Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Famous Females Quiz-type thingy (CLOSED FOR NEW ENTRIES)
-
05-08-2008 10:28am#1The point of the game is pretty simple. In a PM to me, answer each of the 10 questions below.
Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. You don't want a unique answer, you have to answer with what you think everyone else will put.
Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: if 20 people play then its 5 pts per answer. If 4 people match the same answer then that means they each get 4 * 5 (20pts) for that answer. No matches = 0 points.
If you need to comment or clarify a question then do it in thread please. And if you could reply once you've sent a PM it'd keep the thread alive
Thanks!
JUST LIKE THIS:
1. Dr Maria O' Brien
2. Kathy Wells
...
The game will end when (if!) we have 20 entrants.
Good luck!
1. Name a female scientist
2. Name an actress
3. Name a female political leader
4. Name a sportswoman
5. Name a female singer
6. Name a female writer
7. Name a businesswoman
8. Name a queen
9. Name a feminist
10. Name a murderess

Some of them are a lot tougher to choose than others.
Actually they were for me at first but looking at some replies there were a lot of "Doh!" moments when I didn't think of someone who was bloody obvious.0 -

Yeah, once I've triple-checked the scores so people don't accuse me of not giving them enough points.
BTW, I get about 250 emails per day, of which I'll have to reply to about 40. Some of them are pretty long though 0 -

5 points per answer * numer of entries. Unique entries where no one else offered the same answer = 0
There are no wrong answers in this type of quiz where you are trying to give the same answer as you think most other people will give.
Well done to everyone. That was fun Look out for the next one coming this Sunday. It'll be at least a weekly thing if the support keep up. 0 -

yeah, I was looking through the answers and it was clear that some maybe hadn't understood all the rules
I've got another one ready (The USA) and am finishing another which will be much harder (must give unique answers not the same as everyone esle and the answer must be correct).
The answers were interesting though. 12 different female actors named and 8 people said Sonia O’Sullivan (I had forgotten she existed!)0 -

That's what I love about this type of quiz. There you are trying to think of a female author that everyone else will name and you just can't think of anything. Then you see the answers and kick yourself for not thinking of them 0 -
