TD 209: The Multiplier Effect

[Vermonter]

Total participants: 36
Average final score: 183
Largest sheep: 17

Out of 177 possible responses, 20 are unclaimed and 27 are singletons

…and 2 people have responded incorrectly with the Zero Multiplier

[Vermonter]

Bumping again to avoid the second page. It's been fun watching the scores change with each new response…

[Vermonter]

Lots of activity today, I guess – this is already bumped down to page 2 again.

(Where's the witty banter?!)

Anyway, 73 hours left, and here are some stats:

Total participants: 43
Average score on the "Multiplier: 7" question: 36.6
Largest sheep: 20

Out of 177 possible responses, just 13 remain unclaimed and 25 are singletons

Oh, wait, you said witty banter; I thought you said...

[Vermonter]

Up to 48 players now, and I know we're missing a few heavy hitters. Get those responses in!

I'll be testing out a beta version of Vermonter's TD Tracker™, which I've modified for this particular game. I'll share the workbook when I'm done in case anyone is interested in checking out the stats/formulas for this particular use.

And at least one "light hitter" here. I'll have an entry in tonight!

All of you future TD hosts should be taking him up on that. Very nice work, Keith.

Love it!

Q4: Name 4 of the 47 winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture with a title of at least three words, including leading articles.
Multiplier values: 0, 2, 4, 6

Q5: Name 5 of the 54 sovereign states in Africa.
Multiplier values: -1**, 1, 3, 5, 7

For once my lack of knowledge won't hinder my ability to play the game, as I could name all 101 choices here. I bet I chose 7 sheeps and two singletons for the 0 and -1 multipliers.

Wouldn't that be BA-BOOM?

With 24 hours to go, we have 55 players. Still 9 answers totally unclaimed.

Most amusing to me: someone doubles his score on the final response.

[Wheatley]

I don't quite get the scoring system, it looks like you can bomb out with just one sheep answer, but my strategy of "don't get any of these wrong" will hopefully suffice

[Vermonter]

Half a day remains – get those responses in.

Here's a quick link to the Google Form.

I don't know about the final question (I think I did alright on that one), but I got at least two wrong. Yeah, probably finishing last here. That's what I get for submitting during school while distracted.

[Vermonter]

Not counting cheaters, my last TD had 64 entrants… just need 6 more in the next four hours to top that.

I will now open the floor to comments.

I like how here more people think they're going to be last (which is totally me, guys) than first. We're nothing if not humble.

If you look on the bright side, whoever this was had a penultimate score that was low enough to be doubled by one response...

Given that there are 59 entrants, and the last question is a 7x multiplier to a question everyone gave five answers for, that score could easily be in the hundreds. I really can't wait to see how the numbers play out.
