Don’t think I will have a high score, simply wrote down what came to my mind immediately and one for the jokes. But let’s see. Very good set of questions though. |

Round 2 was a lot closer with only one question being rather obvious.
1. Name/Predict the winner of the UEFA Euro 2020.
France is the favourite for most experts and PCM.Daily members are either experts themselves or followed their advice. 11/13 went with that pick, only FreitasPCM seems to go for Italy, surely not an impossible vote neither while knockout basically speaks out what most think with his UEFA vote.
2. Name a sport that doesn`t involve a ball that is not cycling.
Only 4 sports got more than a single vote. Running and Athletics with 3 each and Hockey/Swimming with 2. Not sure if you meant to seperate Hockey and Ice-Hockey, but as it`s two different sports, I seperated them here, combined them obviously for winter olympics in Q5.
Spoiler | Running | 3 | | Athletics | 3 | | Hockey | 2 | | Swimming | 2 | | Formula 1 | 1 | | Ice Hockey | 1 | | Motorsports | 1 |
3. Name a cyclist who is totally linked to a specific single race, that is not Lance Armstrong (TdF Link).
This one was expected to be very open as there simply were lots of options. Still 2 riders got more than 1 votes. First Tom Boonen and Paris Roubaix, and Alejandro Valverde, likely with Fleche Wallone.
Then lots of other names, that all are kind of true but weren`t picked by any other.
Surprisingly no one took the pick I had in mind first with Richie Porte`s Tour Down Under dominance lately.
Spoiler | Tom Boonen | 3 | | Alejandro Valverde | 2 | | Roger de Vlaeminck | 1 | | Richard Virenque | 1 | | Mark Cavendish | 1 | | Enrico Gasparotto | 1 | | Tom Simpson | 1 | | Roberto Heras | 1 | | Mathew Hayman | 1 | | Gibo Simoni | 1 |
4. Name one of the all-time greats in any sport discipline from the 20th Century.
There are lots of possible answers here seeing the long time span and the amount of sports. Still Michael Jordan kind of came first with 4 votes, clearly he was one of the first sport stars, that weren`t only athletes but also a brand himself.
Eddy Merckx was an obvious pick for a cycling board while only Muhammed Ali got a double vote.
All others just got one vote, some such as Christiano Ronaldo and Tom Brady apparently struggled to get more due to being wrongly considered 20th Century athletes...in 21st Century they might indeed being picked a lot more.
Spoiler | Michael Jordan | 4 | | Eddy Merckx | 3 | | Muhammed Ali | 2 | | Christiano Ronaldo | 1 | | Pele | 1 | | Tom Brady | 1 | | Haile Gebrselassie | 1 |
5. Name any active discipline at the Winter Olympics.
Ice Hockey is the most popular vote for Winter Sports. Only Skiing (where to be fair a wide range of different sports could be combined) got 2 votes.
Spoiler | Ice Hockey | 5 | | Skiing | 2 | | Snowboarding | 1 | | Ski Jumping | 1 | | Speed Skating | 1 | | Curling | 1 | | Cross Country | 1 | | Alpine Ski | 1 |
Results
No round to really gap others at the top with Nemolito taking the win. Marcovdw and Ollfardh follow closely with only FreitasPCM and knockout being rather far behind.
Marcovdw and Nemolito share the lead at the moment, closely followed by cunego59. Several others still in near range while the 2nd hald slowly opens bigger gaps.

Damn, forgot to send my answers and wasn't awake in time for the reminder. Maybe I'll try 5 pointers for once now since I can't win.

Oh boy. 
PM sent. By the way, I think you need to check the scorings for the members who answered 'Ice Hockey' on the last question, only 1 point was given to them despite there having been 5 answers.  |

Will do. Thanks!
Edit: And fixed now. The formulas failed there due to Q2 and Q5 both having Ice Hockey as answers.

Sorry Abhi for being too specific in Q2, otherwise we could have joined up there
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

