I once did a music round about foreign language songs that have got to number one in the U.K. singles charts, of which there have been five. I said I'd read the English translations of the lyrics and they had to give me the name of the song. I'm not ashamed to admit that the whole round was basically a vehicle for getting away with reading the lyrics to Je t'aime to everyone.
Pub Quiz!

- Start date
Oh, please do ?
22 v 20 maybee
15 reds split 7/8
27 points for colours 14/13
14 + 8 and 13 + 7 22/20
but we will be miles off lol, maybee 0-0 with the 3 missed ball rule.
Spurs play each of the other teams - 4 games. Chelsea play everyone bar Spurs, who they've already played - 3 games. Arsenal play their two games, then West Ham play Palace. Ten games. Then everyone plays the other way.
Or in combinatorics it's 5P2, which is 5!/(5-2)! = 5*4*3!/3! = 5*4 = 20.
Googling turned up this cobblers:
some berk said:
So I'm a hypothetical world you pot all reds in one shot but also accidentally pot the white. Whoops.
Further on in the same thread people mention the three misses rule, so it's 0-0.
What if you, theoretically, potted all 15 balls off the break but fouled..
I should read all the replies first eh..
Not 0-0, because the 3 fouls would equate to 4 points each

That's a good question; in the sense that people can't google the answer very easily or quickly. As Google has become a bit of a problem in pub quiz's nowadays...
(Maybe not a good question in regards to the impossible to answer bit though

Yeah, questions that really make people think and are google-proof are tricky.
Here's one that surprised me: how many individual islands are there in the UK?
Two for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, one for the Isle of Wight, then probably an assload around the Hebrides and so on.
I don't remember the exact figure but it was close to 9,000!
