Semi Irish Alphabet Sheep (Sheep at its most luxurious!) - THE REVEAL!!!!

    This game works like regular sheep in that your goal is to give the most popular answer for each item. There is one important twist for this game:

    EACH OF YOUR ANSWERS MUST START WITH A DIFFERENT LETTER OF THE ALPHABET. There are 26 questions, so that means that you will have to use each letter exactly once. Any answers which start with a letter you've already used will score zero.

    Due to the nature of this game, all answers which start with different letters will be grouped separately, even if they refer to the same thing. For example, if asked to name a country, "America", "USA", and "The United States of America" would be grouped separately or if asked to name a supermodel, "Heidi Klum" and "Klum, Heidi" would not be grouped together.

    This was the list of questions

    A color
    A county in Ireland
    A phone manufacturer
    A type of fish
    A President of Ireland
    An Irish Lake
    A book from the Bible
    A type of tooth
    An Irish river
    An Irish city
    A hair color
    A food served on a full Irish breakfast
    An Irish mountain
    A chemical element
    A sport popular in Ireland
    A lizard
    A weapon
    A letter of the Greek alphabet ( it's English spelling )
    A planet in our Solar System
    An Irish Olympic medal winner
    A fictional superhero
    A brand of footwear
    A Province in Ireland
    A Saoirse Ronan Movie
    An item of clothing
    The remaining letter you didn't use


    And these are the players

    But first - The Chewbacca Rule!


    If you were asked to name a non-humanoid main character from Star Wars, there are 3 real possible answers
    C-3P0, R2D2 and Chewbacca.

    The +EV play is to pick R2D2 because there's a good chance that the people who pick the names starting with C could split their vote between the two.

    It'll be interesting to see if there are any chewbaccas in this game :D

    Definitely one question where the three answers that jumped out at me all started with the same letter. I went for one of them. Still...

    Really curious to not only see how my answers do but also to see what others picked.

    Eeek excited much.

    I don't remember any question even vaguely resembling this..... never mind coming up with an answer to it :eek:

    This does not bode well.......

    This may very well be my most embarrassing performance to date.

    I'm really looking forward to this reveal

    I'm really proud of the X-answer I gave. Even if it only scores one point, I was very happy with that one

    Oddly, it were the relatively easy letters I struggled with the most, T and H being the main culprits


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,775 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    I was really intrigued by this game and was looking forward to it but I was terrible at it. :o

    I was left with a vowel that would score 1 in Scrabble at the end because I was trying to use the more obscure ones. Had to change it.

    I know I used it but for the life of me I can't remember for what :D

    No idea how this all works but it is great craic :)

    It will be interesting to see which letters were NOT used, i.e. the remaining letter question!
