January 1st will be the first day

All answers will be numerical. In the event of a tie all parties tied will move onto the next day and one of those tied will be eliminated at that stage.

Final day will be best of three questions

No googling obviously

Everybody welcome

I'm sure I'll be one of the first eliminated (or forget to send a answer) but I'll join anyway

There’ll be a tie breaker

Or you’ll be asked for 17 decimal points

Or they’ll both be rolled onto the following day and the one furtherest way then will be eliminated
