TD 284: Just Images

[Vermonter]

We've entered the home stretch and we're up to 88 entries. I'll update the list when I get home tonight.

[Vermonter]

We have 95 players, yet six answers are completely unclaimed. And let me tell you: that one of these has zero responses blows my mind.

[Bamaman]

Someone submitted an entry with SKIP for every answer. That is not a good strategy, so I ignored it.

I know it is bad strategy, but I had no other choice.

Once or twice is fine! but every question is not

Purely for the benefit of your mental health, go ahead and switch my answer on that question for the unclaimed one.

I do hope that you will point that one out for us....would be most illuminating.

[Vermonter]

We've broken the triple-digit mark. I'm going to make some lunch and then the reveal will begin!

Now that the noon deadline has passed, can I make a guess?

Spoiler it – I will still accept any straggler entries that come in

Hope I wasn't too late. Just submitted mine.

[Magna]

Having this many entrants could really create some surprising results!

[Vermonter]

All right! We have 103 entries, which means each SKIP will be worth 21 points and each incorrect answer will be worth 34.

Here's how I'll handle the reveals: I'll put unused answers first, then wrong answers, then the rest. In most cases I'll accompany the wrong answers with what I think the player(s) might have been going for.

Names in italics are not JBoard members. I'll run the scores separately at the end without them.

And now, without further ado…

1. State quarters

When I was young and naive, I collected the official state quarters because I thought maybe they'd be worth something someday.

Pick one and name the state.

For this first question, I wanted to test a hunch: that TD players tend to go for YEKIOYD options over things that can be teased out. I included two of the answers for just that reason. And yes, they are responsible for the two highest totals.

You're all on my list. Quit thinking like me!

For this first question, I wanted to test a hunch: that TD players tend to go for YEKIOYD options over things that can be teased out. I included two of the answers for just that reason. And yes, they are responsible for the two highest totals.[/color]

(26) CONNECTICUT

Not the way I wanted to start, but in my case, I went for it because I could've named 11 of the 12 correctly, so decided to go with my home state. Although I think there is definitely something to your theorem. At least I didn't go for the Florida quarter, which I would've guessed was Virginia.

[MarkyMarkm]

And I'm already fairly certain 3 of my other answers will be mega-sheep.

[MinnesotaMyron]

And big freaking Mount Rushmore gets 4.

[AgentSeto]

Test 1 - Not going for Connecticut or Wyoming - Passed

Test 2 - Not ditching Maine after lengthy debate for Utah - Failed.

[Vermonter]

I apologize – I left out one entry. Sorry about that!

+1 to Alabama on the first question, and SKIP is now worth 21.

[BobF]

Can I retroskip question 1?
