Answers in, can I Google now?
Given that it gives you no competitive advantage, my answer has to be "yes". I would however compare it to finding out the Wrestlemania results from the others at school when you've got the VHS to watch on your return home. Fantastically tempting and rather difficult to avoid, but ultimately considerably less fulfilling. Have to agree with this, where's the fun in knowing before the 'reveal'? It's very interesting watching the answers coming in and seeing who's picking what. By the early polls the reveal should be pretty fun with but a length across the principal protagonists (and a few tailed off, granted!) |

I was pondering this as in the live balderdash game you can select your own answers to try and encourage others to pick yours too. In this version though I don't see how this would benefit you. Ultimately, I suppose you can but surely you wont get any points for that? |

Right then.....here they are!!
Please submit the answer which you believe to be correct (obv not your own!) to me by PM by 10pm on 28th January. You will score one point each time one of your answers is selected, and a bonus point each time you select the true answer of a question. In the event of a tiebreak, he who submits this part earliest will be deemed the winner....so crack on!!

Is it wrong that I want to know what tal does, more than I want to see the reveal?
Couldn't care less about the reveal. Might start a thread, on the diary board, called "Tal does, therefore he is..." couldn't resist...... |

I thought it's a point for every time your answer is picked. So picking my own guarantees a point? Or have I completely mis-understood lol.
Not that it matters. We ain't allowed!

I've had 12/15 responses so far...no-one has got them all right, and we've only had one duck. However....the real potential for point scoring comes in having your definitions chosen!!
Once I have remaining submissions in we can go for an early reveal if people so choose? Otherwise happy to give it until next Tuesday evening...

Personally, I think all the fun is in people picking your answers.

yeah this. Are you saying Tighty has not got all 5 right? I was under the impression that he knew all 5 and it seems a bit far fetched that one answer he thought was correct was made up by someone else |
