PENGUINS?! You unimaginitive clods! (I answered buildings. Oh well, that was because we had this bet-sorta going on... Damn it! Should have answered "penguins" or "chicken" or something stupiderer like that. BAH. It was the Linuxphiles wasn't it? Damn you! You can take your cutesy Tux and shove it!)

Not bad.. 45... that's about what I got last time, I think.

I bailed myself out with my last three answers .

17!

And somehow my votes for the most hated artist one (Celine Dion) and OTer who needs to change socks (Wiglaf) are missing...

Beats me. I thought you get a number of points equal to number of votes in the choices you made.

So, if 5 people voted for the Easter Bunny, which is also your choice, you'd get 5 points.

Hmmm... 12

...I did everything possible to get 6... but still I got double as many points as I hoped for

Here's some of my votes:

2. None... the word "big-hype" automaticly makes the movie boring
5. Fried Chicken
6. Hidden packages


Well...better luck next game

I don't get it either, obviously has some relation to how many people guessed each thing but I've no idea what.

What's the point of this game? I don't really get it but it looks interesting.

Is there something wrong with your score? Which did you vote for?


I have now updated the site, for those who's interested...

This is what I don't understand:

Jaguar Warrior: 12+8+5+10+11+19 = 65 [PERFECT SCORE]

The top answers for each question got the following scores:

10 7 3 9 10 15

It looks like there must be some relation between:
12 8 5 10 11 19 and
10 7 3 9 10 15

But what is it? First three are number of votes +2 but then it breaks down...

You're right Mike. That makes no sense with the rules as I understood them - I feel like I've turned over two pages at once somewhere. Have the rules changed since the beginning?

Wouldn't a perfect score be 54? I'm pretty sure I got that.

Recount!

er... shit. I posted the results of all but the last 8 entries. And then I lost the complete data.
Basically, the individual scores are correct, but the tallies on each answer are not.

I've corrected what I can. There's probably some stupid one-answer answers missing.
