Reverse Sheep game

Reverse Sheep Game:

Saw this on 2+2 last night, figured it would probably work on Blonde too as the Blonde Quiz was quite popular.

The goal for the participants is to try and think of an answer that they believe no one else will know/submit.

Rules

Here's the deal.

There are 11 questions, if you want in PM me your answers for them to me by Sunday Feb 22nd 8pm, each answer on a different line please.

Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer. So you want to go for answers that you think will be less commonly given. Levelling commonly happens. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.

You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers. Just read the questions, wrack your brain, think ‘what would Andrew T do’ etc… These aren’t meant to be impossible questions the skill isn’t in thinking of an answer, it’s in thinking up an uncommon answer

If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score + one half the number of distinct answers given, rounded up.

You MUST pass on one question and score a 0 for that question.

Any questions post in this thread (or PM), but don’t post your answers obv. I’ll do a reveal thread sometime Monday if we get a few participants, if no one enters then meh, it passed sometime at work.

Anyway to the questions:

Name a multiple WSOP bracelet winner (WSOPE bracelets do not count)

Name a hotel on the Las Vegas strip

Name a movie with ‘Vegas’ in the title

Name a recurring Simpsons character, whose surname is not Simpson.

Name a prime minister of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, anyone from 1720 to the present day counts.

Name a country whose flag is red and white (no other colours)

Name one of the 15 best selling works of fiction (novels) in history. Religious texts don't count, plays don't count, compilations of poetry don't count.

Name a suffix of a professional English football team who play in the Premier League, Championship, League One, or Two. FYI Rangers as in Queens Park Rangers doesn’t count

Name a standard chess piece

Name one of the top 20 websites (traffic), according to alexa.com

Name a city that has hosted the modern Summer Olympics (1896 onwards). However this city must not be the capital of its country e.g London doesn’t count.

A couple of people who've sent me anwsers haven't passed on any questions. Even though all questions are answerable, it's in the rules for this that you must use a pass. In some other versions of the game (one with tougher questions) then there's a points bonus for not passing, but not in this game.

You can pass on one question and score a 0 for that question. No bonus is given for holding on to your pass, so you might as well use it. You MUST use a pass

This doesn't make sense - here you've said you can use a pass, you might as well use a pass and then you must use a pass.

...

Would it be better to reword that as:

You MUST pass on one question and score a 0 for that question.
