JeeberD · 11-22-2003, 12:12 PM

Welcome back to IWS. Sorry I'm a little late with it. I've been a little under the weather plus FOF2K4 has taken up much of my free time. But enough with the excuses, let's get to the game...

The Rules

The rules are the same as all FOFC "I’m With Stupid" Contests.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Highest score wins.

No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this puzzle, i.e. the person posting the questions unless otherwise noted. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "name a color of the rainbow," and you and four other people responded "black" - you get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer to the question.

Submit your answers by Private Message to JeeberD before Friday, 11/28/03, 11:59pm EST.

JeeberD · 11-23-2003, 11:10 AM

Thanks SI, but I don't have Excel on my computer. Instead it came with some generic Microsoft spreadsheet program. Last time I hosted I created a program for the cheezy spreadsheet and it worked pretty well. Thanks though...

Of course, I'm not gonna say that's not where you are in the standings...

So at one point RPI-FAN controlled his own destiny to victory, I wonder if he held off the 39 other challengers for his lead he had at one point?

You mean QuikSand will finish in the bottom 10 and Alf and I would top him by a few places?
Or if the order is bottom-top, then it would mean both Alf and I would finish in the top 10...

Both cases are like fairy tales: some are true, most will never happen.

JeeberD · 11-26-2003, 02:03 PM

Jeeber, I'll check the IWS section on my website, but my first guess is 59 participants as the record.

MIJB#19 · 11-27-2003, 04:24 AM

My sources say 58 participants is the record, set in IWS#9, hosted by henry296 and won by a sixtet.

JeeberD · 11-27-2003, 09:04 AM

58? Damn! Guess I'm falling quite a bit short with only 45 so far...

Thanks for looking it up, Meep..
