TD 421 - Short and Sweet
Welcome to TD 421. Thought I'd step up this week with a short one. No theme here - just things that popped into my head.
Rules (shamelessly borrowed from SenseiCAY):
1. No DROP.
2. ONE (1) SHEEP allowed.
3. Usual TD scoring - your score is the number of people (yourself included) who gave the same correct answer as you. Low score wins.
4. There are no loopholes - ask for clarifications if you really need it, but don't try to break the game.
5. Submit answers by PM or here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18If8y9 ... rmveQ/edit. Responses due by midnight CDT, May 20, 2019.
Questions:
1. Name an actor or actress who portrayed a major character from either iteration of One Day at a Time. I am defining major character as someone who appeared in at least half the episodes (10 possible answers).
2. Name a judge from America’s Got Talent (past, present, or announced) (10 possible answers).
3. Name a Jeopardy champion who competed in the All-Star Tournament (18 possible answers).
4. Name a person portrayed in the Broadway musical Hamilton (18 possible answers).
5. Name a current world capital beginning with the letter D (official or de facto) (11 possible answers).
6. Name a team that made the NBA playoffs this season (2018-2019) (16 possible answers).
Have fun!

Re: TD 421 - Short and Sweet
Is a wrong answer elimination or a penalty? If you did a penalty of +100 it would lead to a secondary contest between "eliminated" players.
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

No elimination, but I just realized you mean that I forgot to state what incorrect answers will cost you - they will be scored as sheep score +5.MattKnowles wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:53 pm Is a wrong answer elimination or a penalty?

I almost didn't enter because I didn't know anything for the first two questions, but decided to take a shot in the dark at Simon Cowell for #2. I'm glad I did.
