maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted July 24, 2014 I think a much better exercise would be to have thread races. Five themed threads are created and the first to reach the target wins. There would be rules that each entry is only allowed to contain one name and no member can make subsequent posts in the same thread. If anyone is bored enough to try this I have suggested what five themes might look like 100 People who have had a UK number 1 hit single 100 Oscar winners 100 Nobel Prize Winners 100 Pre 20th Century British Writers 100 people who died before the age of 50 The same person could of course appear in more than one thread although I can't think of any Nobel prize winner who have had a No. 1 hit single. Enjoy #1 Records (a few unlikely scorers of such) 001 - Jim Diamond 002 - Nicole 003 - Louis Armstrong 004 - George Harrison 005 - Clive Dunn 006 - Al Martino 007 - Ken Dodd 008 - Michelle McManus 009 - Benny Hill 010 - Rolf Harris 011 - Tina Charles 012 - Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin 013 - Zagar and Evans 014 - Billy Connolly 015 - David Sneddon 016- Blue Cantrell feat Sean Paul 017- R Kelly 018- Gareth Gates 019- Alma Cogan 020- Jimi Hendrix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,617 Posted March 28, 2016 999,980 Peter Maxwell Davis 999,981 Helmut Schmidt We got to a million and now we're counting down to one; you're counting up. What goes up must come down. Back to zero!!! 999 999. Turi Satana 999 998. Koo-Koo the Bird Girl 999 997. Nils Dacke 999 996. Daniel K. Ludwig There were enough problems counting normally - counting backwards is, I fear, a task beyond (some of) us. Like I said... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
