Dammit!
Apparently I need to do some real work this afternoon, so scoring will wait – but I should be able to accommodate everyone who contributed, even beyond 50.
Thanks for playing!
Wait- this isn’t real work? Where are your priorities, man!?
I kid, I kid…
But if you let more than 50 people play, answers won’t be worth two points!
Am I too late?? Yes as usual.

OK, that was like eight hours ago. Don’t leave me hangin’, man!
Hostile Dialect is right – scoring that is a pain in the ass.
I included everyone who responded through Dolores Reborn, and awarded 1.75 points instead of 2 or each person who matched your answer.

Lesson learned: I should’ve gone with a letter other than “e.”
Boy, do I ever feel redeemed! Particularly since I came in dead last after the last contest.
Thanks for another fun game!
It’s fun to put together, but a chore to score. I’m sure I’ll run another one at some point, but if someone else wants to step up in the meantime, be my guest.
I can’t believe I’m the only one who said Arbus…
I don’t see my score/rank – I played in post #14.
Also – what did the different answers score?
Grr. Apparently I entered your scores under 3acresandatruck’s name and didn’t enter their scores at all. Thanks for the heads up.
And the extra player makes each answer worth 1.72 points rather than 1.75. Revised standings:

**Interrobang!? ** : Do you want to stick a note in the openeing thread that the game has now closed
41 out of 57: I’m going with the happy thought that I was more unique than more of the other players.
It doesn’t help with the game at all but makes me feel better.

Can we have another round?
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.
