IWS #66

Tasan · 05-05-2004, 02:38 PM

A decent spattering of general knowledge, firmly anchored to our realm with some sports questions.

1. Which of these three news outlets is better: CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC?
2. Name a country participating in the Euro currency.
3. What is the greater feat: no-hitter, hit for the cycle, or hit 4 HRs in a game?
4. Name a Republican president not named Reagan, Bush, or Nixon.
5. Name a major automaker other than Ford, Chevy, or Chrysler.
6. What position in hockey is the best to build a franchise around?

The Rules

The rules are the same as all FOFC "I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Highest score wins.

No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "name a color of the rainbow," and you and four other people responded "black" - you get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer to the question.

Please submit entries via PM no later than 11:59 pm EST on Monday, May 10th.
(giving some extra time due to the all important Mother's Day weekend)
