TD 419 - TD or Not TD (Final results)
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2019 11:11 am
The first twelve questions of this quiz are based on "TD" people/things, while all of the bonus round answers also have those initials. So the title for this one is "TD or Not TD".
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 1 PM Central time on Monday, April 29, 2019
7) Submit answers via this Google form or PM
