JeeberD · 09-09-2004, 09:26 PM

I got votes on question 1!

Pyser · 09-09-2004, 09:26 PM

WOOOOT!!!!!!!

worst to first? if not, pretty close. i usually suck at this. i guess ahbready and TRO and i will figure out who takes over for #86.

Sun Tzu · 09-09-2004, 10:39 PM

What are the odds that Dolamite voted for himself on #1...

*edit* What are the odds that Fritz voted for himself on #1...

Maple Leafs · 09-09-2004, 11:28 PM

I'm surprised question #2 didn't see any votes for Coulter or Franken.

I'd also like to express pride at only getting a 3 on my own question (#1).

Desnudo · 09-09-2004, 11:34 PM

These need to be made harder, too many multiple winners lately.

pennywisesb · 09-09-2004, 11:41 PM

Cute whoever put Pujols down for the best 2nd baseman in the NL.

tucker342 · 09-10-2004, 12:09 AM

well... I didn't get last...

ahbrady · 09-10-2004, 12:24 AM

Woo hoo! I have entered the last three and actually thought I would do better in the other two. I'm not sure if that makes me more like stupid or not, but I'll enjoy the win even if it has to be shared. I don't have any questions to offer at this point, so I will let the other two winners slug it out or share if they want.

ahbrady · 09-10-2004, 12:28 AM

dola

I usually go with my initial thought to each question, but I hesitated on three of these. My first thought was to put Bill O'Reilly for #2 and Johnny U for #5. The last question I really wasn't sure what to put at all. I wasn't sure if a specific time or a general time like evening would win. I got lucky on that one.

I know my answers weren't very good, but who is Johnny Wilkinson?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Vince · 09-10-2004, 01:52 AM

Exactly as I friggin predicted it. Perfect on everything but the political question, and I totally should have gotten the political question. I asked my girlfriend after submitting my results, and she immediately said Rush. I smacked my head. I could have added a 4th title to my belt...

English Rugby team Fly-Half

. Whenever there is a baseball question, since I know I knopw nothing about baseball, I just put a random other name.

Note that this is me who put Georges W Bush on the commentator question (note to self, I should have at least tried to put Miachael Moore, but it didn't cross my mind....)

stevew · 09-10-2004, 04:27 AM

Who is quiksand?

SportsBizzer · 09-10-2004, 04:42 AM

Well, at least I only placed second-from-last.

Even despite my dismal showing....I'm coming back for the next IWS. Then again, maybe I'm just out of medication.

Also note that I intentionally mucked up my answer to the question about hair color just to proudly proclaim my obsession with redheads.

TRO · 09-10-2004, 10:01 AM

These were all fairly straight forward questions, I was expecting a huge 10 way tie for first

TRO · 09-10-2004, 10:01 AM

Dola, Pyser, you have a PM.

I figured the last one was a deadly question because it was non-specific (and I succombed to it like many others). But it was really the only scatter question. The other 5 were elimination questions and there need to be at least 2 scatters to break things up.

Still, I liked the questions for the most part. It's just tough for people to strike a balance and make scatter questions that don't need to be Google'd. As can be seen by the high turnout here, it's better to have this than multiple questions that you have to Google.

SI

Pyser · 09-10-2004, 01:11 PM

the next IWS promises to be a bit more "open ended"
