The point of the game is pretty simple. In a PM to me, answer each of the 10 questions below. Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you.

The point of the game is pretty simple. In a PM to me, answer each of the 10 questions below.

Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. You don't want a unique answer, you have to answer with what you think everyone else will put.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: if 20 people play then its 5 pts per answer. If 4 people match the same answer then that means they each get 4 * 5 (20pts) for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If you need to comment or clarify a question then do it in thread please. And if you could reply once you've sent a PM it'd keep the thread alive Thanks!

JUST LIKE THIS:

1. Dr Maria O' Brien
2. Kathy Wells
...

The game will end when (if!) we have 20 entrants.

Good luck!

1. Name a female scientist
2. Name an actress
3. Name a female political leader
4. Name a sportswoman
5. Name a female singer
6. Name a female writer
7. Name a businesswoman
8. Name a queen
9. Name a feminist
10. Name a murderess

Yeah, they can be dead. Murdering people though for the sake of the quiz is a no-no.

patmac, you can resubmit an answer if you want to based on this new and exciting information !

Actually they were for me at first but looking at some replies there were a lot of "Doh!" moments when I didn't think of someone who was bloody obvious.

Great idea for a quiz.

PM Sent.

Ponster, when is the deadline for entries?

Can I suggest a rule to keep the game fair, that there's to be no discussion of possible answers until after the deadline, so as not to influence people's choices?

I'll leave it run a little longer. If I get 20 replies then it makes it easier to work out the scoring (5pts per answer rather than 5.55555)
