IWS #212 - Stupid Sings a Rainbow

[cuervo72]

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s omnipotent and most truly beloved founding pantheon.

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. Yes, that word "product" here in the States means that they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. Just don't be an asshat, and this should end well.

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 utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

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 "What is the greatest TV comedy of all time" and you answer "Gunsmoke" along with 13 other people who are obviously TRO using different aliases, you each regrettably will be awarded 14 points -- even though the correct answer is "I Love Lucy."

Please PM your answers to me with "IWS #212" in the title. The contest will run until 3PM on Wednesday, March 12th.

This is a great set- will require some pondering :)

side note:
I've often wondered what companies are most associated with various colors; for instance if you ask someone what company is brown, what percentage say UPS or for red, what percentage say Coke or Apple or something else? And is it worth trying to spend ad revenue trying to be associated with a color

SI

[NobodyHere]

Ummm, so when is this ending?

[cuervo72]

Ummm, so when is this ending?

Whoops, the calendar is apparently getting ahead of me. March 12.

[Radii]

[ntndeacon]

[Suburban Rhythm]

Sent...either total genius or total failure on #6

[claphamsa]

I think 5 will be the eliminator

[Coffee Warlord]

I think all of these will be the eliminator.

[TRO]

If I ask "What is the greatest TV comedy of all time" and you answer "Gunsmoke" along with 13 other people who are obviously TRO using different aliases, you each regrettably will be awarded 14 points -- even though the correct answer is "I Love Lucy."

:deadhorse:

[sterlingice]

:D

SI

[stevew]

Kate Upton the top.

[PurdueBrad]

Sent...either total genius or total failure on #6

I had a brilliant answer for #6 but I left it off because I figured I would be on my own with it.

[nol]

I had a brilliant answer for #6 but I left it off because I figured I would be on my own with it.

I'm gonna be surprised if my answer to #6 ends up NOT being unique.

[cuervo72]

Bump! 22 entries so far. A good start, but would like to see many more (it's fun to see if some answers start to pull away).

[CU Tiger]

Im having a hard time even answering a few of these...Im going to send mine in but expect a MMR result :D

[StLee]

#6 was impossible. :(

[Vince, Pt. II]

Great questions, this was tough.

[Alf]

I liked it (and will probably fail miserably as always).

[britrock88]

3 will be interesting.

[Lathum]

sent- this is going to be ugly

[kcchief19]

Calling my shot … I will record the lowest IWS score ever. Has anyone ever scored 1?

[Logan]

This was a pain in the ass to complete!

[MIJB#19]

Calling my shot … I will record the lowest IWS score ever. Has anyone ever scored 1?I'm convinced many have tried and accomplished that with obscure answers.

[sterlingice]

Sent. Ugh, that was brutal but it certainly was unique. It wasn't like there was some Googling to be had, it was just impossible to try and come up with what others would say.

Kudos to you on this one, cuervo72

SI

[Umbrella]

This is the first one where I wasn't confident on any of my answers.

[DanGarion]

Are you sure this isn't Make Mine Rare?

[cuervo72]

Sent. Ugh, that was brutal but it certainly was unique. It wasn't like there was some Googling to be had, it was just impossible to try and come up with what others would say.

Kudos to you on this one, cuervo72

SI

Thanks. Yeah, this is a little tricky because there are quite a few answers for all of them (even if #6 seems to be requiring a little more thought than others).

Apologies to the folks who have submitted in the past couple days who have not gotten confirmation PMs, which I did earlier. But, rest assured I am keeping room in my in-box (saved all sent messages that I still had, dating back to 2003) and will check and recheck all entries. Looking forward to entering them into the spreadsheet tonight to see how the numbers are progressing.

[ColtCrazy]

Sent mine late yesterday. Some answers seem obvious while I have no idea what to expect on others.

[cuervo72]

I'm gonna be surprised if my answer to #6 ends up NOT being unique.

40 entries! nol, I didn't see one from you...
