Am I the only one who found this round harder then the last?
And I think those that put just Ronaldo when they meant Cristiano Ronaldo had forgotten about the Brazilian one.
Yeah, but Ronaldo would have been a good answer,too and how do you know who of them really meant CR7. So I don t want to change that... (The Hobbit would not be glad about this

I am with stupid - Round 2
1. Name a famous director.
This question turns out to be an important one as everyone who mentioned Steven Spielberg got 4 points. James Cameron got at least two mentions while every other one got only one.
Spoiler Alfred Hitchcock
Martin Campbell
JJ Abrams
Kenneth Brannagh
Morgan Spurlock
2. Name a horror movie.
Only two movies were mentioned twice: Saw and A Nightmare on Elm Street. The later one destroys SSJ2Luigi's five-point-round. FreitasPCM was scared by One Direction but he is alone with his fear.
Spoiler Cube
Night of the Living Dead
One Direction: This is Us
Paranormal Activity
Psycho
The Exorcist
The Nightmare before Christmas
3. Name a movie that was released in 90s.
Titanic was not only the only movie mentioned more than twice but also scored as many as 5 points for every one who named them.
Spoiler Cube
From Dusk till Dawn
GoldenEye
Jurassic Park
Pulp Fiction
The Shawshank Redemption
4. Name a movie that has more than 3 sequels.
Rocky and Star Wars are the only films mentioned twice.
Spoiler Friday the 13th
Harry Potter
Ice Age
pirates of the caribbean
Resident Evil
Saw
The Bourne
5. Name a sportsman who appeared in a movie.
Only sportsman named twice is former boxing champ Mike Tyson.
Spoiler Babe Ruth
Dale Earnhardt Jr
Alain Prost
Patrick Dempsey
Ben Roethlisberger
David Beckham
Muhammad Ali
Andre the Giant
Lance Armstrong
This rounds winner is Dippofix with a perfect round ahead of welker3257 and Marcovdw. 3 participants scored a 5pt-round including TheManxMissile, FreitasPCM, and The Hobbit but I am not sure if everyone of them wanted this result (The Hobbit? ).
Marcovdw takes the overall lead. Despite of two very low scoring he has already 6 points on Dippofix who is second. Can he defend his lead in the next rounds?

I Am With Stupid - Round 3
1. Name a retired cyclist that won TdF one time.
2008 TdF winner Carlos Sastre was the most given answer with 4 mentions. Welker3257 has obviously some insider information as he is the only one who knows named 2013 winner Chris Froome. Well, he was not really the only one as Marcovdw named him, too. Later he realized that he was "obviously drunk" and changed his answer to Joop Zoetemelk. Well done!
Spoiler Marco Pantani
Stephen Roche
Leon Scieur
2. Name a multiple Maillot Vert winner.
Most people went with 2012&2013 winner Peter Sagan. He got a total of 7 mentions. Marcovdw was the only one to name record winner Erik Zabel.
3. Name someone who won a stage in 2013.
Marcel Kittel and Chris Froome were the most succesful participants of the Tour in 2013 with together 7 stage wins. Thus, they were mentioned the most.
Spoiler Peter Sagan
Rui Costa
Tony Martin
4. Name a Colombian cyclist that won a TdF stage (not Quintana).
The 9 of you named 5 different cyclists with Luis Herrara(3), Santiago Botero(2) and Mauricio Soler(2) being named at least twice.
Spoiler Ezequil Mosquera
Oliverio Rincon
5. Name a French winner of Tour de France (GC).
If you wanted to have a shot at the round win you had to mention French cycling legend Bernhard Hinault as this was worth 7 points. If you did not named him you either went successfully for the 5pts or you named Laurent Fignon.
mvhoogdalen scores a perfect round and wins with the smallest possible margin ahead of sieve. All in all, it was a very close round with the top 6 all within 5 pt to the top. Only Marcovdw and sammyt93 lose some more points to the top...
This round causes Marcovdw to lose his lead. New overall leader is daily winner mvhoogdalem who leads with 3 points over Marcovdw and Dippofix. Only other participant to stay near the top trio is welker3257.
New Questions:
Round 4:
Cycling
1. Name a rider who won Monument in 2013.
2. Name other UCI World Tour classic (no Monument).
3. Name a next year "neo-pro".
4. Name an African cyclist.
5. Name a PCT team which didn't participate in any GT (this year).
EDIT: Deadline will be Saturday 20:00 GMT.
I have sent PMs to all participants of the last few rounds to increase the participation... I hope this helps
