Well, haven’t they had to rename that, since the Concorde went out of service?
OK,
I’m tallying up the scores now.
Sorry about the palace/place thing. If the question was being spoken aloud, then there wouldn’t have been so many mixups. Something I never considered.
So – game done – where are the scores? (I want to see how bad I effed up by misreading the first question. )
Ok,

'Twas a fun game, though. I love finding out how much there still is to learn.

Suprise bonuse question.
I totaled up this number. I knew it would be a very low number. I decided to take the absoulte value and let that pick a question. It was, in fact, 1. So I took the value of your score for question 1 and doubled it. So if you Jokered #1 it quadrupled your score.
If the value for the total of the special bonus was zero, that would have been the international signal for my minions to go out and pull the mother-fucking system down. But perhaps another day.
Sorry for misspelling any names but I’m doing a rush job of this.
Also I’d like to welcome Puskin to his/her first game.
please explain this math again? How is the absolute value of 41 “1”? at best, in “Mod9” 41=5, but “1”?
Can you ask that question in english?
OK, I ask everyone to choose between 3 numbers. -1, 0 and 1
IF everyone picked number 1 the total would have been 41, and I would have been screwed.
If everyone picked negative 1 the total would have been -41 and I would have been screwed.
But I knew that the numbers picked would be distributed evenly. The total added to (positive) 1. That selected the first question as a bonus. So, before applying the Joker to the scored replies, I doubled your score for it. So if you jokered that response, the way cmkeller 42fish tarragon918 Mullinator SenoraGO all did, you scored 80 points for that.
well, if
or
had happened, that’s when you employ “Mod9”, wherein you add the individual digits of a given number, and keep doing so, until you get a single digit. Thus 41 = 4 + 1 = 5.
Ok
So your question was…
just trying to wangle a few more points for myself
Well show me some boobies and we’ll talk.
Fine, I award you 5 bonus points.
*of course it doesn’t change the standings.
