Overall I think there's a nice spread, with 1 eliminator. There was one question which failed and so I made a judging decision to group them more tightly (which broke a tie for 1st). I put an * next to the answers I came up with ahead of time (alas I wouldn't have won my own IWS).

Classes always seemed so long, even though they were less than an hour. How long were Stupid's classes?

50 - 8
45 - 7*
30 - 2
55 - 1
60 - 1

50 was running away with it until the later entries made this close so that was good.


Stupid was no brain (obviously) but Stupid always did enjoy which academic class?

The first of three similar questions. I think it played out about as well as I had hoped. Curious whether people liked it or not.

History - 7
English - 4
PE - 4 I added the word academic at the last minute and am glad since I think PE would have run away with this otherwise given that 4 people put it anyway.
Math - 2*
Science - 2

While it wasn't Stupid's best or favorite class, for which class did a great teacher help Stupid learn the most?

Math - 6*
English - 6
Science - 3
History - 3
Sex Ed - 1

I think this was my favorite question in that I was curious to see what subject people thought a really great teacher could make a difference in. Given the next question's results I am surprised Math did so well here.

Of course there was that one class. The one Stupid hated. Which one was it?

Math - 13
English - 3
Science - 1
History - 1
PE - 1

Looking back on it, Stupid can't believe that what was the popular fashion?

Here's the question where I ended up grouping more questions than I'd expected. For the classes I'd always planned to make them generic so an Algebra would become a Math. Here I had planned to let it ride out, but when no answer got more than 2, I decided it didn't group enough so I created some bigger categories.

Bad pants/shorts - 8
Bad hair - 5
Bad clothing - 2
Bad Jackets - 2
Bad socks - 1
Bad shirts - 1

Stupid can't look back without thinking of Stupid's first love. What was the first love's best quality?

Breasts - 7
Looks - 6
Being Easy - 2
Smile - 2
Brains - 1
Eyes - 1

I'm not sure what I expected for this answer, but did appreciate the fact that the 7 breast responses phrased it about 5 different ways.

And our results...

I liked the 3 similar questions back to back to back. Question 6 is an onstant classic. Loved the review text!

So much for thinking Stupid would still answer 1 hour for the first question.

This is my great fear in this competition.

I went with the cardinal rule of "always choose round numbers" for #1, and talked myself out of 50 minutes. Oh well, it wouldn't have made much difference.
