Re(1): Trumped? Maybe, maybe not. IP: 213.205.192.96 Posted on April 14, 2016 at 08:32:01 PM by Barry
The suggestion that the points should go to whoever was nearest the bull were clearly intended to help the qm settle any wrangles over these two questions. That's fine. The trouble is, it invites the qm to seek answers from both sides and see which one is better. We don't do that tho. In reality, the qm has to make a decision as to whether team 1 is right before passing it over. In both questions last night, the first team provided a partial (but perfectly correct) answer with the second team adding the detail, which presents the qm with a real dilemma. It IS only a quiz, though and I don't want to get into an 'angels on pinheads' position on this. In the end we sorted it out perfectly amicably, so no harm done. Replies:
