Honestly, how can you set a quiz when you don't what the range of answers can be?djewesbury wrote:I don't think there is a 211... here is a more recent, up-to-date list than Julian's..AHB wrote:Unless I have mistyped it 211 is Kininvie.djewesbury wrote:Hmm. At least the first guess represents a distillery. Albeit one in Loch Lomond.AHB wrote:I meant 211.47!AHB wrote:112.47
The second guess is not a valid number. I think the numbers only go up to 126 or so.
Do you not have the links Derek posted earlier on open in an adjacent tab to this one??
However, I take I am wrong so I am now guessing 106.
106 is by far the closest guess so far.
[where are you getting 203 and 211 from....?]
Humph. I have to wait for someone else to guess now.

But you do know what the range of answers is - it's any number up to 126, so long as when you cross-reference that number against the map that Derek linked to, it's in Speyside! And then you posted the range of available numbers above!AHB wrote:Honestly, how can you set a quiz when you don't what the range of answers can be?djewesbury wrote:I don't think there is a 211... here is a more recent, up-to-date list than Julian's..AHB wrote:Unless I have mistyped it 211 is Kininvie.djewesbury wrote:Hmm.

We need three of us, and about twenty minutes. Person A takes the distillery numbers that are 1 modulo 3 (so 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, …, 151). B takes the distillery numbers that are 2 modulo 3 (so 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, …, 152). C takes the distillery numbers that are 0 modulo 3 (so 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, …, 153).
We could do all the distillery numbers in a ten-minute blitz, then repeat with cask numbers.

But you have posed a complex puzzle, not "a guessable question". This isn't intended to be mindnumbingly dull, it is supposed to be something that people can dip in and out of, make a semi educated guess and continue doing other things.djewesbury wrote:Hooray, we have a geeky solution at last.

But Glen Elgin isn’t in DRT’s list.
Edit: too late. Thank heavens for that.
Derek: I have a nice question. Should I ask it? (Just to give DRT a better informed choice. ‟What decadent thing am I about to do. That I sometimes do this is known to (at least some) members of TPF.”)

Re: One quiz at a time

You were riding a giant lemon, on the Left Bank. You were there because it was your hippy phase and you'd dropped out for a few years. The Bastille Day celebrations in the Deux Magots got a little out of hand and you ended up spending a night in the cells.DRT wrote:Where was I on 14th July 1980 and why was I there?

Celebrating Bastille Day is one of the things I did that day, but it was not the reason I was in the town I was in.
Re: One quiz at a time
Posted: 20:53 Fri 18 Oct 2013
You were 16. You were in Amsterdam (with some French friends hence celebrating Bastille Day) buying dope and enjoying the attractions of the Reeperbaum. Why were you there? Because you were a 16 year old boy with a healthy curiosity.
