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?

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:

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.

Very elegant quiz, BTW. Thanks so much for the craftsmanship.

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...

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.

Post by WooWho? »

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!

1. kettledrum — -1 pt
2. Ivoirians — 0 pts
3. clprez — 1 pt
3. Caboom — 1 pt
