RSQ 9,472 - Worth the wait?

[kinboshi]

...and here it is, finally.

The Reverse Sheep Quiz

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

Rules

There are 11 questions, to enter you should PM your answers by Monday 14 April 20:00.  Please put RSQ in the subject line (otherwise you will receive an additional penalty point to your score), and put each answer on a different line (same penalty for ignoring this as well).

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 +5. 

You MUST pass on one question and score a 0 for that question, and you may not pass the final question.

Objections will be entertained, as long as they're entertaining.  However, my decision will be final.  If there is a tie for the lead after the 11 rounds, then there will be a tie-break question.  This will be given on the evening of the reveal and usually involves the first to reply - so if you want to win the tie-break, best to be there for the reveal.

The date of the reveal will be a day or two after the deadline for entries.  I'll confirm shortly.
