This game is being hosted by Shayna, Chocolate and Grace. It will run until someone has correctly answered all the questions or until Sunday, February 20th at 5:00 PM EST (based on the board’s clock), whichever comes first, at which time we will declare a winner and post the scores and answers. The prize for the winner will be a really cool cyber-trophy and all bragging rights associated with it!
<center>HOW TO PLAY ROCK & ROLL JEOPARDY</center>
Answer the questions and identify the midi that goes with it. It’s that simple (haha! :)).
Here’s how it works - Just like in real Jeopardy, there are 6 categories, each with 5 “answers” to which you must provide a “question.” But in our version of Rock & Roll Jeopardy, in addition to giving the correct “question,” you must also match it to one of the related midi files that are provided.
5 of the 6 categories have answers pertaining to an artist or group. Your response should include the artist or group that answers the question (or in this case, questions the answer), the midi number that matches it and the name of the song played in the midi.
The category “Soundtracks” has answers pertaining to a movie the soundtrack is from. Your response should include the answer to the question, the midi number of the song from that movie and the name of the song played in the midi. A bonus will be awarded for naming the movie as well.
(Hint: You may find it easier to identify the midis first and then try to match the artist or movie it’s from to the appropriate question.)
Scoring:
All complete answers are worth the point value of the question. Since each answer has 3 parts (either the artist/group or the movie related response, the midi number and the song title), if only 1 of the 3 elements is answered correctly it will be worth 1/3 of the point value, and if 2 of the 3 elements are answered correctly it will be awarded 2/3 of the point value. All fractions will be rounded to the nearest whole number. The bonus for providing the name of the movie for the “Soundtracks” category will be 25 points.
There is a DAILY DOUBLE that is worth twice the point value. Look for the bolded point value.
In case any of this sounds confusing, here are 2 examples (these are not actually in this game):
<center><table border=1><tr><td colspan=2 align=center>Food For Thought</td></tr><tr><td>100</td><td>He was a real cut-up in the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show.</td></tr></table></center>
Your answer would read:
Food For Thought, 100 - Who Is Meat Loaf?
Midi #770 (we are providing the midis to match) - You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night).
Your score for this complete answer would be 100 pts. An example of a partial answer score would be, if you answered only, “Who is Meat Loaf? Midi #770,” you’d receive 67 points.
<center><table border=1><tr><td colspan=2 align=center>Soundtracks</td></tr><tr><td>100</td><td>He got dumped at the altar and fell in love with a waitress.</td></tr></table></center>
The answer would be:
Soundtracks, 100 - Who Is Robby Hart? (Note that this is the name of the character, not the actor. The actor didn’t get dumped, the character did.)
Midi #852 - Pass the Dutchie (Note that you do not need the name of the artist.)
Bonus: The Wedding Singer
Your score for this answer would be 125 points (100 for the category value and 25 bonus points for correctly identifying the movie). If you only answered, “Who is Robby Hart? Midi #852. Bonus: The Wedding Singer,” you’re score would be 92 points (67 for the partial answer plus the 25 bonus points).
Now, the trick (you knew there’d be one, didn’t you?)… There are 5 questions in each category, but there are 7 midi files for each category. 2 of the 7 midis don’t pertain to any of the questions, but are still category related! For these extra midis, you can score bonus points by identifying the artist or group and the name of the song, making a note that these are extras (please also indicate what category they would fall under). For the 2 extra midis in the “Soundtrack” category you will only need to name the song and the movie title, NOT the artist who sang the song.
The “extras” for each category are worth 25 points per element (25 points for correctly identifying the midi number as an extra in that category, 25 points for naming the song and 25 points for naming the artist [or movie, in the “Soundtracks” category]).
If you have any questions, please post them here and we will check in from time to time to answer them as best we can.
