When I scored the first two, I didn’t subtract 9 points, but other people that have scored them did. As long as you are consistent within each game, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, I scored 150-9, a nice respectable 141.

I’m embarrassed to post my results, but would some one of you _winners_ put up #VI? I’m going to quit going with my first impressions and try to guess what you folks will do. I forget we’re not on the 20-25 second bit at the end of the show. 🙂

No kidding - I ended up with a 120.

I flopped the nuts: 239 - 9 = 230.

I’ll happily start the next round, if that’s the etiquette (I missed the original mission statement).

I did it mainly so that people could check their own score. I didn’t list anything that had less than two of the same answer so I left one point off of those that I did list. That way no one would be penalized point(s) for having an original answer. (other than losing their asses off, that is) 😃

My scroe was 205-9= **196**

I deliberately didn’t read the rest of the thread… which is why the eager entry above was made without relaizing this was done, already. Oh, well.
