The Forum Games Sheepish Advent Calendar 2020!

Electric Nitwit · 2020-11-24 11:54:09

One week until December, so it's time to roll out... The Forum Games Sheepish Advent Calendar 2020! Like last year, there will be one Christmas themed question each day from the 1st to Christmas Eve. Unlike last year, the answer each day will be a number. Your score will depend on how close your answer is to everyone…

I had no clue, my sister in law said a number, went with that. She seems confident. Me... less so.

Just rang the father to get his opinion.

He'll be entering this competition instead of me next year.

This was a question on House of Games recently!

Think I can remember the answer though?

(Mind you it was the Average Round, so all their answers were miles off - but the correct answer was given)

I usually wait for the reveal rather than Googling the answer after submission but curiosity got the better of me today.

I wish it hadn't.

Q22: The record for the world's largest snowman was set in Donnersbachwald, Austria, in February this year. How tall was it, in metres?

Just give Nitty your home address. He will come around to your house every morning and shout a random question through your window.
Then come back again every night to shout out the answer.
He will knock your window in the afternoon too and shout 'Bump! Bump! It's the lunchtime bump!'

The worst part is I read it wrong and thought the worst answers would win haha

I gave you a (very) unintentional compliment.

Ah to be fair to 2D, the troll label is a bit of a stretch... Needs a bit of work on his banter game is all...
