    I'd like to introduce a modified version of PEEHS called Aces High. I may have invented it, and if I did, let it be known that I did so solely because it wouldn't take me long to add up the scores.:pac:

    The rules are simple.

    25 questions and your job is to give an ace for every question.

    An ace is a correct answer which no one else gives. Only aces score, so if you don't give an ace-if one other person gives the same answer or 25 people give the same answer-you score nothing. That's right-ZERO. :P

    The questions are chosen so there's plenty of opportunity to ace, but no unlimited opportunity.

    Remember only aces count (except in the event of tied leaders at the end, but we'll cross that bridge if we get to it).

    Since the questions are hard and varied, Google is allowed.

    PM me your answers. DO NOT post answers in thread.

    You just described the rules of 'P'.
    I'll enter your 'P' game, but you best change the title, as calling it peehs is misleading.
    :D

    Think this is just the same as Pointless where you have to give an obscure answer. Have played pointless sheep a few times and it's good fun but unfortunately for you, you didn't invent it :)

    I'm in.

    It's not quite Pointless, or Peehs.

    In those, every answer scores, you just want the lower the better.

    This game is all or nothing. Basically the one with the most aces wins. If your answer scores 2 or 200 it doesn't matter.
