There are 11 questions. PM me your answers by 11pm on Thursday 26th March. The answers will be given on the reveal thread on Sunday night at 7.30pm
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 hippo, with the corresponding hippo score.
You can't search for answers on the internet. Bear in mind I've been around on here ages so have a pretty good idea of how stupid most of you are - any signs of genuine intelligence or knowledge will be viewed with suspicion.
If you give an incorrect answer, this will be marked as a FAIL, and you will receive the hippo score + one half the number of distinct correct answers given, rounded up.
You MUST pass on one, and only one, question and score a 0 for that question.
The need for seconding objections has been removed - if you want to object to any answer, say OBJECTION, and the Questionmaster will assemble the Council of Adjudication to make a ruling.
Unsuccessful objections will be punished.

I am in .... I predict a rather uneventful mid to bottom 1/3rd finish.
Which I will deem a roaring success.
