Well, Priceguy’s entry makes 50 except for :

Did you really cheat in such a trivial pursuit? Why would one do such a thing? And what would constitute an appropriate punishment?

Judge: “Whack his pee-pee!”

Waterboarding would be a little too extreme, I think.

We could fart in his general direction. :smiley:

Sorry Dawson, jali made it 50 players. That is not counting wendigo1974 who was honest enough to admit copy & pasting, and friend elucidator who gets a special prize for the funniest answers.

So that closes it. I will try to have the scoring later this afternoon.

I will see if Skip will edit the title, so maybe we can start another game.

The winner is, er the winners are:

anyrose and robardin

Congrats, rosie and robardin!

Cool cut-n-paste, 5 time champ. I haven’t seen that technique before. Thanks for hosting!!

(Where’s the next one? These things are soooo addicting!)

:mad: Hold everything :smack:
Somebody spelled it “All Things Cosnidered” and I missed it. The Subtotal function can only count exact matches. There were actually 14 points for the NPR question. I thought I fixed it.

Our corrected winner is anyrose with 464.

I am really sorry,robardin. Yet, still again Excel makes me look like an idiot. :o

Hey, I’m just happy to finish in the Top 5. I think I’ve only managed that once before.

Often I get undercut because I forget that I should be putting in an answer I think will be the most popular, rather than what I think/know is the right one! Like a recent one which asked to name “one of of Santa’s eight reindeer” whose name didn’t rhyme with another reindeer’s, and the first thing I thought was that a lot of people might say “Rudolph” even though he is “The Ninth Reindeer” invented in the 1950s. Shoulda gone with that thought.

I am curious about the scoring though…

You are too kind. If I had posted the scoring first this would not have happened.

The coding comes from either the # button or php button. First time I ever used it.

That was the 5th game I hosted. I am out of questions at the moment. So whoever wants to host one, please do.

Ah, he is learning! :wink:

Sorry, I didn’t think to warn anyone running these games to post the scoring first.

I, too, was a bit surprised by how poorly Venus did compared with Aphrodite. My first though was the latter, but surely, I thought, the Roman name would be more popular. Guess I was wrong.

What’s the rationale behind scoring the King Abdullahs differently? I think they should all be lopped into one category. And “All Things Considered”/“All Things Consnidered.” Come on!
