[Winston Smith]

Well at least I'm not bottom now. Have never suffered that ignominy.

[Lucylastic]

Oi you! I rarely, if ever, have excuses. You are confusing me with Lucy.

I offer explanation. I do seem to be a very unlucky guesser though. 99 times out of 100 the ones I get right are the ones I genuinely know the answer to.


Today being an illustration of that. 6/10 in 104.

*sigh* Hate Geography!

[Winston Smith]

You knocked me into Whoville you bitch.

Oh that's just lovely that is. I've noticed a trend with you. When you do poorly, you attack me. I see you tried to think like me today and got that wrong too. It goes thusly:

Question 1: What colour is orange?

Well that's a peculiar question. It sounds awful tricky to me. The obvious answer would be orange. But maybe they're not talking about the colour but are talking about the fruit. Lets have a look at the options...

-Red
-Yellow
-Orange
-Purple

Well I can cross out Purple for a start because that's just ridiculous. If they're talking fruit, it could be red or orange. If they're talking colour, it's orange. Obviously. Unless they're trying to trick me. So I can eliminate yellow. But yellow is kind of pale orange. Red is kind of dark orange. Orange is still too obvious. I better dunk my biscuit before my tea gets too cold. *dunk*.... and pause...two....three....four and remove. *nibble*nibble*nibble* I'll eliminate yellow. That leaves me with red and orange. I like red as it covers both the colour and the fruit if you think about it.

Question 2: How many stars are on the United States flag?

Well that's strange. It's quite a deviation from the first question. What topic are we on today? Probably History. There'll be a musical question later on. Anyway, do they mean how many stars now? How many originally? It could either be 50 or 13. If the person who made this quiz is from Texas they probably think it's the State flag with only one on it. Lets have a look at who made up the quiz. Bubba Joe from Weeziana? Good grief. Does he even know? How is it that he even owns a computer. I think I'll change my first answer to orange. *dunk*.... and pause....two...three...four.... and remove. *nibble*nibble*nibble*. Alright, lets look at the answers.

-13
-50
-100
-0

Well I can take out 0 for a start because all the flags have at least one. If Bubba was sipping on moonshine when he wrote the quiz he could've been seeing double and counted 100. I'll eliminate 13 because he no doubt didn't get no schoolin' done in the South. 50 or 100. Drunk or sober. I say 100. Did I change my other answer to red like I wanted?

[Bouncy]

You knocked me into Whoville you bitch.

Everyone has to do their time in the Village. Idiot.

[Winston Smith]

I'm trying to play psychological mind games with you Bouncy. You are my closest rival (for the moment) so I need to get under your skin.

That's a change. Usually you're trying to get into my knickers. I figured you were trying to sleep your way to the top.

[Winston Smith]

Well they're big enough lard @rse.

F****** brilliant! You win, hands down!

[Winston Smith]

Phew! That was difficult. Any Aussies will do well today...I knew four of them but wildly guessed at the rest.

[Captain]

I got exactly the same as you but took one second longer

[Winston Smith]

Nice!

"Hmmm", Bouncy thinks. "What colour is an orange? That could be a trick question...I had better read it again and go through all the answers carefully."

3 minutes later

"Not sure about this one", Bouncy muses, scratching her chin. "Let me see...could it be red? Maybe...but have I ever seen a red orange before?

What about blood oranges then?

They are still orange on the outside. It is only the juice and flesh that is red. Bloody horrible things anyway...they taste foul.

Some blood oranges do have a fair bit of red on the skin, but yes, they are predominantly orange in colour. You did not however say what part of the fruit was the subject of the question, so I don't see why red would necessarily be the wrong answer.

No they don't taste foul, they're quite nice actually, unless you have a very sweet tooth that is. They are, I am told, very popular with Southern Italians too. Unfortunately blood oranges have a fairly short season and are only in the shops for a couple of months or so, unlike other oranges, but when they are in season I buy quite a few.
