IWS #213 -- March Madness and Stupidity (open until 6pm Central, Wed. 3/19)

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. You will respect my authoritah.

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 "Who coined the phrase 'don't be an asswhite' and you answer "not jbmagic" along with 13 other people who are obviously jbmagic using different aliases, you each regrettably will be awarded 14 points -- even though the correct answer is "definitely jbmagic"

Thanks to Cartman for running this, I just don't have the time.

Tough one indeed.

maybe I should give it a go, can't do bad on things I don't know

24 hours to go bump

I'm not going to be around tomorrow afternoon, as I have to make a trip to San Antonio for a meeting. So the results likely won't be posted until late tomorrow night.

Get those entries in!

cartman · 03-19-2014, 08:02 AM

10 hour bump

cartman · 03-19-2014, 12:05 PM

6 hour bump.

I'm heading out now and won't be checking in until I get back from San Antonio. I'll acknowledge any entries that come in once I check in tonight and add them to the spreadsheet. Good luck to everyone who entered!
