Do it. Just like on Millionaire, it's always fun to watch someone get eliminated on the first question

Right. So implicit in question #1 is that the person has to be well known or notable in some way; they can’t be your co-worker or pub trivia buddy

I included (what this person is known for) in my entry, both to prove it wasn’t a name I was making up, and to hedge against the possibility of multiple people sharing the name.

I appreciate you!

I get that the game is Think Different, but we have to agree on a set of basic principles. Don’t try and break the game, people!

“This person warrants their own Wikipedia/IMDB/Baseball Reference (etc.) entry” is a baseline.

In any case, I suspect the sheep for Q1 will score higher than the sheep for Q2, which is atypical for this format.

No one is out! I’m going to look at the responses and ask some of you to resubmit

Look, I have a team of unpaid interns who are supposed to play test all these questions before they go live. Needless to say, they’re all fired!!!

Rats! I nearly said O.J. Simpson, but I figured he might sheep. Instead, I chose the actual sheep.

I was pretty sure Ashlee Simpson would be the sheep, and O.J. would have scored a couple from people who literally couldn’t think of anyone else.

Enough people would think of Jessica Simpson, decide that would be too obvious, then remember she has a less-popular sister. A classic TD blunder.

I’m glad I didn’t ask “does the recipient have to be a person” for Q2; they’d have been onto my answer if I had.
