DON'T Stump the Guy with Average Knowledge...

…Maybe even less than average in most things. :wink:

I’m a bored lurker who comes here for a cheap education, so I thought this would be a fun way to activate my underdeveloped brain.

RULES:

  1. I hereby swear not to get any outside information from google, the internet in general, any book, or any help from anyone other than myself. No catch… I’ll play honest.

  2. Ask me whatever question you think I should be able to answer easily. And rate them on a scale of difficulty of 1 - 3 (be honest). I’m a 34 year old, white, american male.

  3. Ask me harder questions as you start to get the feel of my knowledge. The harder the question, and if I get it right, your score goes up by the difficulty rating.

  4. The trick here is to NOT stump me. So, if I don’t know the answer, It confirms my ignorance, and you’ve lost… subtract the difficulty rating from your score.

and… GO!
