Guestimates Restart #1: Results
1.1. One of the big topics on the board lately, is the European Football (what we call soccer) Championships. Now.. in the first round of qualifying, there were 10 groups of 5 teams, playing a home and home series with each other team in their group. This means approximately 200 games were played. In those 200 or so games, how many goals were scored?
A: 544. The most goals were scored by group 1, which scored 67. General Mike:575 (+31) -- 5 Points TredWel: 500 (+44)-- 4 Points tucker342:600 (+56) -- 3 Points mijb: 625 (+81) -- 2 Points DeToxRox: 450 (-94) -- 1 Point Kingfc22 445 (-99) timmynausea: 341 (-103) Radii: 405 (-139) albionmoonlight:400 (-144) wade moore:700 (+156) RPI: 228 (-316) 2. There is a site (wwiTV.com) dedicated to providing links to TV stations around the world that provide streaming video. As of June 13th, How many different stations had links on the itv database?

Now, we like to claim that FOFC is everywhere. So I took one of the most famous words in FOFC, "dola" and searched for it on Ebay (looked for it in both the title AND the description. As of 5:30 pm on June 19th, how many auctions had the word "dola" in the title and/or description?

"The Detroit Pistons are one of the unlikeliest NBA Champions in recent history. But the main reason they won is their defense. How many points did they give up in the 23 playoff games they played?"
