MAN UTD GCSE Questions

[simon]

How many can you get right???

1. ACCELERATION
Roy is 78 yards away from the referee at Old Trafford and Gary is 65 yards
away. If Roy can run at 21 mph and Gary can run at 16 mph, who will be
sticking their vein-bulging forehead into the hapless whistler's face
first, assuming Roy does not stop to stamp on an opponent on his way.

2. TELLING THE TIME
If one minute of time is taken up in a game for substitutions and one
minute for injuries, how much injury time will the referee add on if Man
Utd are losing at home?

3. PROBABILITY (1)
Ryan Giggs is a Welshman. Express, as a percentage, the number of
internationals he has missed on a Wednesday evening compared to the
miraculous recoveries he made for the following Saturday.

4. SUBTRACTION (1)
Manchester United are one of the giants of world club football. How many
more European Cup Finals have they appeared in than Steaua Bucharest? (For
one extra mark; How many more than Reims?)

5. SUBTRACTION (2)
How many more times have Man Utd won the European Cup than Nottingham
Forest?

6. DISTANCE
You are the referee at Old Trafford. How near to a visiting defender does a
tumbling Ruud van Nistelrooy have to be to earn a penalty if he goes down
in the box? (Note: Round your answers down to the nearest 20 yards.)

7. PROBABILITY (2)
Express the statistical probability of visitors to Old Trafford being
awarded a penalty. Compare this with the probability of opponents of Man
Utd being awarded a penalty home or away, and then discuss if a penalty
awarded to Man Utd would be awarded to their opponents in identical
circumstances.

8. BASIC ACCOUNTING (1)
Mark The Red lives in Guildford. How much does it cost for him and his two
sons to travel to the Theatre of Silence every other weekend, including
limited edition matchday programme, a few drinks and a prawn sandwich all
round? How much could he save per week if he watched his local team
instead? (Note; round your answers down to the nearest thousand pounds.)

9. BASIC ACCOUNTING (2)
Alex had a hotel room booked for the European Cup Final. How much money did
he lose when cancelling his reservation?

10. WEIGHT AND PRESSURE
Ruud is 6ft tall and very strong and fast. How much pressure need be
applied to make him tumble over in the opponent's penalty area? (Note;
Answers must be in lbs per square inch. However, answers such as however
much pressure is applied by Ferguson to referees are accepted.)>

11. MONEY
Juan was a lazy boy and often went missing. Alex was very cross and wanted
to sell him. If Juan cost £28m to buy, how much do you think Alex sold him
for? How many pennies did Alex lose?

12. POULTRY FARMING
What is the total number of chickens counted before they were hatched by
Man Utd and their fans who thought Man City were a pushover?

True and obviously im not a fan of that behaviour but all teams do exactly the same.

2. TELLING THE TIME
If one minute of time is taken up in a game for substitutions and one
minute for injuries, how much injury time will the referee add on if Man
Utd are losing at home?.

4th official counts stoppages and informs the ref of time to add on I doubt there is much difference between games at OT and games anywhere else.

3. PROBABILITY (1)
Ryan Giggs is a Welshman. Express, as a percentage, the number of
internationals he has missed on a Wednesday evening compared to the
miraculous recoveries he made for the following Saturday.

Im not complaining but sometimes I wish he'd picked Ingurland instead, strange a country with our population cant find 1 decent left footed winger to play compared to say Holland.

4. SUBTRACTION (1)
Manchester United are one of the giants of world club football. How many
more European Cup Finals have they appeared in than Steaua Bucharest? (For
one extra mark; How many more than Reims?)

We've never dominated European football and we never claim to have done.

5. SUBTRACTION (2)
How many more times have Man Utd won the European Cup than Nottingham
Forest?

The same I think

6. DISTANCE

I dont like that either but that behaviour is hardly exclusive to Utd

7. PROBABILITY (2)
Express the statistical probability of visitors to Old Trafford being
awarded a penalty. Compare this with the probability of opponents of Man
Utd being awarded a penalty home or away, and then discuss if a penalty
awarded to Man Utd would be awarded to their opponents in identical
circumstances.

Fair enough that statistic is just weird

I cant help it if you shandy drinking southerners cant find your own team to support

9. BASIC ACCOUNTING (2)
Alex had a hotel room booked for the European Cup Final. How much money did
he lose when cancelling his reservation?

Probably not a lot with our money men. Were hardly doing a Leeds are we

10. WEIGHT AND PRESSURE

See point 6

11. MONEY

for? How many pennies did Alex lose?

He's not cut out for the prem is he? Great Serie A player though and I still think he's a class act on his day

12. POULTRY FARMING
What is the total number of chickens counted before they were hatched by
Man Utd and their fans who thought Man City were a pushover?

Hey its their cup final though isn't it! The same thing happens to them sometimes :
