Title: Movie Quiz
Post by: DJ Doena on June 23, 2008, 09:50:39 AM
I have 80 pictures for you.

I will post 5 every day (a batch). For every correct movie you'll get 2 points. If you guess a complete batch correctly, you'll get another point.

If you guess wrong on a movie you get another guess which will earn you 1 point if correct.

If you're the only one that guessed a movie correctly you'll get another point.

You can guess any movie in any batch until the game's over which will be 5 days after I've posted the last batch. There are 16 batches containing 80 movies.

That means without outside influence you can earn 80 * 2 + 16 = 176 points with a theoretical maximum of 80 * 3 + 16 = 256 points.

All guesses via PM

Rules Addendum:

On the day after the last batch I will give an additional hint on every movie that has not been guessed correctly by anyone. After the hint you can earn 1 point for guessing correctly. That excludes the 16th ("P") batch. In the unlikely event that a "P" movie remains open, I will post the hints for that on Sunday, July 13th. The game ends Monday, July 14th 1:30pm CEST - 3 weeks after it has begun.

Currently you are in the lead with 39 points, since you have been the only one to guess batch 4 so far, which earned you 16 points, of which 11 are for certain. :)

PS: I've updated the score chart (http://home.arcor.de/yajirobi/upload/quiz/quiz.htm). Enjoy it as long as it lasts.

As you will soon find out if you don't already know I had to restore last night backup which was taken before you posted batch #6.

I'm reposting it for you.

I should have mentioned that.  I had to restore the entire database so posts, PM's, changes to profiles and enything else that had been done is lost.

That's only the 2nd time in my life I make a mistake on a system which I can't recover completely.  The first one was at work a few years ago and was far worst.  I had inadvertently deleted the entire invoicing history  :bag:

:hysterical:

I've only lost my home system entirely, yet to have a similar disaster at work. I was using a tape backup, which is normally the most reliable method, but I'd been rather silly and not tested the restore. The write head was fine... the read, not so much. :bag:

A colleague of mine once had a nasty experience though. He took the RAID drives out of a clients server and put them back in the wrong order. Backups or no backups, it took him two full days to get the system up and running and this was a cash and carry.  :o

Actually it isn't if you know what to ask Google.

For example: If I wanted to find the movie to this picture: http://www.siteoffline.com/images/a_knights_tale.jpg

And if I had no idea what that movie would be, I would go with what I see: movie blond knight (http://images.google.de/images?um=1&hl=de&q=movie+blond+knight&btnG=Bilder-Suche)

All in good time...

On the day after the last batch I will give an additional hint on every movie that has not been guessed correctly by anyone. After the hint you can earn 1 point for guessing correctly. That excludes the 16th ("P") batch. In the unlikely event that a "P" movie remains open, I will post the hints for that on Sunday, July 13th. The game ends Monday, July 14th 1:30pm CEST - 3 weeks after it has begun.

Let me put it this way: You have your own free will, if you decide to share your guesses via email, there's no way I could prevent that, except for not confirming your guesses anymore.

But you have to decide, how much fun you want to take out of the game.

I think we are all playing DJ and we wouldn't trade guesses, but adding to the enjoyment of the game with a bit of banter. :yu:

Well. That was uncalled for. I'll have you know, I don't have any friends! HA!  ??? Hang on...

That isn't true, but certainly a lack of recent girlfriends possibly accounts for increased geek-ness...  :laugh:

Regarding m02 I am quite certain that I chose the right hood.

You really think you'll recognize none of the "O" images...? I don't think so.

Or did you fail to see that you have 3 points lead against someone who has completed a-o while you have only done a-n so far?

Don't be so modest you are in a strong lead here!

A lot of patience and good searching skills on internet.  Some of them were pretty hard, especially one of the anime ones.  I found a list of all (or so they say) anime movies or movies with animated sequence in them.  I searched the titles one at time for pictures until I found one with the same character.

It's either gonna be a tie or he'll win then because there's nothing more I can do.  I'm giving up on the 3 that I'm missing, I just don't know where to look or what to look for.

The latest scoresheet has the answers, Achim. And I am kicking myself most violently for missing Equilibrium. Worse, in a classic case of the only stupid answer being no answer at all, I did think of Equilibrium, but couldn't place the scene or find that screenshot. I thought I must be wrong, so ignored it!  :bag:

The other three I missed though, no way at all on Earth was I ever going to catch them. I did decide that the kid with the gargoyle must be a medieval fantasy sort or thing, but would never have got it.

Well done on a great quiz, well hosted, Karsten! :clapcheer:

I have seen maybe 5 minutes of Tampopo... I would have thought the movie where the picture was from would be much older than than.

I only recognized Matthew on second look; I have seen the movie (medieval action flick by Richard Donner) twice though, which possibly helped.


Thanks again for creating this great quiz for us!


I will have to look at the answers for those few I didn't get in the next few days, so don't take the answer sheet down quite yet...
