I think that was actually pretty hard. I think because it was asked I kinda thought it would be no, trying to catch me out..

By saying no, I wasn't suggesting it was odd btw, just that it was an exception.. Please don't push for more days

How many days did the British year 1752 have?

No clue. 350 ??????

They removed 11 days, so the answer is 355.

I’ll admit that even if you knew it was 11 days, you might have still ignored it being a leap year (:

I don't think I had a chance with that one. It's looking like I might end up being denied for a long time!

Last day of denial is already the 9th.

Any chance we can agree on reductions in the future or even being able to earn orgasms...

The first few days are always the hardest!

Since I'm going to be about a bit tonight, I'll do a (un)happy hour. Within the next hour you can ask 2 questions instead of just the one, each question carrying 1 day of denial for answering incorrectly.

Anyone who has posted already today is eligible to post again.

My current last day of denial is the 9th.

So I only watch four British tv shows (once every few months), which is what actually lead me to look up the Lake District months if not years ago — it was mentioned more as a remark on the side than being a focus point. It’sa pretty simplistic and uninspired name and I honestly didn’t expect it to be an actual location, but you’ve mentioned it earlier so...

One curious bit of information is that most lakes in the Lake District don’t have “lake” in the name. But how many *are* called lake?

Edit/ I’ll also offer a one day reduction for every such lake you can name.

Well, I'm screwed! I really don't have much of a clue if I'm honest. And I don't think I could name one. I guess it doesn't help living almost as far as you can get away from in while still being in England (although if you know that's not much of an excuse). I'll take a shot with Lake Windsor, because who doesn't love the Queen.

In terms of the number that are called Lake... I'll guess quite low at 4. Fingers Crossed!

[knorke]

Unfortunately even your low number is too high there’s only a single one, making Lake District a rather odd name for the place. No bonus points either, sadly.

Was it mean of me to offer one day off per lake if there is only one? Probably!

One British tv show I watched quite a bit of is QI. I’d call that unfortunate... I already know the question I’ll ask tomorrow, and it’ll be loads easier

I don't think I had much chance of getting Lake Bassenthwaite. But I'm sure I will remember that in the future now.

You could say mean, I'd say evil!

With a few reduction days, maybe? Is it bad that I'm looking forward to it?

It's almost like you knew I've never really watched Star Trek. I'll go with the lucky number 8.

I just looked it up to update denial days and found 2 answers. One was 3 and the other was actually 8! I'm not sure which one is actually right but if I've guessed that right that's amazing.

My last day of denial is currently the 10th of June, dependent on the correct answer for the Star Trek question.

Today’s easy question: How many colors are in the official flag of Northern Ireland?

An easy one? Are you sure?

I genuinely think I'm getting this wrong! Well, there's red and white. This bit that's throwing me is the crest in the middle where I think there's an extra colour but it's really small. I have a feeling it may have yellow in it, but that could be a fabrication. Not sure if there's more than 3 though.

I'll go with 3!
