Question of the day

[midlifecrisis]

I'd say
Manny
Oscar
Tommy
Bob.
Based on guessing the number of different weights they boxed at.

....Based on guessing the number of different weights they boxed at.

Oh, that's a good strategy. I just re-ordered them randomly.

 

[Navcorr]

Yet you've managed to get every position wrong. As has Midlifecrisis but who's suggestion is along the right lines. He may well be correct but not what I'm looking for and doesn't help with their connection.

Great! So we are homing in on the answer!

The data so far:



I love these logic puzzles.

Your logic is correct insofar as 4 positions - but you need more than 4.
There are a number of clues previously - this may help, then again, maybe not:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

I could randomly guess based on mark's spreadsheet but I think the order is dictated by wins...

The order is not based on wins as such and the spreadsheet is based on an invalid assumption, although, you now know at least one boxer appears at least twice.

 

[Wanderer]

This is harder than differential equations......

 

[Navcorr]

Okay, reasonable guesses accepted based on this order, and for three points only, the connection is what these boxers achieved 1st.

1. Bob Fitzsimmons
2. Tommy Hearns
3. Tommy Hearns
4. Oscar De La Hoya
5. Manny Pacquiao
6. Manny Pacquiao

 

[Navcorr]

Another clue? Bob Fitzsimmons is the lightest heavyweight world champion on record.

 

[Navcorr]

Final clue - Fitzsimmons also won world titles at middleweight and light-heavyweight.

 

[Navcorr]

Answer - the first boxers to win world titles at multiple different weights.

Fitzsimmons 1st to win at 3
Hearns 1st to win at 4 & 5
De La Hoya 1st to win at 6
Pacquiao 1st to win at 7 & 8 (quite incredible)

Midlifecrisis was closest.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Ok, quick question.
During the launch of Apollo 11. Which person recorded a heart rate of 88?
For a bonus, The other two were 110 & 99. Which was which.

 

[Oneball]

Well I’ve got a 1 in 3 chance so I’ll go Micheal Collins.

 

[Wanderer]

Well I’ve got a 1 in 3 chance so I’ll go Micheal Collins.

I'll go for Michael Collins which is the correct spelling

 

[midlifecrisis]

Neither! Two to go..

 

[daverichardson]

Mrs Michael Collins

 

[midlifecrisis]

Mrs Michael Collins

FFS!

Any takers on this simple question 50-50 chance of winning...

I'm going to say Neil Armstrong as he was famously cool about everything, and Buzz has been known to get a bit excitable.
