A QUIZ OF SORTS - S4V6 (inc. AQOS Cup - sponsored by Mumsnet - round 1)

colon_closed_bracket [Edit] [Delete] 108 replies 19:13, 19 October '14

***THE GAME***

All you have to do is guess what the most popular answer to each question. You get the same number of points per question as the total number of people who gave the same answer as you. For example if the question is “a city in Asia” and 50 people including you said “Tokyo” you would get 50 points.

The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the 15 questions.

FIENDISH RULE: If nobody else answers the same as you on a question, then you will lose a number of points equivalent to the top answer on that round. So, in the example above, if you answer "Kuala Lumpur" and nobody else gives that answer, your score will be -50 points for that round.

***HOW TO SIGN UP***
If you have not already signed up, please send a PM to plasticniki INCLUDING a password of your choice (to be used when you submit your questions):

http://drownedinsound.com/notes/new?to_id=33621

You'll then receive a PM with the link to the questions.

***DEADLINE*** 7pm Thursday 16th October
***RESULTS*** lunchtime onwards, Friday 17th October

Good luck everyone!

Love

            • You're too late

              • You posted the list of entrants at 20:55

                I submitted my answers at 20:02.

                Maybe you can explain how that's "too late"...

                InItInnit @colon_closed_bracket | 23 Oct '14, 21:21 | X
                • Because

                  At just after 7pm I went onto the survey, extracted the responses and started the scoring. At just before 9pm I posted the final list of entrants in this thread.

                  There will be occasions where I don't get round to starting the scoring until later on in the evening because of other commitments. But if you submit your answers late, you run the risk of not being included in the game.

                  Stupidsexyflanders gets a bye to the next round.

          Not very.
