Dont' stress HuffleDuck! If you got the answer, I'm sure that Paul saw it!

HuffleDuck said that you did! And Paul had given you the points for four right answers, so he must have found the answer! So congrats to Hufflepuff! (and Slytherin and Griffindor too! )

Poor Paul, he makes one typo and we all qn him (I think that I was the first... Sorry Paul.)
I know that I make at least an average of 5 typo's a post, so yeah...

Anyways, we will have a decision on which house is to hold the next quiz in a week! So hang tight people!

Excellent, in the lead once again.

I was hoping that it'd take us to get the first question right though, cuz you know... *slytherin*

On a stale note, question 2). I was hoping that its a trick question, fool everyone else and put us in the lead~

Harry learned that there were seven hundred ways of commiting a Quidditch foul and that all of them happened during a World Cup match in 1473.

Quidditch Through the Ages is more accurate though:

...all of them are known to have occured during the final of the first ever World Cup in 1473.

Now be honest =P
What did you guys submit?
(Decisions were final, no one's gonna change anything!)

[Holly Golightly]

Very interesting point there 2F2Type_R! The results are final, so any discussion won't change anything.

In all honesty though, we actually didn't have the final part in the answer! (whoops, missed that one!) Bummer though! it woud have been interesting to see what the results would have been like!

[Marcus Baker]

Wow, looking at the results, it looks like the other houses did really good! I thought this quiz was in our pocket, but it looks like you guys did really good. Good job.

[Gwared]

This is what our exact final submission was, so we missed that fact; but the question asked which events happened in such a year, not when did these events happen...thus the fact that it was in the final was irrelevent;

1) Demiguise, centaurs, merpeople, phoenix, snidget, sphinx and unicorn.

2) First ever Quidditch world cup game in which every one of the 700 possible fouls was commited! Also it was the first Quidditch world cup!

3) Index of his right.

4) Triwizard tournament in which the heads of the schools were injured because a cockatrice went on the rampage.

5) Rat's brains in a detention for Snape with Harry.

[Blueberry]

AH.. demiguise, and i posted in here too. 8)

Too bad, or we could have beaten ya. (ha good luck next time Ravenclaw)

[Paul]

Oops - sorry for the typo (corrected now). Yes, Hufflepuff did get question 5 correct.

[2F2Type_R]

hehehe
Interesting analysis Gwared. I would have thought of a different reply.
Good thing you mentioned it too, in case one of the houses answered:

-In 1473 the First Quidditch World Cup occured.
-In the same year, all 700 fouls were commited somewhere.

I hope you would give them full marks because:

the question asked which events happened in such a year, not when did these events happen...thus the fact that it was in the First Quidditch World Cup is irrelevent.

Its like writing philosophy in the field of Logic, many of the authors blundered because they got their premises and conclusions wrong.

e.g.

The argument:
"All human beings are mortal, all Greeks are mortal, therefore all Greeks are mortal" is a valid deductive argument.

But the argument:
"All human beings are mortal, all Greeks are mortal, therefore all Greeks are human beings" is invalid, even though the conclusion is true.

On that line of reasoning, one could argue that all dogs, which are also mortal, are human beings.

[2F2Type_R]

Some of you might get it

Others wonder why I strayed... Well, we're kinda learning about a few different branches of philosophy at uni--currently Logic

That was the first article I ever read, floored me...

Gwared's own bit Logic really reminded me of it.
I just had to have a go at him/her =P
(keeps me in form)

[2F2Type_R]

actually, Singer wrote: "All human beings are mortal, all Greeks are mortal, therefore all Greeks are human beings"

apologies to him
