> [@twickster](#): > > No prob. For ease in scoring, you might want to consider just taking the first 50, scoring those at 2 points each, and then scoring any additional entries against that list. Why does it have to be two points to fifty responses? Is it really that critical that the answers from contestants #51 and #52 don’t get two points? ---

I counted using the top 50 (x2) and got 430, right in the middle. Got killed on PG curse word (shit instead of damn) & transportation city (Seattle instead of NY, duh). Damn is a curse word??? I am also surprised more people didn’t say George Clooney as a future Prez. ---

**CatInaSuit** : Can’t edit threads after 5 minutes. It took a bit longer than that for this round. Here’s the tally for each question of how many people saaid each answer.

[QUOTE=Really Not All That Bright] What, you think New York actually has decent public transportation? [/QUOTE] Considering you can get anywhere you want to go at any time without a car, yes. That would be considered far above and beyond “decent public transportation” in most of the US, especially Southern California. ---

I’m just a little amused that two people said Seattle for that one. I’d be happy to run another of these, by the way, but probably not for a few days. Two things I’d consider: no points for “pass,” and letting the contest run for 100 responses/48 hours. Thoughts? ---