1. Name a typical country for a beach vacation.
Always tricky when there are completely different regulars for Europeans and US members. Some tried to find out what others would pick and in the end the Europeans got most but also couldn`t go for one big Nation. Spain with 4 votes and Greece with 2 votes show where Europeans are heading the most. Barbados, Bahamas and USA likely the US holiday targets while Maledives could have been a good option for anyone but also just got a single vote.
Spoiler | Spain | 4 | | Greece | 2 | | Barbados | 1 | | Bahamas | 1 | | USA | 1 | | Maledives | 1 |
2. Name something you always have with you on vacation.
In todays time, the phone easily is something you barely have off your hands and neither in your vacation. Though more holiday related the passport also got a strong 3 votes. The other options weren`t wrong neither but couldn`t get multiple votes.
Spoiler | Phone | 3 | | Passport | 3 | | Booze | 1 | | Underwear | 1 | | Suitcase | 1 | | Camera | 1 |
3. Name something you would see on vacation in Europe.
The most stupid but also correct answer got the maximum points. What to do in Europe? - Europeans of course. Only the Eiffel Tower (probably in especially for US members, the most European logo) got 2 votes.
Spoiler | Europeans | 3 | | Eiffel Tower | 2 | | Bicycles | 1 | | Colosseum | 1 | | Castles | 1 | | Tourists | 1 | | Museums | 1 |
4. Name a type of inner city transport.
The Bus is the most picked inner city transport here followed by the Subway. Only TMM is going for the enviromental option by bike while bbl got cheated a bit as I didn`t combine train with subway here as there are still more "train" options than the pure subway.
5. Name a typical vacation activity.
Most people like to go swimming in your vacation. Sightseeing for the city holidays got 2 while the other picks were only single votes.
Spoiler | Swimming | 5 | | Sightseeing | 2 | | Hiking | 1 | | Eating Out | 1 | | Sleeping | 1 |
Results
cunego59 got closest to maximum points, he only didn´t get the bus correct but didn`s miss out on any multiple option.
valverde and Marcovdw came closest while TMM avoided a 5 pointer with the popular swimming answer.
| cunego59 | 45 | 20 | 18 | 83 | | Marcovdw | 44 | 23 | 14 | 81 | | AbhishekLFC | 43 | 19 | 13 | 75 | | TheManxMissile | 44 | 18 | 9 | 71 | | kandesbunzler26 | 36 | 20 | 13 | 69 | | Nemolito | 43 | 24 | - | 67 | | FreitasPCM | 43 | 12 | 12 | 67 | | valverde321 | 31 | 19 | 16 | 66 | | df_Trek | 36 | 18 | 12 | 66 | | jandal7 | 45 | 18 | - | 63 | | baseballlover312 | 44 | - | 13 | 57 | | jseadog1 | 19 | 20 | 12 | 51 | | Ollfardh | 18 | 23 | - | 41 | | knockout | - | 7 | - | 7 |
This also moves cunego59 into the lead but very closely followed by Marcovdw. Nempolito missing the round and dropping back.

This is a tough round. Most answers I'm very confident in (though mostly in getting 1 point).

1. Name a non-sport PC/console game series.
Three options in total and just df_Trek missed to hit the valuable ones. Call of Duty and GTA are popular game series and won with 5 and 4 picks over Super Mario. No love for Final Fantasy or Battlefield neither and also nothing for games such as Warcraft/Starcraft/Diablo.
Spoiler | Call of Duty | 5 | | GTA | 4 | | Super Mario Bros | 1 |
2. Name a board game.
Just 2 different board games. With Chess and Monopoly probably the most popular.
3. Name a game based on a movie/TV series.
Several movies/series later became video games. The most popular is Star Wars, which has plenty of games already. Only Spider Man with 2 votes while all others are single picks.
Spoiler | Star Wars | 4 | | Spider Man | 2 | | Telltale | 1 | | Simpsons | 1 | | James Bond | 1 | | Dragon Ball | 1 |
4. Name a charakter from any Final Fantasy game.
Fair enough, this is rather specific as not all of you have ever played one game. Going 10-20 years back though I liked to play most of the FF games plus there are some movies already and one charaker really stands out in the FF universe.
Cloud, main character of FF 7 with his yellow, spiky hair got 6 votes. Only Cid with 2, which is obvious, seeing his character (or at least name) was in most/all games. Tifa was a pick, which likely shows, Freitas also played the game as it`s more a side character while none was a solid pick from someone who never played but nothing that gives you points.
5. Name a 80`s/90`s Jump'n'Run game, which is not a Super Mario game.
In the 80`s/90`s the Sega Megadrive was pretty popular with Nintendo or later Playstation slowly taking over. Sonic as one of the most popular Sega game got the mostvotes as well as very typical JumpnRun game. Donkey Kong as mainly Game Boy game as well got some votes while Crash Bandicot was likely a bit later and couldn`t stand out while Boulder Dash (a game I actually also played almost 25 years ago) is very cool but not a real JumpnRun, which made it hard to score.
Spoiler | Sonic | 5 | | Donkey Kong | 3 | | Crash Bandicot | 1 | | Boulder Dash | 1 |
Results
bbl312 and AbhishekLFC got the best option in all 5 questions and score big. Only Cunego following close by missing Monopoly only.
cunego59 remains in the lead having extended his gap to Marco but lost a bit to Abhishek. Those 3 are the main favourites to win the series with one more round to go.
