To mark our 100 membership achievement, I thought I would shove up a photo of UCET members "Past & Present"
For 10 points each;
1) Can you name the faces in the photograph below (everyone is or was a UCET member) - 1 point per person?
2) Can you name the person who is just off to the right ?
3) The chappie sat down with his thumbs up is looking at someone or something - who or what is it ?
4) Where are we ?
5) Was the photo taken before or after the trip ?
Good Luck!
I definitely know everyone in the photo so will leave it to everyone else.good luck

He won't thank you for that lol :kiss:
I recognise 7 of the people but I don't recognise the ear.
I also think I know where it was taken
Clearly it was taken before the trip
Les has correctly answered one of the questions (it was taken before the trip).

For 10 possible points (split into 5 and 5).... what is the significance of these numbers;
Are they an OS grid without the letters (SH853140)?
Possibly the slate quarry at Minllyn
Well thought of.
[quote="Stevekennedy" post=42664]Well thought of.[/quote]
But I don't understand the 5 and 5 split of the points
It implies two answers...
Correct Les.
I would have offered 5 points for the answer "Grid Ref of a mine" and another 5 points if you actually named it.
You managed both ... so, 10 points ...

Nest Question ...
1) What, according to an Aberystwyth Professor, is causing the colouration of this speolotherm? (10 points)
2) Where, geographically, is the phenomenon? ((10 points)
3) Name the mine? (10 points)
4) What was mined here? (5 points)
Salt? The Great Orme? Copper?
Mike should know the answer as it's his hand
Sorry, not salt, copper, the Great Orme or Mike's hand :p
Sure as hell looks like my hand :huh: : :huh: huh:
Interesting.
The Trip was April 10th 2010
JohnO, Weston and myself are in the photos - you aren't in any of them (except the hand?)
Anyway .....
Not Salt
Not Copper
Not the Great Orme
:whistle:
Don't know what causing the formation.
It's a gold mine, clogau mine? Dolgellau gold belt mid wales
Gwynffynedd
Dolgellau
Manganes
Welsh Gold
The mauve colour is likely to be manganese so I reckon Mike has that
It's Clogau Gold Mine (10 points Stones)
I was looking for "Dolgellau Gold Belt" (10 Point Stones)
It's a Gold Mine (5 Points Stones)
... He said all that first :whistle:
Mike can have 5 points since I do think it's his hand (even though I never asked)
It isn't manganese (I worded the question very carefully because I expected our resident expert may have a different opinion) ... it is apparently caused by small cuboids of cobalt specific to that area of the belt (no sense challenging me, you need to challenge the University of Aberystwyth)

Next Question;

2) What is the area known as? (1o points if very specific, 5 points for locale)
3) What year were the pictures taken? (no looking on the knowledge bank!) One guess each for 10 points

Not going to challenge you, the professor is bound to be right (assuming they have sampled and looked at it under a scanning electron microscope or put it in a mass spectrometer...) Minerals have many different forms and colours depending on a lot of factors, which is why I seldom say something is, and instead use the word probably...
It is rare that you can be absolutely definitive without getting down to the atomic level
Iron ?
Llyn peninsular
1999
So, it's along the Ll?n Peninsula and principally near Porth Ysgo
Down that way it is likely to be Manganese
It is pobably the Nant-Gadwen Manganese Mine
no idea what year though...
Les,
You need to imbue some chemicals to calm your brain down - you are spot on (Nant Manganese Mine on the Llyn)
So, points;
5 points - Steve K for getting the Llyn first
10 Points - Les W for getting the specific name
10 Points - Les W for identifying Manganese
I'm having 5 points for the year because there is no point leaving the question open for a "guess" (it was 2013) and I obviously knew the answer.

What happened to the leader board? Stones had 50 points in the last one and now he isn't listed at all...
Fixed it, sadly I have been imbibing chemicals and my brain calmed too much :unsure:
Next Question;
1) Where are these two lids? (they are close to each other) - what's the area called? (10 points)
2) What was being mined down there? (5 points)
3) Who is on the ladder? (5 points)
4) What year was the photo taken? One guess each - 10 points
Esclusham Mountain, Minera
Lead was the mineral mined
Is that you on the ladder Ian?
2013 (no idea, just a guess...
Pool park and new shaft.mining lead ,Helen adams on the ladder
2012
How could you have possibly known all that?
So,
10 Points to Les W for the area
10 Points to Mike L for the area (much more specific)
5 Points to Les W for "lead"
5 Points to Les W for "Ian on the ladder"
10 Points to Mike L for the year
It's ridiculous all that was fathomed so quickly.

