Re: TD 265: シンクヂッファレントアタック25 (Think Different Attack 25)
What if a league says a team joined in the 1950s and won a number of titles, but none in the Super Bowl era, but in reality joined in the 1990s?

Re: TD 265: シンクヂッファレントアタック25 (Think Different Attack 25)
I think I know which team you're talking about, but the fact that they joined in reality (as you say) in the 1990s would knock them out of this question.

I'm trying to decide whether to guess on bonus answers. You make a blanket statement about incorrect answers costing a lot, but perhaps "bonus" itself implies no penalty for wrong answers. Would you please clarify? Thank you!

It was in an easy-to-miss part that I slipped in the same post as the questions:

Sorede wa, mondai desu. Saitei no sukoa o mezashite ganbatte kudasai. Bonasu mondai ni penaruti arimasen. dozo.
Now then, here are the questions. Try to achieve the lowest score possible. No penalty on bonus questions. Good luck!

My apologies. I read the rules post three times and didn't look at the question header for it! Yeesh; what a start.WooWho? wrote:It was in an easy-to-miss part that I slipped in the same post as the questions:

10 players, STILL nobody sitting behind one of the colors, and plenty of singletons still up for grabs!

About a day and a half left! I may consider extending the deadline since the player count is a bit lower than I'd like at the moment...

While we're waiting, here's the late Kiyoshi Kodama (the guy in my avatar and the original host of Attack 25) delivering his signature catchphrase over and over and over again...

Re: TD 265: シンクヂッファレントアタック25 (Think Different Attack 25)
A note before we begin: What you see in Question 0 was for the purposes of establishing each player's Attack Chance score only. It is not scored like a typical question. So going into this question, everyone starts off with a clean slate.
That said, didn't realize green was going to be such a popular color.
RESULTS FOR QUESTION 1
Here I asked how you say "25" in a bunch of different languages. Can't say I was surprised at what the sheep answer was, but I certainly was not expecting Polish to be such a popular answer. Some impressive gets all around result in four singletons. Poor Blue Lion got some wires crossed, I'll wager--I do that all the time.

Re: TD 265: シンクヂッファレントアタック25 (TD Attack 25) (Q1 Results Posted)
STANDINGS AFTER QUESTION 1
Here's a case of "Didn't Think This Through": kettledrum, by virtue of correctly answering a bonus question and using THROUGH, has the lead with a score of -1. Has that ever happened before, a negative score in a Think Different?
Still a bit of a dogfight in the middle of the pack, but just like the actual show, just because someone breaks out with an early lead doesn't mean they'll have it at the end of the game!
