    Whet your appetites and prepare for a feast - it's the Food and Drink Heeps spectacular!


    l2jZrJK.jpg?1

    What is Heeps?

    Heeps is 'second best' Sheep - your aim is to give what you think is the second most popular answer to each question. The more people who give the same answer as you, the more points you'll score but if you give the most popular answer (the 'sheep') then you score zero, as does everyone else who gave the same answer. Highest score at the end of the game wins.

    There are no wrong answers and googling is allowed - so you've no excuse not to enter! :P

    Please PM me with your answers.
    Will leave submissions open until the end of the weekend at least, and then have the Reveal next week some time.

    Good luck everyone, and happy heepsing! :)

    Not sure how to approach this, do I go for the most obvious option that some people will avoid and perhaps become the 2nd most popular option....or do I go for what I think will be the 2nd most popular which could potentially become the most popular because everyone is avoiding the most obvious option....or play it safe and go for the 3rd most popular and hope it becomes the 2nd somehow.....

    Tried not to overthink things.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,400 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Hmm, seems like my "don't overthink it" plan wasn't very original. Oh well, in...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 711 ✭✭✭Three More Big Sleeps


    Yay! Another PEEHS/HEEPS! :)

    I'm in, Homer, PM later today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,570 ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Will enter over the next day or two


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 711 ✭✭✭Three More Big Sleeps


    PM winging it's way, Homer. Surprisingly difficult, all told.

    (Full disclosure: I had to check the intertubes for the correct spellings of 4, 9, 12 and 14. It's entirely possible I may be losing my mind :O)

    Yep, uh huh, second most obvious. I'm blaming sleep pattern shenanigans and beer o'clock on my lamentable inability to speel wurds.

    It's not Peehs, heeps means you are looking for the 2nd best answer.. peehs is the most obscure


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,156 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    send mine too!!
    I always find these very intriguing - being a foreigner I can never be sure what would be a popular/unpopular answer!!

    Really looking forward to the reveal, thanks for organising Homer!!

    In, done, sent. No seconding guessing, much like everyone else has said with these you just have to go with what your gut says will be the second most popular choice.

    Or do you expect that's what everyone else will do and double down?

    43?! Wow!
    OK, my FOMO got the better of me so I fired in an entry. Took all of 30secs, hopefully that's a winning approach :p
