TD 206 - Leftovers (cheating account free)

TD 206 - Leftovers


Hi everyone, welcome to TD 206 – Leftovers. I had a ton of fun doing the last TD on Seinfeld and set out to make another TD game shortly after. Problem is, I couldn’t finish one with a single theme. Each time I tried to start a new quiz, I couldn’t come up with more than 3 or four questions on one theme. Luckily, I had enough questions for a TD quiz after about 3 attempts. Here they are, the leftovers. The best questions from my quiz attempts that cover a range of fun subjects. As always, here are the rules adapted from many TDs before this one:

The Rules

1. Please send me your answers by private message (PM), but NOT ANYWHERE IN THE THREAD!

2. Please use the PM function for any questions and clarifications and I will post changes in the main thread if required. We don’t want to tip anyone about the answers do we?

3. The deadline for submission is 5:00 PM EST Monday, September 1, 2014

4. The object, as always, is to provide the least popular correct answer for each of the questions. If your answer is correct, your score on a question equals the number of people (including you) who gave your answer. The player with the least cumulative score wins.

5. If your answer is incorrect, your score will be the sheep score plus five. So guess away as wrong answers may not wreck you too badly.

6. You may drop one question by invoking the magical chant of “I’m full” Your score for that question will be zero.

7. If a question seems like sheepbait, you can just say, "I want it all" and take the sheep score. You may use this option only once.

8. This goes without saying, but answers must be provided out of the wealth of information that exists in your brain - no research! No cheating. However, if you are lucky enough to stumble onto an answer between when you read the question and when you submit your answers, it is fully acceptable to use that.

9. The first tiebreaker will be the score before the bonus questions, then the number of singletons, then doubletons, then submission order.

10. Entries sent in are considered final. Go over your submission before hitting send. Since im easily flustered with numbers, I won't be able to change answers once an entry is submitted.

Here we go. Please peruse the questions and have fun.

Leftovers TD - The best of the rest of the quizzes

From a quiz about the 3 Cs: cartoons, candy and comics….

1. Lets start off with a softball. Name a Hanna Barbera cartoon series where an anthropomorphic animal is the main character. (Clarification: The Flintstones would not count as Dino is not anthropomorphic and is not the main character. Keep that in mind when choosing an answer)

2. Name one of the top 10 most popular types of chocolate based candy given out at Halloween in the US. (Stats compiled in 2013)

3. Given the description, name me one of the comic strips being described (some opinions are purely my own). Give me the description of the strip or the number with your answer:
Spoiler
i. A poorly drawn, insecure, indecisive woman goes through life obsessing over every tiny decision

iii. A motley crew of a penguin, a diseased cat, some kids and others and their adventures that occur in the title administrative division
iv. A soldier that is seemingly never promoted is abused by his superiors at Camp Swampy

5. Since Keanu Reeves is one of my favorite actors in an absolutely nonironic sense, name one of his top 12 movies based on US box office receipts. (Hint: Be very specific if you’re choosing a movie that has a sequel.)

6. The show “Happy Days” went into a tailspin after the episode where the Fonz had to jump over a pool of sharks. Since then, “jumping the shark” has become synonymous with a moment when the quality of a TV show begins to decline. Name one of the shows from the given Jump the Shark moments.
Important: Give me your choice of show with your answer. Jump the sharks may be a tad subjective:

From a quiz about sports and games……

8. Name one of the top 12 15 selling board games on Amazon as of quiz publication. These are current top sellers that people are buying, not a list of historically best selling games. (Clarification: There are a couple of items on this list that I would not consider traditional board games, but they are acceptable answers)

Bonuses

Up to eight points at stake. No negative points for guessing, so guess away.

1. This is from a question I wasn’t able to incorporate. Excluding religious works and nonfiction, name me up to three of the 12 the most translated works of fiction. Ranking is based on the number of languages a work has been translated into according to wikipedia. (Some are collections, so collective names will be accepted)

2. Having binged on the Simpsons marathon this weekend, answer this trivia question for two points off your score.
What is the significance of Roger Meyers in the Simpsons universe?

3. For one point off each, name 3 of the top ten selling PC games of all time

Have fun guessing. Looking forward to your answers

Done. Jekyll & Hyde with many options on some and a struggle to get even one on others. Did I go for things I have mentioned numerous times on the board or let them go? Bwah ha ha!

For the superheroes, if they used several names, does each count separately?

For the purposes of this quiz, each option only pertains to one superhero.

Its still pretty early to jump to any conclusions.

I tried to go for a mix of questions, lets see how your strategy pays off.

Ok, so ... if George Washington went by The Prez, General George, and The Virginian, then any of those three answers would count as one?

I have the most popular version of each option in mind. If you want to go with another identity, ill consider it, but it would still correspond to the same person. It would make more sense to keep it simple.

Is this specific to US or some other region? Candy can vary pretty wildly from one country to another.

I cant think of many other places that have a halloween-candy connection, but I am referring to the US. I'll make that clear in the question.
