Where Am I? Quiz 9 (SLIGHTLY REVISED RULES)

[tubeguru]

Wanstead - were you making a guess earlier with Vauxhall?

[tubeguru]

It's Vauxhall, unless you lied somewhere.

Are u on the Victoria Line.?

No (8/20).

Are you on a tube (ie not SSL) line?

No (9/20).

Both these questions together definitely rule out the Victoria line.

<spoiler>I'm assuming that Question 1 was the lie, thus leaving NR stations with an l in their name in Zones 1,2 and 5, that are east of Birkbeck, south of the river, and not on SWT...</spoiler> (copy and paste it somewhere to read)
Narrowing it down further than these 9 is harder.

I would say that too much time was wasted earlier asking lame questions such as "are you on X line?", "are you on Y line?". We had three of those in a row.

[Wanstead]

Wanstead - were you making a guess earlier with Vauxhall?

What can I say, my train of thought went off the rails.

Are you going to count this as a question? I think I might have just killed the fun for everyone else since there's only one chance left to ask a question.

[tubeguru]

I will let it pass. There are two questions left and I don't think anyone is going to get it unless someone has a wild stab at it.

This is why I think we either need to remove the lying rule OR allow more questions due to the larger number of stations available to the hider.

[tubeguru]

A quick update of what we have so far. Bear in mind that one of the facts below MAY be a lie.

1 - I am on the tube (LUL services)
2 - I am south of the Thames
3 - I am in zones 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7
4 - I am still south of the Thames
5 - I am not at South Wimbledon
6 - I am not on the Northern line
7 - I am not on the District line
8 - I am not on the Victoria line
9 - I am not on a tube line (i.e. non-SSL)
10 - I am overground
11 - I am not on the Wimbledon branch
12 - I am at a National Rail station
13 - I am not at Kew Gardens
14 - The station I am at has an "L" in its name
15 - I am not at a station served by South West Trains
16 - I am not in zone 3
17 - I am not east of Birkbeck
18 - I am not at Harrow-on-the-Hill (answers 2 and 4 rule this out by miles)

[greatkingrat]

19. Are you in zone 5?

[tubeguru]

No (19/20).

One question left, so someone's going to have to have a stab in the dark I think.

[tubeguru]

Meh, let's guess. Are you at Clapham High Street?

YES! (20/20)

How did you work that one out? I thought I'd got you all for sure there.

[greatkingrat]

That leaves 5.

I will try and read Neil's mind -

Are you at Loughborough Junction?

[tubeguru]

That leaves 5.

I will try and read Neil's mind -

Are you at Loughborough Junction?

No (21/20). I am at Clapham High Street.

[tubeguru]

Here is a complete list of where I may or may not have been. The answer to question #1 was a lie.

1 - I am on the tube (LIE)
2 - I am south of the Thames
3 - I am in zones 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7
4 - I am still south of the Thames
5 - I am not at South Wimbledon
6 - I am not on the Northern line
7 - I am not on the District line
8 - I am not on the Victoria line
9 - I am not on a tube line (i.e. non-SSL)
10 - I am overground
11 - I am not on the Wimbledon branch
12 - I am at a National Rail station
13 - I am not at Kew Gardens
14 - The station I am at has an "L" in its name
15 - I am not at a station served by South West Trains
16 - I am not in zone 3
17 - I am not east of Birkbeck
18 - I am not at Harrow-on-the-Hill (answers 2 and 4 rule this out by miles)
19 - I am not in zone 5
20 - I am at Clapham High Street!

[Edgemaster]

Hehe, CHS was going to be my guess also.

[Wanstead]

FWIW I got it down to 8 possibilities assuming Question 1 was a lie and having to ignore Question 10 as I don't know the network that well.

Despite messing up I quite like this game. Easier if you don't lie, and consensus seems to be we shouldn't lie for future games...

[Wanstead]

I had it down to:
Brockley
Clapham High Street
Denmark Hill
East Dulwich
Herne Hill
Loughborough Junction
North Dulwich
Waterloo East

[greatkingrat]

Waterloo East is an interesting one. It is not actually shown on the London Connections map as a seperate station so I am not sure if it would be allowed or not.

Herne Hill and North Dulwich are both on the zone 2/3 border so were ruled out by Q16.
