RSQ - Blondepoker's Got Tal Entertainment

[titaniumbean]

Blatantly part of an elaborate hustle.

I wish.

[Tal]

The gentlest of reminderettes that the deadline for submissions is 7pm this very evening.

I've been impressed and amused by the imagination on display in selection methods and hopefully we can have some fun together going through the card tomorrow.

19 of you so far, so we are prime.

2 more for a Fibonacci number; 4 more for the next prime; 6 more for a square; 8 more for a cube.

[Tal]

An amuse bouche for you:



Amazing what you can find on the internet...



I've yet to see any demons on the ward and I'm particularly observant.

[Tal]

A nice, round 20 of you have submitted entries.

See you tomorrow evening for the squeeze death by YouTube reveal.

Don't worry, it is the sum of two squares at least. Every cloud...

Oh bravo!

We can have some fun tonight.

See you at 2³ o'clock then

[Tal]

Just under an hour to kick off (which, in an RSQ seems to be true in at least two senses).

It shall be erudite, engaging and edutaining, much like this:



If it doesn't make you smile, tune in tomorrow for the results as this evening will likely not be your china cup of Earl Grey.

[Tal]

What ho!



The time has come for us to go through your answers and to see how you did.

From my limited exposure to these RSQ reveals, I understand that the rules are roughly similar to those on a pirate ship on the set of an Errol Flynn film being staged by chimpanzees, so I’m sure you’ll help keep the energy levels high.

First off, some numbers.

When you selected your pick to each question, you had the choice of eleven, so there were 19 other people who could choose either yours or any of the other ten options. This means that the average score is 11 x 2.72 = 30. That is your magic number. If you got less than 30, you are ahead of the game; more than 30, hang your head in shame.

A few people said it was just random, but others identified that there were patterns available. People generally choose lower numbers and anyone that chose 9 for every answer would have won.

Anyway, let’s get on with the quiz.
