I'm With Stupid XXI: Too Stupid to be President
The rules: If you wish to enter, PM me with your answers to the nine questions below before 8pm GMT Sunday 12th October. Scoring will be as detailed below:
|
Quote:
|
All answers are allowed. However, scoring is not based on what the "correct" answer is . It is based on how many other participants choose the same answer. So, for example, if I ask what fruit is the greatest, and 17 people say "banana," each person who answered "banana" will get 17 points for that question. If someone says "mango," and they're the only one, they will get 1 point for that question.
However, the answer doesn't have to even fit the criteria. If two people answer "I hate George W. Bush" when asked what fruit is the greatest, they will still get two points for that question.
Your individual score will be the total of your scores for all nine questions.
|
The Questions[list=1][*]What is the greatest IRC chat room?[*]The recently announced Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy movie will most likely be ________? [*]Who is ‘Poly’s favourite band/artist?[*]Fill in the blank: Evanescence (the band) should be _______.[*]Name the ‘Poly member least likely to enter this edition if IWS.[*]Who would you most like to have a ‘one2one’ with?[*]Which city is most evil?[*]What is the wisest thing said by Erm? (for those that do not know erm, a link to his site is to be found in the sig of the one they call ‘Wombat’)[*]I say potato, you say ________?[/list=1]
Good luck all. May those with the least brain cells, or most alcohol, win

Shouldn't the title be "Too stupid *not* to be president"?

It's a quote, I searched for stupid on Google, and saw the site.
Oh and happy birthday on Wednesday. So many great people born on one day...

*Bump*
I would like to apologise for question 6, since it seems that most posters do not know what a one2one is, since the advert is only UK based  However to say now would be to give those that have not yet answered an advantage.

So far:
12 entrants.
A maximum score of 42.
The highest anyone has acheived is 38.
The lowest is 18.
Entries still accepted until this Sunday, so all this is likely to change.

Point the first: Read your own signature. Like you, erm also has a lower case "e".
Point the second: erm does in fact die quite frequently, much to everyone's amusement.
Thus I conclude you are neither contentious, nor apt in your use of the smilie.

I'm planning on entering, but will wait until nearer to the end. You need something to do towards the end of the competition as most people who enter do so within the first few hours.

31 hour left, so if you want to enter, get your answers in. It is extremely tight at the top, so one more set of answers could easily change the lead.

No problem, will enter after I finish work (in around 3 more hours).
Speaking of which, my lunch break ended half an hour ago, I'd better drive back to work.
