IWS #129

Butter · 01-17-2006, 10:03 AM

Answers are due by Noon EST Friday, January 20th. As always, please PM your answers to me.

The questions:

1. Name any European professional soccer team.

2. How many lines are on a typical business telephone?

3. Name any NFL penalty.

4. Name an event in the Winter Olympics.

5. Aside from winner Brokeback Mountain, which Golden Globe nominated drama has the best chance at winning the Best Picture Oscar: A History of Violence, The Constant Gardener, Good Night and Good Luck, or Match Point?

6. Name a Cincinnati Bengal offensive lineman, past or present.

The Rules (copied from IWS #128):
The rules are the same as previous 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 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 college graduate. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "What college football team will win the 2007 national championship?" and you and four other people answer "Notre Dame", you each get five points even though the correct answer is Ohio State.

I have no fucking clue what #2 is supposed to mean...

Edit: Nevermind, I'm a moron...

You know when you hear the receptionist say "Mr. Smith, call on line 2" or "Mr. Jones, your wife in on line 3"

I think he is just asking how many lines (of that nature) the typical business phone has.

JeeberD · 01-17-2006, 10:13 AM

Yeah, right after I hit "submit" I figured out what he meant. At first I thought he was talking about the rows of numbers on the phone or something... :o

I thought the same thing at first, but figured it out before I hit submit

One more bump. I have 19 entrants so far, let's make it a nice round 20, or even go for 30.

MIJB#19 · 01-19-2006, 06:09 PM

Yeah, go for high participation. Low participation didn't work out well for me at all last time!

Up to 27... four more hours to make that 30+. Get those entries in! It's a tight race at the top.
