Capital Cities of the World - PEEHS [Closing: 30th April]

HeidiHeidi

Could one enter two lists of answers for this?

To test a theory, like...... be interested to see which would do better.... rest assured that on past performance indicators, neither would have a snowball's chance in hell of winning!

Theoretically I have no issue with two submissions. Could someone clever than me advise if this would result in an unfair advantage, and disadvantage other contestents?

nothing

Eeep my geography is woeful, but I'm in, and hopefully I'll learn some new capitals in the reveal!

quickbeam

Okay, am thinking that two entries probably not a good idea - you'd know to avoid duplicates between the two enteries which isn't someting that any other player can benefit from.

You could run the test without entering, just compare your answers after the reveal.

What's the penalty for asking is the more pertinent question I feel.

quickbeam

If Heidi, or anyone, wants to send a second set, I can plug in to the sheepulator after the contest and let them know the effect it would have had if they were included instead of, or as well as the original, official answers submitted.

I wasn't trying to rig or game my entry, honest!!


Yeah, I get why two entries might/would skew the results.


When are you closing this, so I don't miss the deadline.....

Whenever I get bored waiting for new entries :P

Will probably give it another week anyway.

Excellent approach!


Far too much gorgeous sunshine out there to be soaked up, to be poring over capital cities that I can't remember :cool:


Will get my list(s) in to you soon..... when the sun goes in!

Never did one of these. So I just PM quickbeam with the least popular capital in each of 15 sets? And whats a PEEHS?

The opposite of SHEEP and yes, if you can work out what will be least popular... :pac:

Welcome

Yep, what you think is the most obscure or least popular capital in each group. The fewer people who agree with you, the lower your score for that round. Lowest overall score wins.

Cool, should be easy enoug...

Oh damn, UK and Ireland are in the same group. That's one correct answer less

One thing I've found is people often go for the most obscure answer , meaning it scores low while they avoid the 'obvious ' ,hence high scoring , answer!
I think.

I think.

In Peehs you want to score low though. So unless by low you mean bad which is actually high. But then if you go for obvious and score low meaning good, then others might try that strategy too and then obvious becomes high meaning bad so you should actually go for obscure after all.

Correctly identifying capital cities is a strong subject for me.
Choosing good PEEHS answers, however, is a far more difficult prospect.

I'm in. Very happy with my answers but will no doubt be infuriated come the reveal
