No. If you read the rules, all answers that are not matched, i.e. all answers that have a 1 - are scored 0. > [@rules](#): > > Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. **No matches = 0 points**. ---