Next Question is harder because I need to breathe :pinch: :pinch: :pinch:
Also, I did intend to end the quiz when someone reached 100 (to mark our 100 members) but Les is getting dangerously close so I will have to ask prejudicial questions :whistle:
1) Can you name each face in the pictures (1 point each)?
2) Which trip had we all just returned from? (5 points)
3) What year was the trip? (10 points - one guess each)
4) Who, in the pictures, was the only person who DIDN'T come on the trip? (5 points, one guess each)
5) Who, in the pictures, was the only person never to join UCET? (5 points, one guess each)
(I am not including background people like the bloke stood at the bar with his back to the camera)
First picture I know Tim Watts and is that Marcelle Oboidormant?
Second picture Mike Leahy and Doug and Tim Watts I reckon
Third picture Vikki and Mike Leahy
Photos taken in the Royal Oak at Halkyn so I am going to guess the trip was Crockfords...
I'm going to guess that Marcelle didn't go on the trip
No idea who didn't join UCET though as I don't know who the others are
[quote="LesW" post=42705]

I did say the question would be prejudicial to you :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
5 points for five correct names so far .... I will update the leaderboard when more answers are in
Royal Oak is wrong and the trip is wrong and the person who didn't go is wrong - nice try though ;)
So is it only necessary to name each person once or in each picture?
[quote="LesW" post=42707]So is it only necessary to name each person once or in each picture?[/quote]
Yes, it isn't a trick question for trick points (might deduct a point for bad spelling though) :pinch:

So should I get Mikes name right? It's Leahy but I always get it wrong...
And it's not the Oak it's the Britainna (The Oak is in Hendre)...
Given the club is drinking at the Brit I am going to guess 2012 for the date
and I'm sure I'm wrong but is that Joel Colk in the middle photo?
So,
Les Has Five names right (Mike L, Vikki, Doug, Tim, Marcelle) and he has the date right (2012) â€" total 15 points.

Still left;
1) Can you name each face in the pictures (1 point each)? (4 left)
2) Which trip had we all just returned from? (5 points)
3) What year was the trip? 2012 (Les W)

5) Who, in the pictures, was the only person never to join UCET? (5 points, one guess each)
(I am not including background people like the bloke stood at the bar with his back to the camera)
So carefully reading the above, you put a limit on guesses for who wasn't on the trip and who wasn't a UCET member, but you haven't limited what trip it was so I will guess at the Spar Mine
lol
Are you going to keep guessing until you get the right answer, exceed 100 points and proclaim yourself the winner?
You are lost in electricity, you should go to Murder Mystery Weekends, you would solve them all :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Not Spar Mine :whistle:
I'm assuming it is a Thursday night so the possible trip options are limited. The fact that everybody is pretty clean rules out Hesp Alyn, Nadolig, Poachers, Maeshafn, etc, so very few places left to chose from that are short enough or near enough for an evening trip and clean enough that nobody has muddy faces.
Or my assumptions are incorrect...
Your assumptions are all correct ;)
How about the Halkyn Boat Level...
Nope :huh:
Well it's no point in me going through the list until I get there...
Unless it's somewhere like Fish Mine...
Not Fish Mine ....

I was fixing my van, but I cannot find my long reach 13mm socket nor my 1/2 inch to 3/8 drive adaptor so I am forced to stop until I find them or fold and buy new ones (which I really don't want to do as I know I have them somewhere) either way I can't progress now, and it's just about to get dark anyway, so all I have to do now is guess caving trips in North Wales...
Were you SRTing in Pepe's Shaft?
I don't buy the story of lost sockets lol
Not Pepe's shaft :dry:
[quote="Ian" post=42724]I don't buy the story of lost sockets lol

Is that because it's the 13mm and not the infamous 10mm that is MIA
Well, I'm not going to guess any more on this one so it looks like you need to run another round... :P

[quote="Stevekennedy" post=42745]Is that shaft

Steve,
The lid was unlocked when we were there but it did have a lock and I think we were lucky, It was a bit fooked and I would expect it will have been replaced, Worth a look but it was a fair old wander ….
Les,
I didn’t think you could possibly guess Glen (10 points) and I thought you would get MURF easy at the bottom of Garlands Pot (you said Mike) so that would have only been 1 point denying you a win.
I also thought you would still be guessing North Wales â€" it is Giants so that is another 5 points.
It wasn’t 2014, it was the 17th March 2007 â€" I have retained a fibre of credibility!
You should probably move to North Wales, you know more about it than we do :p

I am fairly sure it's an oddball in the same way a rugby ball is called a ball and it clearly isn't a "ball".
