Moopy Family Fortunes 2021 - Round 7 - RESULTS AT 16:45

[AlgoAlex]

For CHRIST'S SAKE, I went for what I thought was the Moopiest answer and look where it got me. I thought everyone but me hated Oasis!

Moopy always chooses HATE over LOVE

 

[funky]

How is Titan not the obvious moon?

thank you!
Most people googled it seems. I checked and that was the main answer

 

[Alla]

As an actual certified frenchie I guess he can confirm the context they're used in rather than me, but I thought marmelade in French is the same as the English "marmalade" - orange and bitter. What English call "jam" the French called confiture and this is sweet.

Oh right! We don't have a word for marmalade, we call it "bitter jam", and we use the word mermelada for all of them, which is why is confusing.

 

[Tisch]

thank you!

We're winning the moral version of this game, and I'm okay with that.

[big ron]

Yeah probably would have picked the contry named after the fucking thing if I was sober

 

[ButterTart]

Ecuador sounds like 'equator', which was why I assumed it would be the top answer

 

[Indie]

Ecuador felt like the obvious answer there, with the name being derived from being on the equator.

 

[ButterTart]

Yeah probably would have picked the contry named after the fucking thing if I was sober

Uganda be kidding me

 

[Indie]

Disappointed to get no "Equatorial Guinea" answers though, despite it being wrong.

 

[Alla]

Ecuador was the most obvious answer of this round. I mean, how can you give any other answer?

 

[funky]

Ecuador felt like the obvious answer there, with the name being derived from being on the equator.

HA! I was sober and I still didn't even THINK

 

[BoysForSeles]

I was going to say Ecuador but then reckoned more people would know Colombia.

 

[Indie]

[Soldi]

Alright SMARTY PANTS

 

[Alla]

Ecuador sounds like 'equator', which was why I assumed it would be the top answer

It's the Spanish word for equator

 

[Marina Salty]

I almost gave Ecuador as an answer last time too, just because the word equator was in the sentence.

 

[GNL]

Why am I so bad at this?

 

[Indie]

There are only FOUR CORRECT ANSWERS to the next question. I wonder how many answers we got...

 

[ButterTart]

It's the Spanish word for equator

That's so lazy! It's basically just eye spy, like Britain renaming itself Fatracists.

7. A chess piece that can move two or more squares at once, other than the Queen

Bishop (16) - Gangsta Nancy Lam, Ellie, Jacques, Ill Advised, .org, Halli, ButterTart, ManicKangaroo, Ag, Alex, Peekaboo, funky, Suedey, Suomi, dmlaw, VoR
Knight (14) - ZenGiraffe, Alla, Music, David 5000, Frozen, Beryl, jyxz, Tisch, Devil, Barnacle, COB, Dark Carnival, Rhythbarbican
Rook (5) - Queen of the Bay, BoysforSeles, big ron, Phoenix, Raining on Me
Pawn (3) - Marilyn, Rita, Kate
King (1) - Soldi

 

[funky]

@Soldi

 

[funky]

I can't tell you how LONG I debated between knight and bishop, and it barely made a SHRED of difference

 

[Soldi]

I GOOGLED IT!

 

[GNL]

Poor Soldi needs to level up his LOGIC SKILL

 

[dmlaw]

There are only FOUR CORRECT ANSWERS to the next question. I wonder how many answers we got...

Technically, King is also a correct answer as the question did not say that they could LEGALLY move two or more spaces at once.

 

[funky]

I can't tell you how LONG I debated between knight and bishop, and it barely made a SHRED of difference

(about 8 seconds)

 

[Tisch]

@Indie I have been EXPUNGED from your answers for that question and I'm upset

 

[Alla]

Oh Soldi

 

[funky]

I GOOGLED IT!

even search engines are lying to you beb

 

[ButterTart]

Bishops are mint. They've always been my favourite chess piece. Queen, castle, knight, pawn, king next in that order.

 

[GNL]

To be fair, you can move the King two squares if you're CASTLING.

 

[GNL]

Soldi vindicated.

 

[COB]

I thought more (aka any other) people would go for Sao Tome and Principe, it felt like it nearly had Moopy meme status at one point

 

[big ron]

Technically @Soldi is correct: castling

 

[funky]

Castling is not technically a move it's the rook doing the move, the king is being defended.

 

[GNL]

Moopy chess tournament forum NOW.

 

[Marilyn]

My flop era has re-started begun

 

[AlgoAlex]

To be fair, you can move the King two squares if you're CASTLING.

Poor @Soldi thought his chess knowledge gained from the Queen’s gambit would hand him a win

 

[big ron]

Castling is not technically a move it's the rook doing the move, the king is being defended.

The piece is still moving 2 or more squares though, which was the question.
