2. Stupid has to go to the Emergency Room, how much time goes by from the time of his injury until he is seen by a doctor?


Emergency rooms certainly get a bad rap for how long you have to wait for treatment, but 24 hours? Ouch!


1 Hour - 9
2 Hours - 4

5. Stupid is finally released from the hospital and is now starting to see the medical bills roll in. What kind of insurance does Stupid have?

None- 5
All-State
Anthem
Medicare
Obamacare

6. While going to a rehab appointment, Stupid is involved is a massive car accident. What kind of car was Stupid driving?


I flubbed this one by not being specific enough with the question, with about a 1/3 of the answers only giving a Make and not a model. And since all of the answers that included a model gave two different models (Civic/Accord, Camry/Prius and Mustang/Focus), I didn't think it made sense to combine everything down to just the make.


Honda Accord - 4
Toyota - 3
Toyota Camry - 3
Ford - 2
Ford Mustang - 2
Honda Civic - 2
Ford Focus
Honda
Toyota Prius
VW Jetta

Congrats albion, you have a nice string of winning every 10 contests now since 190.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

[britrock88]

Wow. A score of 16 in a 20-entry IWS.

[cuervo72]

Good thing I didn't enter. I'd have assumed stupid drove a Dodge Stratus.

[Pyser]

wow that was hard. great questions

[Coffee Warlord]

University of Phoenix fucked me.

[kcchief19]

Really did stub my toe. Violated a key IWS rule, being too specific. I was the knife guy, which is part of cooking. Should have been more generic.

I started to say Stanford on the medical school, then remember IWS has an East Coast bias. Changed to Johns Hopkins, but forgot about Harvard. Doh! I thought about Blue Cross/Blue Shield but decided to go market share ... United Healthcare is the largest medical insurance company in the country -- and gets one lousy vote?

By that time, I was lost so I decided to take a shot at Kansas. :)

But IWS driving a Honda? No way. Stupid drives a Ford Focus.

[MrBug708]

Im terrible...haha

[nol]

I saw the answers to the first question and figured I was toast, so I just scrolled to the bottom. For that kind of score to finish 2nd definitely shows how tough and divisive the questions were. I honestly didn't expect many people to go with U. of Phoenix, but it was too funny imagining a doctor's office with a diploma from there hanging on the wall, so I had to go with it.

[Young Drachma]

Oh stupid. I didn't even try this time.

[korme]

Shots fired!

[Izulde]

Funnily enough, one of the regents wants to put a medical school in UNLV:

Regent's idea for Las Vegas-based medical school has merit and drawbacks, observers say - Las Vegas Sun News (http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/mar/28/regents-idea-las-vegas-based-medical-school-has-me/#axzz2Ul1FtC9E)

I don't think it'll ever happen, but I'd love to see one here. It'd help considerably with the terrible quality of healthcare in this city.

(And no, that wasn't me who submitted the UNLV answer).

[Butter]

Thanks, Obamacare!

[MIJB#19]

Stupid loves Japanese cars. :D

[sterlingice]

Bump- where's a new IWS?

SI

[Desnudo]

Thanks, Obamacare!

[QuikSand]

Last call...

[jbergey22]

End of an era?

[PurdueBrad]

If neither of the two people above me run one I'll jump in and run it as I was third. I'll wait until Tuesday to see.

[albionmoonlight]

wow. Fucked that up. New one coming soon.

[Lathum]

Weird. I was just thinking about this last night.
