Jeopardy Sheep! (quick and easy)

    Hello, and welcome to Jeopardy Sheep!
    Jeopardy-Sheep.jpg

    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
    Jeopardy-Sheep-Turkey.jpg
    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

    PM sent.

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

    Why must the list be unnumbered?? :confused:

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,468 ✭✭✭✭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....

    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
