Would you consider the Hague as a capital (1980)? What about Villa Louvigny (1962, 1966)?

Martial · « **Reply #28 on:** July 07, 2008, 04:57:41 PM »

since when would the Hague be the dutch capital? (and it was host city in both 1976 and 1980!)
as for Villa Louvigny, it's just the name of a theater in Luxembourg

Martial · « **Reply #29 on:** July 07, 2008, 04:58:09 PM »

maybe it would be best to name the cities, for Niko you have too many as well

Niko · « **Reply #30 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:05:18 PM »

19

London, Luxembourg, Copenhagen, Vienna, Madrid, Amsterdam, Dublin, Stockholm, Paris, (Jerusalem), Brussels, Rome, Oslo, Tallin, Riga, Kiev, Athens, Helsinki, Belgrade

Well - this is the question and it is very easy.

During the history of ESC, there is one county to which Finland has lost every time when it has participated. What is that country?

Martial · « **Reply #33 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:19:38 PM »

im not sure i understand the question
Finland almost lost it all.. or you mean it's a country that always ended up higher than Finland?

Niko · « **Reply #34 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:22:53 PM »

Yes, I mean that, Morgan.

Martial · « **Reply #35 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:26:58 PM »

well im thinking of Spain right now..

Niko · « **Reply #36 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:29:47 PM »

Spain is not right, it has lost several times to Finland

ijm123 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:31:39 PM »

Morocco

Martial · « **Reply #38 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:32:10 PM »

austria? lol morroco

Niko · « **Reply #39 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:32:52 PM »

exactly Ian - Finland was the only country which lost to Morocco.

Your turn

ijm123 · « **Reply #40 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:43:12 PM »

I have asked this question on 4 different forums now - and the answer always surprises people....and Morgan got this one right on the old .com forum - so how's your memory Morgan?

Only 2 countries have finished in the top 10 at ESC on 10 or more consecutive occasions. Which countries are they?

Martial · « **Reply #41 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:48:14 PM »

i know that one is Spain in the 60's-70's
i know France got 9 in a row (and 5 more after 66.. damn that "Chez nous")

i forgot the other one, but a safe bet would be Switzerland

ijm123 · « **Reply #42 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:49:28 PM »

Spain is the one that usually takes the time to get but yes 1966-1975 inclusive.

The other one is MUCH more obvious

Martial · « **Reply #43 on:** July 07, 2008, 05:56:04 PM »

Spain's often overrated.. and often underrated too!

well the other one's more obvious.. something like UK 79-80-81-82-83-84-85-86..damn 88-89-90! damn 92-93-94-95-96-97-98 damn the brits can't do a single thing til the end.. wait 59-60-61-62-63-64-65-66-67-68-69-70-71-72-73-74-75-76-77 ah not bad.. lol

ijm123 · « **Reply #44 on:** July 07, 2008, 06:03:06 PM »

It was the UK - 19 consecutive top 10 finishes

- not bad at all

Martial · « **Reply #45 on:** July 07, 2008, 08:22:20 PM »

Doesn't me saying "it was..." constitute an official statement of victory

Oh well - You're correct Morgan - over to you

Martial · « **Reply #47 on:** July 10, 2008, 01:54:28 AM »

now a question of running order..
name TWO countries that for THREE years in a ROW went one after another.. and then on the fourth year, one went as first and the other one went as last.. Now that you have found these two countries, name how often exactly these two countries finished tied..

ijm123 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 17, 2008, 12:02:18 AM »

I thought I had it there. - Luxembourg and UK followed each other in 61 & 62, UK was first in 63 and Luxembourg was last in 63 - but Sweden sang between them in 1960 so it's not them

. If it is they've tied once (1974

)

ijm123 · « **Reply #49 on:** July 17, 2008, 12:17:57 AM »

OK Got it now

France & Sweden.

Finished tied once (2008)...although 1991 was sort of a tie so it could be twice.
