sKeith

ace scores as 1, not 0??

Green&Red

Just got killed off in WW so you now have my full attention

How come so many went for Neptune?
I thought Jupiter would be a sheep

The Crazy Cat Lady

my knowledge of science is awful, fair warning

quickbeam

How's that marking work?

How is this marking going?

I had copied and pasted rules from a different peehs thread and only realised after i had a heap of submissions that it said 0 for Ace. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference to scoring anyway.

Sign up op says aces are 0 points.

rainbowtrout

For clarity. Score for ace is zero. Score for incorrect is sheep score + 1, all other scores as is.

Also wondering here considering I'm fourth from bottom and plenty of others got the same answer

Question 2: Name a Nobel Prize winning scientist (Chemistry, Physics, Medicine/Physiology)

Three More Big Sleeps

Dammit, my reverse-pyschology - "Earth" - didnae work

quickbeam

Yeah, but how is anyone on more than 8, when the Sheep scored 8?

I scored 10, but only 5 people gave my answer?

Baggly wrote: »

ah right, i may have skimmed


so, did the op explain how i'm on 11, after picking a 4?

Tauriel

Are you sure that's not the table after question 2?

Should I not have 8 instead of 15?

Baggly

Lets allow the new game mod some space to answer gang.

Damn you lassy

Three More Big Sleeps

Whilst this is only my third, I think, PEEHS, this is the first time I've remembered to login for the reveal. Oddly and delightfully exciting.

Thanks, trout, for hosting.

(Oh, and I hope everyone is keeping safe and well.)

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Looks like I'm on course for a potential Wooden Spoon finish, thanks to all you...

Ah no trouty, you're doing great. Most posts there probably didn't see the other ones, people were just eager in checking

rainbowtrout

After Round 2 bolgbui41 still leading in first place...and Niska an early contender for wooden spoon.
