If a girl has asked me and I said no but later changed my mind does this count?

So far awesome. It gets a bad rep but that's just people projecting their own opinions on others. I'm optimistic.

Gosrir got a good lead up there, but others still got a chance too. Ircher, please don't screw up.
ROUND 2
Keep in mind, point payouts are now doubled for the next few questions. Let's go.
The category for question 6 is...
Where do you come from, Winnie the Pooh®?
Near Bangkok, where I live, there's a little 100 sq.m. area that has loads of plants and stuffs. Wish the world have more green.

Shouldn't Gosrir and SC both win? 45 should count twice no?
Even number of guesses = 2 medians.

Now that I think about it it applies to round 4 too.

Okay I see in the rules you count duplicates as 1 number. It's your choice how you want to do it for the game, but mathematically it's incorrect to do so.

Yep, the game rules make the median order mathematically incorrect, but we will go by the rules of this game (which is similar to that of Wits & Wagers Board Game).

Speaking of me! I didn't answer the previous question, but I'm not currently in a relationship anyway. With that said, the last time she approached me, which I think was a big mistake in retrospect. The question made me realise that whenever someone is more interested in me than me in them (not necessarily romantically), it's been only downhill from there. So I'll proceed accordingly in the future.
With this question I'm in a little trouble because I'm a bit of a linguist, but restricting it to English-language literature, I'm going to name The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick. You might have heard about this novel via the Amazon TV show with the same title. Briefly: the book takes place in an alternative reality where the Axis defeated the Allies, & centres around a book that takes place in an alternative reality where the Allies defeated the Axis. What I like the most about it is its excellent world-building. From a certain point of view the novel lacks any non-diegetic element. Details about the world are revealed through natural sounding character dialogue & narration. The latter is obviously not really diegetic, but it kind of is: the narrator explains everything as if the reader lived in the alternative reality. By the middle of chapter 2 I was completely blown away, & it was just getting better & better. (Another thing worth mentioning, I guess, is that it's a real old-school sci-fi story, so instead of empty fireworks, Dick actually delivers a message, in this case about storytelling itself.)

I hear a lot of "ouch" coming.
Also, the ONE Acre Green Wood would be so crowded if ants are visitors.

The category for question 7 is...
A Bucket of Salt... I Mean Movies
.
SO, I'm going to watch a movie tomorrow and I'm curious;
I don't actually care how many there are, but how much they cost. Cheapest popcorns are definitely not cinemas'.
PM your answers and start talking... Now.

Do you buy movie popcorns? Which food is good with movies?

You are officially evil :devil:
Sometimes I do. Popcorn is good. Chocolate is better. Really anything you can in small bites that doesn't make too much of a mess.
I'm trying to eat better and this question has me thinking about M&Ms and Maltesers.

I eat popcorn in the cinema when it's appropriate, but o/w I'm not a big fan. I find that crisps are a lot more convenient for watching films at home.

Considering how 'light' the popcorn is, yeah. 20k kernels would still fill the whole cinema, though.
