IWS #53 Results

[JeeberD]

I finally managed to get the results entered and sorted for this, the fifty-third I'm With Stupid Competition. So here we go...

First of all, I want to thank everyone for participating. We had a very nice turnout with 50 participants. There were a number of people who are new to the board who entered and there were also a few old timers who entered their first IWS. Thanks again...

And now on to the answers.

1. Name a vegetable often eaten at Thanksgiving dinner.

This question brought up the age old question, are potatoes vegetables? Personally, I don't think they are. They're tubers, not veggies. But the majority of the board disagreed with me, and potatoes ran away with this question.

Potoatoes - 22
Sweet Potatoes/Yams - 8
Corn - 7
Green Beans - 6
Squash - 2
Broccoli - 1
Tomatoes - 1
Peas - 1
Lettuce - 1
Cranberries - 1

2. Name a brand of watch/timepiece.

I was expecting a little bit of variety for this question, but two brands ran away with this one. Interesting that it was mostly the Europeans who answered Swatch. Guess they're still big over there... :)

Rolex - 24
Timex - 18
Swatch - 4
Seiko - 2
Fossil - 1
Omega - 1

3. How much cash do you usually carry in your wallet?

In the age of the ATM machine I should have expected the top two answers to be multiples of twenty. I feel bad for poor Wasabiak and his answer of $0. And I thought that I was broke right now...

$20 - 20
$40 - 11
$50 - 7
$100 - 6
$30 - 3
$10 - 2
$0 - 1


4. What time do you usually go to bed?

I was expecting there to be some later times here, since it seems there are usually a good number of folks on late at night here with me. I wasn't disappointed.

11pm - 21
12am - 17
10pm - 8
1am - 2
11:30pm - 1
2 am - 1


5. Who is the best scrambling quarterback in NFL history?

This one surprised me a little bit. Sure, I was expecting Randall Cunningham to get a fair number of votes, but I was also expecting a good number for John Elway, Roger Staubach, and Fran Tarkenton. However, Randall ran away with this one. and left the others in the dust.

Oh, and Noop...Joe Montana? :confused:

Randall Cunningham - 23
Fran Tarkenton - 9
Michael Vick - 8
Steve Young - 6
John Elway - 1
Roger "Dodger" Staubch - 1
Donovan McNabb - 1
Joe Montana - 1

6. Name an NBA franchise located in the state of Texas.

I was expecting a pretty decent split for this one since all three of the Texas teams are pretty good right now. My beloved Rockets, however, didn't recieve nearly enough attention. What's wrong with you people??? ;)

Dallas Mavs - 23
San Antonio Spurs - 23
Houston Rockets - 4

Congratulations to our two players who had perfect scores, Ramzavail and bryce! This is Ramzavail's first IWS victory and bryce's second.

Poor Shorty. It looked early on like he was going to win his first but then a bunch of midnights came in and bumped him out of first...

[korme]

DAMN!!! SO CLOSE!!

[VPI97]

Seventh....I think that's my best finish ever.

[Dutch]

Damn, 11th, had I picked potatoes, I would have been tied for 1st.....Damned potatoes....

[ice4277]

Top five, not bad for a first-timer.

[cthomer5000]

I'm happy with my results for a first entry.

[mauchow]

I suck

I kinda feel stupid for not going with "Eagles QB".

[fantastic flying froggies]

Ah ah ah almost dead last !!!

I feel soooooooo old being the only one nominating Elway as the best scrambling QB... I still remember him running all over the place... but that answer just plain killed me...

[Poli]

Claiming my spot in the rear. :)

[MIJB#19]

Unbelievable, MikeVic scored an 1 in the scrambling QB question, the one where Michael Vick was worth an 8 as multiplier...

[sterlingice]

Wow- looks like 50 total participants! Great job, JeeberD!

SI

[fantastic flying froggies]

So who gets to post the next one ? Ramzavail or Bryce ?

[bryce]

i'll defer to ramzavail since i've hosted one already.

[Eaglesfan27]

Woo Hoo! My first time finishing last! :)

[Alf]

So, no IWS 54 yet ?

[TLK]

If nobody minds (ramzavail especially), I have a set of holiday themed questions I used on another board, that I'd be more than happy to host over here......

[Wasabiak]

I can't believe i'm the only one that didn't have any money in my wallet. Wait, i don't even HAVE a wallet. :confused:

[Ramzavail]

Wow - I just realized I had won! ;)

I was away on vacation last week.

PM them to me LionKing and maybe I will use a couple.

I will post one soon, within the next day or two.

Is it just me, or did he write that SIX days ago !

Or are you away on vacation yet again ? ;)

[korme]

As the 3rd place winner in this competition, I am going to post a IWS 54 by the 20th if again we are left with nothing by that point.

This IWS period has been nearly 3 weeks of nothing. So sad!
