A very minor case of serious brain damage

Last night, I started a new forum game called "No Vowels, Numbers or Gaps". The idea was that I would post the name of a character with all the vowels, numbers and gaps removed (for example, "JSTNBBR"), and the next person to post would tell me the original name (in this case, "Justin Bieber"), and then post a new one for the following person to guess, and so on. Once I'd started that game, the next thought I had was, "Wouldn't this make a good contest?". So, here we are. I'll post a list of 20 of these, all relating to a specific theme. It's up to you to guess what they are, and you win 5 posts for each correct answer. Same deal as for the picture quiz: each person is only allowed 8 guesses per day (to prevent one person from dominating); the contest closes in a week, or when they've all been guessed (whichever is sooner); and whoever gets the most right gets to host the next round, if they want to. So, here 20 sports teams (from various different sports, including a couple of fictitious ones!) with all the vowels, numbers and gaps removed. What are they? 1. MNCHSTRNTDFC (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 2. HNDRCKMTRSPRTS (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 3. RMPRNCRS 4. DTRTRDWNGS (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 5. FCBYRNMNCH (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 6. CHPGNSSRCNG 7. KRLSRHSTRM (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 8. RDBLLRCNG (Answered correctly by HeroofDarkness) 9. RLNDMGC (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 10. CHDLCNNS 11. FCLKMTVMSCW (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 12. KNSSCTYCHFS (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 13. SNFRNCSCRS (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 14. SCDRFRR 15. PHNXSNS (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 16. LSNGLSKNGS (Answered correctly by HeroofDarkness) 17. BRTSHNDRSHLNS 18. MTLLRGMGNTGRSK (Answered correctly by Jarkko) 19. PVKBDVNSKRVJR 20. HRSHLMHRRCNS Good luck! |

I'm going to be really mean, and class #2 as two guesses (one with a gap, and one without). Then, the one without the gap would be correct, and you have the other two right too. |

Maybe . It might be better to reduce the numbers, shorten the deadlines and increase the frequency. |

OK, but I don't want this topic turning into other people giving each other puzzles. That's what the game is for. Anne Robinson? Edited by CJ, Mar 28 2012, 10:41 AM.

Well, time is up! Here are the ones that nobody guessed: 3) Rampa Rancors (1st fictitious one; they're a Shockball team from Star Wars) 6) Chip Ganassi Racing (American racing team in several series) 10) Chudley Cannons (2nd fictitious one; they're a Quidditch team from Harry Potter) 14) Scuderia Ferrari (Italian Formula One team) 17) British and Irish Lions (Combined British/Irish rugby union team) 19) PVK Budvanska rivijera (Montenegrin water polo team) 20) Feel free to headdesk at me for this....but I honestly cannot remember what this one was. Hopefully, it will re-surface one day. Jarkko wins 65 posts (and gets to run the next one, on a subject of his choice), while HeroofDarkness wins 10 posts. Congrats to both of you! |
