> [@chrisk](#): > > A question… are we also going to use any kind of scoring system to see who was ‘with the pack’ most often?? (one point for every other person who gave your answer, to each question??) Sounds fun! I vote for that. Maybe we could even score each player by how many others had the same answer – by question – and the one (or ones) with the highest such score can be the winner! I sincerely doubt that this thread will attract 100 sets of answers. Not counting these off-topic posts (like this one), is there any serious objection to tallying the scores of all who have replied by the time 50 sets are in? That seems most reasonable to me. **RachelChristine** , you still up to do the counting/tallying? ---

I’m in the process of tallying right now! Then I’ll just keep adding until we get to 50, if we make it that far. I think we have 30 some answers so far. I’ll give points to people too, if you guys want. That sounds fun, and I’m able to do that easily by the way I’m tallying. ---

Oh, and also, should I count them the same whether people say Hawaii or a specific Hawaiian island? All the other similar answers are really close, but we have a lot of Hawaii’s, plus a lot of Oahus, and a lot of Mauis. Are they all the same?? ---

Sorry, but other site I did this on after answering and prior to posting we peeked at previous posters answers for duplications and had to come up with alternates like they do on show. Thus if anyone is totalling you should ignore my second answers for 4 and 7 since they were posted in that spirit. Sorry dcw1970, I guess your not my pard after all. ---

All the other similar answers are really close, but we have a lot of Hawaii’s, plus a lot of Oahus, and a lot of Mauis. Are they all the same?? I would guess that ‘Hawaii’ by itself should be taken to be the island that bears that name, aka ‘the big island.’ Oahu and Maui are seperate isalnds in the hawaiian group. ---
