To honor the recently deceased legendary singer David Bowie, here’s a TD! **IT IS NOT ONLY QUESTIONS ABOUT DAVID BOWIE**
The normal rules apply:
*Choose the correct answer that matches the least number of other people
*If you’re unsure of an answer, you get 2 different options! Simply type either SHEEP or DROP in, instead of an answer.
-You can use the SHEEP option, which gives you points equal to the most popular answer
OR
-You can DROP one question. **If you choose to NOT use your drop, I will generously remove 5 points off your score at the end**
*If you get a question wrong, you pay the penalty of 5 points PLUS the sheep score.
*Please do NOT use anyone else’s brain (this includes the Internet’s).
*I will be more generous than usual with respect to spelling. If an issue arises, I will PM you for clarification.
**REMEMBER TO INCLUDE THE LETTER, WHEN THERE IS A LIST OF CHOICES**
