[ToraToraTora]

well haven't had one for a while have we....

MC this time:

Of the 21 indian competitors at the 1928 Olympics, 14 made up a squad that won gold in what sport?

A: Football  B: Rowing  C:Hockey

answer A 🤣

[wolf63]

I ammuse that A is not the answer.

[wolf63]

I assume that A is not the answer.

[ToraToraTora]

you were right the first time!

[DDIL]

Well what is the answer because it's A/11 B/1,2,4/8 and C/11

So it's not really a TWAU?

[ToraToraTora]

the answer is irrelevant. The silliness of the answer given is the point here.

[DDIL]

But the answer isn't silly as the question with those answers is not logical 

[barry1010]

The correct answer is C, Hockey.

 

[barry1010]

It's not silly, people have no way of knowing how many reserves made up the squad.

[ToraToraTora]

"It's not silly, people have no way of knowing how many reserves made up the squad." - no but they know that India barely play football!

[DDIL]

Hang on let me get you a shovel TTT.

Add to the above, the national team are ranked 127 in the world. Not great, granted, but there are 83 teams below them.

[THECORBYLOON]

How much did you win when you were on it then?

[ToraToraTora]

1928 bazza, there was barely a football on India. Today they are 105th in the world, hockey however....in 1928.... etc

That's why I love these all the dim people get their alans in a brahms! PMSL!

[DDIL]

From where I see it the only person getting their knickers furled is you TTT, trying to justify it!

[Ken4155]

Think you'll find they're ranked 127th, as i said above. They were last ranked as high as 105th in April 2021.

[ToraToraTora]

yeah sorry ken they must have fallen further. Wonder what they were in 1928!

India wasn't in the Olympics in 1928 but they were in 1948.

[ToraToraTora]

What are you on about barry?

[barry1010]

I was referring to football, as you are aware; pointing out that the answer wasn't worthy of a TWAU. You assumed it couldn't be football as 'everyone knows they barely play football '.  They play well enough to have competed in the Olympics a few times.
