Okay, landafar. It’s a pleasure to be part of your-tiebreaker, though not an eligible one.
1. Don’t think you went that far. -> FALSE
2. I suppose you already have one, but instead of flowers or perfume why not a new rice cooker for your wife -> TRUE
3. No matter how hard you try, but attending ALL 46 games could be a bit too much. -> FALSE
4. I’m traveling mostly in Europe, but I’ve never refused a dish offered to me. I guess you react about the same, especially when you’re familiar with far more cultures than myself. -> TRUE
5. Sounds quite realistic, why not? -> TRUE
6. I’m running out of “TRUE” answers -> FALSEInteresting statements, and I’m quite unsure about all of them. Maybe I should switch 1 and 2, but I won’t since i’m not in the competition.
Landafar,
I’ve just checked my scores and to my reckoning I only have 6…
And checked homer and he also seems to also have 6…We may have a wider tiebreak – unless you’ve put the Trues and falses in the wrong places in your answers?
Value Is EverythingThanks Gingertipster, Ill have a recount..I did check multiple times today..but that means nothing.
I believe in the answers, I mixed up questions 4 and 5 in the answers, if that makes sense.
Just edited the answers so I hope that adds up. Result stands as up thread (I hope).Please check, and let me know.
Great stuff.
I look forward to Landafar, after this excellent ten, clarifying the result so the astute winner can take their turn with a fiendish, five true, five false, set of ten of their own.

Love the Chinese zodiac question, and am surprised none of us identified the topic as it was very timely!
Tie Breaker:
1, I was selected to go on stage at a Blue Man Group show, (fantastic Show btw) and had a micro camera inserted into my mouth. The camera images from my mouth were switched to a prerecorded video shown on a big screen to the audience. Showing someone’s throat and stomach contents.Sounds so daft, it would be difficult to make up. So I expect it has happened, whether it’s to you – not sure – but I’ll say… TRUE.
2, My Wife just asked me for a new rice cooker as a valentines present.
Do wives ask for kitchen stuff these days? If so possibly an air fryer. So… FALSE
3, As I support the Cobblers football team, one season the bug grabbed me, and I attended all 46 league games.
Supporting Northampton must be depressing, going to all games doubly depressing. Nah only joking. Just with your worldwide travel I doubt you had the time – unless it was a long time ago before the travelling. So… FALSE
4, When travelling I will try all dishes of food offered to me without hesitation, as its considered rude not to.
I don’t think your ethics would allow you to eat poorly treated farm animals etc. So… FALSE
5, I have participated in the World Conker Championships held at the Shuckburgh Arms Southwick Northamptonshire
You’re from that area so to participate once would be no surprise… TRUE
.
6, Back to cue sports, I have never potted the black playing Korean Billiards.Korean Billiards may not even have a black ball. So… TRUE
Value Is EverythingGood luck to you as well GT. My answers are :-
1) TRUE
2) FALSE
3) TRUE
4) TRUE
5) FALSE
6) FALSEThanks ID and Marlingford.
Tie Breaker results.
Ex Ruby Light a nice two stars, Im stumped as I cant split Homersimpson and Gingertipster (fantastic reasoning) who also both have two stars each.
As another tie breaker set of questions in beyond me at this hour.
Would you both agree to change four each of your answers to find a winner?
Obviously Im not going to tell you which are right and which are wrong..
Good Luck!
Landafar,
Great questions.I’ve done a 10 before so will let Homer have his go.
.Value Is EverythingThat’s extremely – and typically – sporting of you, GT.
Great effort, Landafar and well done to GT and homer.
I look forward to homer’s set of ten.

Tie Breaker: Answers

False
Back in the day, I went twice to watch this show in London, after the first show, I was aware that its best to sit away from the front of the stage due to the potential of being hooked up on stage by a big blue man.2, My Wife just asked me for a new rice cooker as a valentines present.
True
Yes really, as our daughter took the one, we had off to University in September.3, As I support the Cobblers football team, one season the bug grabbed me, and I attended all 46 league games.
True HS……1
Bucket list thing, daft as it may seem. All 46 League 2 matches in the 1999/2000 season home and away. Final match of the season was at Torquay, a close win resulted in the Cobblers being promoted in third place. Some away games involved driving 3 or 4 hours to Exeter and Carlise for mid-week games. Well worth doing, but at the time I estimated the cost to be around £4K, tickets fuel etc.4, When travelling I will try all dishes of food offered to me without hesitation, as its considered rude not to.
False GT……..1
I did sample everything then after a few years I gave up. I don’t eat offal and certainly not the Chinese Shandong favourite of Donkey private bits. Theres a few other apparent delicacies like smelly tofu and raw kidney/liver that I just cant ..can not eat.5, I have participated in the World Conker Championships held at the Shuckburgh Arms Southwick Northamptonshire.
False…….. HS 2
Its on my bucket list of things to do.6, Back to cue sports, I have never potted the black playing Korean Billiards.
True……… GT 2
Korean Billiards is a version of the French cue sports game using 3 balls playing cannons on a table without pockets.Many thanks Landafar and GT who has sportingly let me have a go. I’ll post mine up tonight. I wonder if they’ll believe me about the little green men I saw the other night
The probability of seeing those little green men Homer was under nought percentage so you were very lucky
Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Waiting over. The 10 questions are :-
1) The first racecourse I visited was Yarmouth.
2) I once was having such a bad run in Listowel that I asked the landlady of the Guest House for 3 numbers. The 3 numbers were put on a Virtual Horserace, 50c Combi Tricast which won me nearly €1,400.
3) I once played Bass Guitar on the Cavern Club stage in Liverpool.
4) I once scored a century in Club cricket.
5) I have stayed next door to England manager Gareth Southgate whilst on holiday.
6) The first time I got on a horse I fell off and broke my arm.
7) Last year was the first time I moved house in my entire life.
8) I have just accepted a new job offer after 35+ years in my first and only job.
9) I went to see Queen’s final concert with Freddie Mercury as lead vocalist at Knebworth Park in 1986.
10) I once received a telephone call from F1 McLaren boss Zak Brown.
I’ll leave up a few days and post answers probably next Tuesday evening.
Good luck all.
