The 17 of you will take on the second game…

The Honeycomb Quiz

I will explain how this will work shortly….

GAME TWO: THE HONEYCOMB QUIZ

In this game there are four shapes.

1. Star
2. Circle
3. Triangle
4. Umbrella

Each of these shapes represent a category and a matching set of 10 questions for that category.

To safely get through to the third game you must answer at least 7 of the questions in your chosen category correctly.

We operate under the honor system here so while I will not be policing it, Google or any other method of research on the questions is not permitted.

However, there is of course, a twist.

None of you will know your category until you find out your teams… and indeed, your team leaders.

There will be four teams.

Three teams will have four members and the fourth team will have 5 due to the numbers remaining in the game.

Each team will have a leader and they alone have the choice of the four shapes above which will in turn, shape your own future in the game. Each team leader will have to select a different shape.

This will be first come, first served so once the team leaders are announced, I will set a time that selections need to be made so as to be fair to all.

The teams and team leaders will be announced tomorrow. For now, sleep, be merry and rejoice that you have made it through this round.

Eliminated players are welcome to play along and send on their answers for each game as well.

If Red Sheep, Green Sheep had been a normal sheep - here is how it would have turned out…

@Ectoplasm would have won by 3 points with @Mollyb60 in 2nd place and @Leg End Reject in third.

In hindsight with a small player pool I probably should have gone with 3 lives for everyone to keep up involvement but it's a work in progress. For the next time, perhaps as I don't know if I should change things mid game.

Correct, their fellow team mates can advise them though nobody will know the categories until all shapes are selected.
