep 2005, 20:06 (Ref:1402282)

knowlesy, I presume you won't give up until it is mathematically impossible!

T0MAT01 · 8 Sep 2005, 20:59 (Ref:1402313)

Yeah, sadly I can't do an Alonso and pinch the title this round...
