IWS #100!!!!

[Karlifornia]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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. 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.

PM your answers to me, RFUS . Deadline is 11:59 pm PST on Wednesday, February 23rd.

The Questions

Welcome to IWS #100, home to the world's biggest stars!! Billy Crystal was asked to host, but he was too busy filming 'Forget Paris 2: Boogaloo Electrique' to reply. So here I am, your host, RFUS! So who do we have here tonight? Oh, I see we have Solecismic in the audience tonight. Give a wave there, Sol. Hey, does anyone even play FOF anymore!?! ZING! POW! You know I love ya! Oh there's JeeberD, how are you doing, Jeebs? The last time this guy went 10 minutes without posting, Don Haskins was still wiping champagne from his eyes!! Oh, I kid! Alright this monologue is going south quickly.....

For this edition of IWS, I decided to somehow relate all of the questions to the number 100. Now, you're going to notice that I had to stretch slightly to keep a few of these questions related to the topic. Best of luck to the contestants.


Question 1: Every holiday season, there seems to be one toy that parents will kill for. Over the last 100 years, which one of these toys was the most annoying?

Question 2: The Simpsons is one of a handful of sit-coms to have reached 100 episodes, much less 300. What is the most well-known catchphrase or "catchword" from The Simpsons?

Question 3: April 10th is the 100th day of the year 75% of the time. This is also the birthday of child star Haley Joel Osment. Which is the best film featuring Haley Joel Osment?

Question 4: If you were forced to bet $100 on an illicit street race, which American make and model (don't worry about the year) of car would you want to drive?

Question 5: If you conducted 100 FOF drafts, which position would be taken #1 overall most often?

Question 6: Of the last 100 years, which rock band/musician was the most important?

[lynchjm24]

Your time and date line seems to have a few mistakes.

[Karlifornia]

Ever heard of time travel? :) Thanks for catching that.

Question 3: April 10th is the 100th day of the year 75% of the time.

In fairness it's ABOUT 75% of the time since every 1000 years there is no leap year which is why there was no leap day in 2000.

Oh and sent. I have no idea how I'll do. I feel real good about only one answer.

It's even more complicated than that, actually.

From memory -- isn't it no leap year on the century year, even though it otherwise would be, but excepting the millennium years, which are in fact leap years? (meaning that 2000 was a leap year)

2000 = yes
1900 = no
1800 = no
1700 = no
1600 = yes

Well, we've got 50 entries. Plenty of time left to enter. Something that could be unprecedented is happening on one of the questions.

[Desnudo]

You're such a tease.

[General Mike]

bump?

[Karlifornia]

The entries are coming in really slowly now, but I'm sticking with the original deadline, because I just turned 21 today so this weekend is kind of wild.

[MIJB#19]

50+ entries? That can't be a good sign for my chances, unless I got lucky on the car question.

(That was figure of speech, I had a pretty wild turning-24 weekend myself :).)

Okay, one last bumperoo before I go to work. I get off at 10 pst, so, assuming there are no entries in those last two hours, I'll get going with the results, and hopefully have them by tomorrow night or Friday morning.
