Perfect timing I hope...
Been busy (like really busy) recently so haven't had time to participate, I'll give it a go though (questions a bit too tempting to avoid a 5 pointer though  )

I am with stupid - Round 4
Spoiler I have to say that I made a little mistake: I forgot to include mvhoogdalem in my little texts. Although it is not that much work I am just too lazy to redo them now. I thought it would be better to give you now the scores than to let you wait another day just that those texts are correct. The screens should be correct.
1. Name a rider who won Monument in 2013.
Top answer was the one and only Spartacus who won two of this year's Monuments. Purito was named three times while Ciolek and Dan Martin were named once. SSJ2Luigi is slightly surprised that nobody else named Peter Sagan although he won the most important Monument, the GP de Montreal.
2. Name other UCI World Tour classic (no Monument).
The Amstel Gold Race is the most named World Tour classic giving you 4 points. Also, Gent Wevelgem was named twice. As you could have known Paris-Roubaix was replaced by GP de Montreal so sieve was right that it is no Monument anymore.
Spoiler Fleche Wallone
Quebec
GP Ouest
San Sebastian
3. Name a next year "neo-pro".
Youngster Caleb Ewan is not only one of the biggest talents but he is also one of the most known (3 votes). Also named were Junior World champion Matej Mohoric, the Yates brothers, or the current winner of the UCI Europe tour, Riccardo Zoidl.
Spoiler Zabel
Poljanski
Chris Michaels
4. Name an African cyclist.
The South African who could wear the yellow jersey in this Tour de France got the most votes(3).
Spoiler 2x Reinhardt Janse van Rensburg
2x Teklahaimanot
Froome
Robert Hunter
Tewelde
Johann Van Zyl
5. Name a PCT team which didn't participate in any GT (this year).Despite of having some decent stage racer like Löfkvist or Larsson IAM has not raced a GT this year. 4 of you named them and thus, got two points more than those, who chosed either MTN or Novo Nordisk.
Spoiler Accent Jobs
Bretagne
RusVelo
Selwink and overall leader mvhoogdelem split this round.
Before this round mvhoogdalem was in front of Marcovdw. This keeps the same. Dippofix stays in third position but it will be different for him to change this. It would be cool to see where Selwink would have been if he had not missed round 2.

1. Name a school subject.
Maths is obviously the most common answer here.(7) It beats everyother answer by miles. English, Hometime, Government, Hospitality and Food & Nutrition were named, too. (Each Once)
2. Name a fruit.
Without of a surprise the apple is named the mose(5). A little surprise is that the banana (3) brought you only one point more than the Grapefruit. Only one member each answered the world famous Carambola or Guava.
3. Name a british car manufacturer.
We have some Bond fans out here. I don't mean the car manufacturer who also was named once but James Bond's most famous car which was mentioned 5 times. Jaguar was also mentioned three times.
4. Name an animal that live in Africa.
Most of you named the big and strong animals like the Lion (5), Elephant(2) or the Giraffe (2). Others went with some rather unknown animals like the Honey Badger, the Pangolin or a Palearctic Viper
5. Name something that you can eat in fast food restaurant.
If you did not got the full amount of 8 points then you were either (sometimes successfully) going for a five pointer or you were born in Middle Earth.
This Round had a lot of dominant answers in it and only Dippofix got all of them. Selwink again scores high by becoming runner-up.
Before this round mvhoogdalem was leading this game. He did not submitted his answers so the question is:
Can marcovdw defend his advantage against dippofix?
Spoiler 
No. Dippofix get enough points to equal the amount of marcovdw's points. Therefore, we have a tie at the top. Congratulations to both of them. I also want to highlight selwink who gets third despite of missing one round.
(And as I know it interests some of you: Noone managed to get the perfect 25-pointer.)

Would like to point out my 27ptr was only 1 over the actual minimum score of 26 possible given the questions posed. I'd say that was damn impressive considering i only ever give correct answers.

We could share. You can do the questions and I do the evaluation, or the other way around.
