No wrong answers in Sheep. Was either that or Xena Warrior Princess and she didn’t do me any favours in the TV Round

nothing. sheep its the most popular answer. this is also usually a correct answer, but not always.

Ted_YNWA

Lassykk opened the gap in the end, holding off the chasing pack.

LeVar found the secret to success, submit crazy answers.

I think you mean Xena Warrior Princess...

Xenia Warrior Princess sounds like an Aldi or Lidl knock-off version.

Well done Lassy

Thanks for running this Ted and for picking a topic I know next to nothing about. Clearly that's the key to success!

Sometimes a little intelligence is a dangerous thing with these competitions.

You have to think as 'what would a crazy person submit'

Go Lassy go....
That was a brilliant reveal Ted, thanks for running it

Congrats lassy and well done Ted for great topic and reveal.

Can't believe how low the actual word "weather" scored for W....was it just *too* obvious or...?

Not sure if we totally understood the concept, or if any of us were trying to run up a score or just hit some answers. I have a better idea how the game works now. I thought (incorrectly) that the scoring was based on one point if you hit a sheep and otherwise zero. Not sure why I thought that, the actual format makes sense now that I see it in action. The only difference in approach might be that I would disqualify answers that could not be related in any way to the weather even in a humorous way.

It was fun to participate and I already entered one other sheep quiz.

As you have signed up for other comps, you are a permanent resident of Hotel California here now, you can never leave.

Although it could pass for the Overlook Hotel at times.

May the force 12 be with you.
