[TD 144] The Kodak Theater presents... The 144th Think Different!
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:51 pm
Starting a little early (because I didn't want to get completely swamped at work tomorrow), and we're already an hour behind!
So to bring you up to speed, here's how this show will to be run:
(Rules lifted from Turd's TD143, which was lifted from opus's TD132, and then tweaked as necessary)
1. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD! Send them to me by private message.
2. Deadline for submissions is 11:59:59 PM PST on Monday, December 19, 2011.
3. The object, as you know, is to provide the least popular correct answer for each of the questions.
a. Your score on a question equals the number of people (including you) who gave your answer.
b. Incorrect answers receive the "sheep" score (highest score on that question) plus 5
c. Lowest final score wins (with total computed by adding your scores together)
4. You will be given two friends to help out on questions you have problems with. Each can be used only once.
a. George C. Scott - Equal to a drop, he'll show up, say you don't have to give an answer to this question, slap the scorer, then go back to watching his hockey game because Patton.
b. Marlon Brando - Instead of giving an answer, he'll send Sacheen Littlefeather and explain that answering this question harms the Native Americans or whales trapped under the ice, or something. Unfortunately, the more Littlefeathers used for a question the more annoyed the scorer gets, so you will be given points equal to the number of Brandos used for that question.
5. Answers must be provided out of the wealth of information that exists in your brain. No research! However, if, in the course of your normal activities (like Friday's Jeopardy...), you happen to learn something useful between the time you read the questions and the time you submit your answers, that new knowledge is fair game.
6. Only awards and nominations that have, as of today, December 11, 2001, been doled out count for any question.
7. In the event of a tie...you better hope you get closer on the last question than your competition! If even after that, well, AMPAS has given out awards for ties before, I see no reason why I can't. Basically, don't rush. It might take you a day to get through the questions in the first place!
8. If you have questions or comments, send them to me via private message unless you are sure that what you say will not reveal answers, offer hints, steer players away from negbait, or in any other way affect the outcome.
And with that, on with the show!
