I have decided to usurp the game and go for the lowest non-zero score. My goal is under 20 points (since every time I match one other person I get 4 points) and to increase my challenge I am using the Joker on a random question to be determined after I answer.

  1. CP/M
  2. Wang (I was tempted to name one of the four defunct companies I’ve worked for; what can I say, I’m a pariah.)
  3. Mathematician
  4. Nolan Bushnell
  5. Underwear with their name stitched in it.
  6. Replica Star Trek Phaser
  7. Monty Python and the Meaning of Life
  8. Wargaming
  9. Phone Phreaking
  10. Walter Koenig

Joker is… number 10.

Hopefully by basing most of my answers on the sixties and seventies I’ll get one or two matches and stand alone for the bulk of it.
