I have zero expertise in this area, but I worry that if they can put funds in, they might hack a way to take something out via an associated credit card.mikebdoss wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 6:24 pm For those worried about giving your Paypal "info", isn't that just your email address? I know some people don't like to give it out, but it's not like they can take/steal your money with just your email address.
That said, I can imagine a nice social hack where some service asks you to set up an account, then cross references your sign-up email and password with Paypal to see if it works (though with 2FA, that's not as big of an issue anymore).
Paypal doesn't work that way - only the account holder can move/withdraw funds - other people can pay you, but not take your money. Think of it like a checking account - everyone you write a check to has your checking account number, but that doesn't let them take your money.squarekara wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 6:42 pmI have zero expertise in this area, but I worry that if they can put funds in, they might hack a way to take something out via an associated credit card.mikebdoss wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 6:24 pm For those worried about giving your Paypal "info", isn't that just your email address?

Thanks! I still don't like the report of a TEN DAY process, but I guess I have 90 days or so to act.mikebdoss wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 8:03 pmPaypal doesn't work that way - only the account holder can move/withdraw funds - other people can pay you, but not take your money.

For comparison's sake, Kiva.com would also take at least 5 business days to return your case when you withdrew money from your Kiva account.squarekara wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 8:13 pmThanks!

What were the options?heppm01 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 10:09 pm In CashShow, there was an error in the 8PM EST game today. The clue asked for the date of "World Cancer Day", which is February 4, but that was not one of the options. February 2 was given as the supposed correct answer. The voiceover following the reveal correctly said February 4.
I want my three cents!
March 3 was one of the options. I think May 4? Or May 5? One of those was the other option.jeff6286 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 10:33 pmWhat were the options?heppm01 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 10:09 pm In CashShow, there was an error in the 8PM EST game today.

I think the sloppiness of Cash Show is turning out to be the most amusing thing about it. Bad pronunciation, misspellings, etc. Of course, the entertainment factor goes out the window when their mistakes affect our winnings!heppm01 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 10:09 pm In CashShow, there was an error in the 8PM EST game today.

Yup, and a Savage Question, too. More HQties need to watch J!, I guess. Also my second win ever, this time playing alone. It felt quite a bit like Slumdog Millionaire (I did have to make educated guesses on Q10 and Q12).
I got it wrong anyway. I guess I only focused on the translation portion of the J! clue.
Michael Rankins (aka SwanShadow) pointed out on Twitter that for the question "Which of these stars is on Orion's belt?", none of the choices (Sirius, Betelgeuse, Polaris) were correct.squarekara wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 8:26 pm So, Cash Show is officially nuts now. They just asked something like "In the Mother Goose Rhyme, Little Boy Blue jumps over what? Sun? Star? Moon?" As we know, LBB couldn't be bothered to do a dang thing--he was "under the haystack, fast asleep!" I had to tap the response I thought they wanted for the question I thought they meant to ask, and I ended up guessing "correctly." Crazy. Maybe someone else recalls a comedy sketch with Rowan Atkinson, Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese and others. A quizmaster's cards get mixed up during a quiz bowl competition, and, in order to get answers right, the schoolchildren are forced to make blind predictions and respond with the "correct" incorrect answer. That's where we are with Cash Show.
