[QUOTE=Mullinator] 1. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 2 points times the number of people with the same answer. The theoretical max score would be 1000 points. I expect to seriously undershoot that mark. [/QUOTE] Undershoot? How far under is an undershoot? ---

So the penalty for making you extra work is to make more work for you? ---

[QUOTE=Zebra] So the penalty for making you extra work is to make more work for you? [/QUOTE] Nah, I’d still have to clear out the weirdly posted responses, and I’ve already got the sheet set up to recognize and penalize anyone that needs it. I think I can pretty easily post the final score within one minute of me knowing that we have reached 50. Of course, that might be delayed depending on if I’m near a computer or awake. ---

[QUOTE=MadTheSwine] I thought so as well [/QUOTE] Nah, I agree, I was being a little facetious. There are a couple of really oddball lows, but it’s going to be a close race at the top (assuming things hold). And, we are at the halfway point now. ---
