[QUOTE=winterhawk11] The way I read it, you’re supposed to pick the least popular _correct_ answer for the question, keeping in mind that everybody else is going to try to do the same thing–so the most obvious “least popular” answer will likely end up as the _most_ popular answer. So there’s more than a bit of psychology involved with picking an answer. [/QUOTE] Soooooo… you have to pick the least popular least popular answer (which would be the “most popular” answer, then). I have no idea how this works, guess I’ll just wait to see how it works out. ---

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] Basically, you’re shooting for a score of 10, 1 (unmatched) point per question. [/QUOTE] Oh. ☹ See, I thought we were still trying for a high score, just going for “not the one that would normally be the top answer, but the one on the other end of the spectrum.” In other words, we’re all trying to meet at the bottom. Not each of us trying to mark off our own corner. Ah well, can’t win 'em all (or lose 'em all, as the case may be). ---

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] Basically, you’re shooting for a score of 10, 1 (unmatched) point per question. [/QUOTE] Oh well, I completely missed the point. I also thought we were still trying to come up with the least popular in each question, but still match. If I had known that I ould have picked what would normally be the most popular answer since it would in this case be the least popular answer…or would it?? ---
