TD 413 - A to Z (Final results)
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2019 3:39 pm
This is the 26th TD I have hosted, so the alphabet seemed like an appropriate theme. The title is "A to Z" - with twelve questions going through the twenty-six letters from start to finish.
Rules/Notes
1) Lowest point total wins; your score for each question is equal to the total number of players submitting that same answer
2) You may use one drop and take zero points for that question
3) You may elect to take the sheep answer for one question
4) There is no bonus for not using the "drop" or "sheep", so you probably want to take the former and get a zero for one question
5) Wrong responses are the "sheep" answer +4
6) All answers are due by 8 AM Central time on Monday, February 25, 2019
7) Submit answers via this Google form or PM
