IWS #117

gstelmack · 08-21-2005, 12:48 PM

IWS #117 - Revenge of the Geeks...

The questions:

1. What antivirus software do you use?

2. Name the best Pixar movie ever.

3. Name a programming language.

4. Who makes the CPU in your computer?

5. What brand of video card do you own?

6. How big is your hard drive?

Now, on with the puffery and minutae…

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s beloved 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 round of the game, me. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and inarguable.

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 high school graduate. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Name a genre of music" and you and four other people answer "Heavy Metal", you each get five points even though the answer is not technically correct.

PM your answers to me. The deadline is 11:59 A.M. EST, Saturday, August 27, 2005 – Answers will be compiled and posted at some point after that. If I have yours when I gather them up you’re in.

Minor edit: meant to set the deadline at 11:59 AM on Saturday, not near midnight. I'll likely be compiling results while my kids' take their naps after lunch.

Mid-week bump. 18 entries so far if memory serves, and there ought to be more geeks here than that. Plus, this is turning into a VERY interesting technological survey.
