The ones that are horrible are “describe a scene in a movie” type questions. Finite answers, even if there are lots of them, are easy! I’ll start scoring this one. ---

We need one more. Somebody posted twice. :rolleyes: Actually, they posted a second set of answers to say what their worst scores would be.
