Title: Order ! Order !
Post by: Highlander on September 06, 2011, 19:53:33 PM
This may well be lead balloon time (again !) but I had this daft idea for a quiz (well, we haven't had one for a while).

When you use the search facility on here (yes there is one ;)) the results are shown, for example, as Page 1 to 156

If you entered the following into the search facility, in what order would they come - lowest to highest number of pages.

efes          
ex pat         
full English      
rip off         
scunner         
steak         
boat trip      
rumour         
exchange rate      
search

And thank you DianeT - two in the correct position and next to each other which is even better.

I should have said that the results surprised me :o

Just the one I'm afraid:(.

It is of couse totally unscientific. If you had included "breakfast" in the list rather than "full English" the position would hvae been totally different.

I think to get all in the right order may take us some time...

Given that, as scunner says, it is difficult if not impossible to get them all in the right order, the lowest and highest are

full English Page 1 to 6

scunner Page 1 to ???:D

Anyone having a go for here on doesn't get two points by the way.

Really confused now as I have two in the correct order & Keith has 1, yet none of ours match!!

Even tried a different search pattern and get the same results, this is going to drive me mad :D

Well done nichola = 3 correct
 
DianeT - brilliant. But can I just say the idea was to guess the order, not to use the search:(

Post by: Scunner on September 07, 2011, 09:05:32 AM
Bottom!! Even search is more popular than me!!!

Ah well, lucky in love etc

Whoops - sorry Mr H, obviously didn't read your initial post properly :-\ :-\
It was late or at least that's my excuse  ;)
I have now deleted my 2nd listing.

No problem DianeT. As scunner said, getting ten in order would be very difficult. So who wants to have ago at these 5. Again lowest first to highest last.

rice
thank you
directions
weather
beach

PS scunner you were the highest in the last list with Page 1 of 348:D

bewva - one correct.

lance - I have read your list and have to tell you that you would have got 5 out of 5 correct if it had been highest to lowest rather than lowest to highest :)
