Reverse Sheep Quiz XVII - The Yank Strikes Back!!!

[Laxie]

pointless objection on the grounds that the lists provided are inaccurate

Pakistan - 5 or 6th largest population on the planet where virtually every dish is accompanied by rice - but because they don't produce figures they dont appear on the list

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

Laxie - whats the new fail score or are you just gonna change the rules to read "number of distinct answers"?

[Laxie]

if the sheep is worth 4 and there are 7 diff correct answers then how is a fail worth 9?

Oooops.  We're in for a long night then.  I thought it was half the total number distinct of answers...not just correct ones

It was half the number of distinct answers

It got changed to half the number of correct answers

In that case, I'm changing it back for tonight.

Ignore this ^^^...I lied.  Going with total distinct answers as that's how I scored it in the end.

fecking farce - keep to the original rules - sharplea can deal with the scoring no problem.

I know - but Laxie might have been remembering what she'd read in one of the early one's rather than thinking about what she'd actually copied and pasted from the last one

[Laxie]

Right then...on to Q2.  This is easy.
