What Were You Thinking VIII! (Q29 results ... and a WINNER!)

[Fenchurch]

Oh darn, I didn't see this was running until just now!

/join as an innocent bystander non-competitive player

Which I guess means I can just submit silly answers to try and swing the scoreboard, yay

(not really though)

[RedCoyote]

Fenchurch's arrival is met with joy as well as embarrassment.

The joy is having the delightful Fenchurch here to participate in our game and add another mind to the mix.

The embarrassment is that she just made me realize -- as I was adjusting my spreadsheet to accommodate for a new row -- that the score totals are all busted. My formulas have been adding the non-scoring answers to the total scores.

I'm fixing this oversight now, but I just wanted to let y'all know that the scores will be changing for almost everyone, if not everyone, slightly.

[SleepyKrew]

Phew good thing I barely started my cumulative score table

[RedCoyote]

Still waiting to hear from ani, Burning, CD, Mac, dan, Xalxe and Mr. X.

[Cheery Dog]

I heard somewhere that wadding was more popular with women and folding more popular with men. I then combined that knowledge with the knowledge that there were more women on the planet than men, making the logical answer wad.

Never did the thought cross my mind that the only people playing this game were 24 scummers, among which there was only one female. You know, as opposed to the entire population of the planet.

But I'm still surprised that the results were so one-sided nonetheless. Scummers, it seems, are more similar than you may think.

The results may not entirely be truthful though.

[RedCoyote]

Prodding ani and puzzledan.

[BlackPawn14]

herpa derpa derp I didn't even need to send the questions ahead of time...

[N]

Stupid game.

[SleepyKrew]

I'm surprised paperwork doesn't count as papers
But I hate N so it's okay

[RedCoyote]

I thought about it, but, eh, when I think "papers" I think a mish mash of random stuff from paper in the printer tray to work assignments to TPS reports to newspapers to coupons to just anything sitting on your desk made of paper. Paperwork I think specifically something you are working on. It just seemed more specific to me.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

I originally said pens/pencils, so glad I stuck with pens!

[JDGA]

Wow no one else went with the filing cabinet?

[Burning_Earth]

I did ok: top 4 answers but also a nonscorer

[Svenskt Stål]

[BlackPawn14]

I originally said pens/pencils, so glad I stuck with pens!

Why just say one... when you can say BOTH!?
(either way, so far so good. But I always seem to screw up somehow so taht I never get a top score...)

[CuddlyCaucasian]

All that matters is not getting last

[JDGA]

(spoiler: that'll be me this round)

Still waiting to hear from ani,
