Jeopardy Sheep! (quick and easy)

Electric Nitwit

Hello, and welcome to Jeopardy Sheep!


The rules of the game are simple:

• In Jeopardy you have to work out what the question is...
• In Sheep* you have to work out what answer others will give...
• In Jeopardy Sheep you have to do both!

I'll give you (what I think would have been) the sheep answer for a question. You have to work out what the question was, then give me a different answer. You do not need to tell me the question you're thinking of

For example, if I said TURKEY you might think the question was "Name something you'd have for Christmas dinner" and say ROAST POTATOES

Simple, right?

Of course, to give the most popular answer you'll need to agree with everyone else what the question was, and it might not always be obvious

*in case you're new to SHEEP, you score a point for everyone who agrees with you, so you're looking for the most popular answer. Like Family Fortunes. There's no such thing as a wrong answer and, if you think it'll help, you may do whatever research you'd like

Electric Nitwit

So, here's my 15 answers, what are yours?
(Remember, you must give a different answer, I won't accept any of these...)

1. Wonderwall
2. Tyrannosaurus Rex
3. Sheep
4. The Joker
5. Simon Cowell
6. Roy Keane
7. Romeo and Juliet
8. Jameson
9. Italia '90
10. Harry Potter
11. Guinness
12. Earth
13. Dublin
14. Dara Ó Briain
15. Croke Park

Please PM me an unnumbered list

This is a (fairly) quickfire game! You have five days...
Deadline: 8pm, Tues 2nd June
Reveal: 9pm, Tues 2nd June

Good luck

I surely have to get better at these games at some point! Few dodgy guesses in there though.......

Why must the list be unnumbered??

Still trying to get my head around how all these things work!

It's for the program that spits out the results all handy.

If the lists are numbered it creates 2 answers

So...

Wonderwall, and 1.Wonderwall as an example above.

If the runner misses it then the correct scores might not be applied.

It doesn't have to be, don't worry if yours isn't

It's just a little easier for me - there's a tool (the famous sheepulator) that scores these games and it groups answers automatically if they're the same. If there's things like numbers included it sometimes gets confused and needs a little manual intervention but it's no problem

HeidiHeidi

Ah...... I've a feeling I should probably adjust my list then! Didn't have it numbered, but I included the question answers as well (very hard to phrase that right!!)

I'll send in a proper one now....

Cool idea

Ah no, you're grand Heidi. There's always a few entries that need tweaking, it's no problem

Electric Nitwit

I was delighted with myself for thinking of a fantastic name for this game - Shepherdy!

So stupidly proud of myself when I PM'ed that to EN, only to find out someone had gotten there before me. :mad:

You know who you are..... *glares bitterly*

25 entries in a day! Unbelievable
If I'd known, I'd have been tempted to do the reveal this evening!

Tuesday it is though, so if you haven't entered you've plenty of time

In - love the new twist...now. I'll reserve judgement pending my score.

Trigger

In.. I know there is a few twists but went with the most obvious question with each one

I'm willing to bet a large amount that your obvious and my obvious will be glaringly different in a lot of instances!

I'm dying to see how this one pans out....

I’m in

29 entries now. Safe to say there's been a few cases where one person's obvious is different to everyone else's

Doesn't matter, if I don't win it's because the rules are wrong!

37 entries in the sheepulator, but more than happy to add more before tonight's reveal!



One question currently has ten different answers given, a couple only have four. There's a few massive sheep (33 the biggest!) as well, missing those will be costly...

Electric Nitwit

About an hour left if you want to enter. Reveal at 9pm, reveal thread this way
