IWS #121: Math and Science Edition
The questions:
1. Name a high school science course. 2. Name an element. 3. Name a piece of lab equipment. 4. Name a prime number. 5. Besides Einstein, name a mathematician. 6. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear Geometry? The Rules The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s surprisingly wise founding fathers. 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. Highest score wins. No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game, me. 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 inarguable. 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 high school graduate. However... Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Who will win this year's Heisman Trophy?" and you and four other people answer "Vince Young", you each get five points even though the answer is Brad Smith. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hall of Heroes Ahbrady - IWS#15, IWS#41, IWS#85, IWS#100 Airhog - IWS#1 Albionmoonlight - IWS#30, IWS#50, IWS#101 Anxiety - IWS#49 Archer219 - IWS#18, IWS#100 Ardent Enthusiast - IWS#6 Atatange1 - IWS#79 Barkeep49 - IWS#62, IWS#100, IWS#117 bbor - IWS#23, IWS#26 Bearcat729 - IWS#82, IWS#93 BishopMVP - IWS#36 Blade - IWS#13 BrianD - IWS#106 Bryce - IWS#40, IWS#53 Buccaneer - IWS#47 Bsak16 - IWS#6, IWS#9, IWS#17 cartman - IWS#48, IWS#100 Chief Rum - IWS#45, IWS#56, IWS#95 Cornhuskerly - IWS#46 Crim - IWS#57 Cthomer5000 - IWS#54, IWS#75 Cuervo72 - IWS#27, IWS#38 Dangarion – IWS#100 Desert Dweller - IWS#6 Desnudo - IWS#88, IWS #120 Digamma - IWS#14, IWS#92 DukeRulesMAB - IWS#76 Dutch - IWS#90 EagleEye11 - IWS#54 EagleFan - IWS#41 Frozenrope - IWS#86 George W Bush- IWS#80, IWS#84 Glengoyne - IWS#71 gold101 - IWS#63 GoSeahawks - IWS#64 gstelmack - IWS#116 Hammer755 - IWS#38 HeavyReign - IWS#23 Henry296 - IWS#12 HornedFrogPurple - IWS#10 JeeberD - IWS#44, IWS#52, IWS#61, IWS#87, IWS#91, IWS#110 Jesse Ewiak – IWS#100 Joe Canadian - IWS#29 John Lynch - IWS#10 kingfc22- IWS#75 kurtism - IWS#79 Logan – IWS#100 Maple Leafs - IWS#34, IWS#84, IWS#94, IWS#113, IWS#118 Marmel - IWS#8 Masked - IWS#22, IWS#30, IWS#31, IWS#33, IWS#100 mauboy1 - IWS#77 MIJB#19 - IWS#59, IWS#69, IWS#117 Msf518 - IWS#11, IWS#15, IWS#35, IWS#39, IWS#100 Neuqua - IWS#19 NoMyths - IWS#46 Noop - IWS#46 Nothingman - IWS#6, IWS#45 ntndeacon - IWS#81 Oliegirl - IWS#72, IWS#81 Panerd - IWS#3, IWS#84, IWS#89, IWS#107 PineTar - IWS#108 Pjstp20 - IWS#42 Primelord - IWS#11 Pyser - IWS#85 QuikSand - IWS#9, IWS#16, IWS#18, IWS#24, IWS#32, IWS#58, IWS#66, IWS#70, IWS#73, IWS#78, IWS#83, IWS#93, IWS#100, IWS#103, IWS#111 Qwikshot - IWS#5 Radii – IWS#100, IWS#106 RadioFriendlyUnitShifter - IWS#81, IWS#97, IWS#99 Ramzavail - IWS#53 Raven Hawk - IWS#68 IWS#96 RendeR - IWS#6 RonnieDobbs - IWS#37 RPI-Fan - IWS#9 Samdari - IWS#21 ScottVib - IWS#9 Solecismic - IWS#83 spleen1015 - IWS#98 SplitPersonality1 - IWS#4, IWS#104 Sterlingice - IWS#28, IWS#31, IWS#35, IWS#51 Subby - IWS#107, IWS#110, IWS#112 Sublime - IWS#25 Suicane75 - IWS#109 Swaggs - IWS#2, IWS#35 Tasan - IWS#65 ThunderingHERD - IWS#114, IWS#119 Timmae - IWS #115 Tredwel - IWS#6, IWS#9, IWS#20, IWS#43, IWS#67, IWS#84 TRO - IWS#7, IWS#9, IWS#12, IWS#85, IWS#102, IWS#109 tucker342 - IWS#60 Vince - IWS#37, IWS#46, IWS#62 Wbatl1 – IWS#105 Whar - IWS#75 Wheels - IWS#55 WSUCougar – IWS#105 Last edited by panerd : 09-28-2005 at 08:26 AM.

Now that's what I like. No research. Just 6 questions with no obvious answer, but not hard to make an educated IWS guess either.

I am going change the due date to this Friday at 2:30 CST. I already have 27 responses, so this one is going to be big. I don't know that anyone will get them in over the weekend anyways and it will give the winner some time to set a new one up.

This IWS is so good that even I entered - first one since 50 contests ago. 4 of the 6 I'm confident about, #4 and #6 are going to be killers.

This is a fantastic set of questions, I think.

Bump.
Up to 45 entries in just over a day, pretty impressive. Trying to get 50 and still waiting for "Mr. IWS" Quiksand to submit his answers. We might as well not play if there is no Quiksand response. |

Interesting questions. These are the type of questions I like - for the most part, an answer popped into my head immediately.
