Press f for me I guess

No no no, you submitted Yoshi so you won this round in my heart.

[Ircher]

I thought for sure somebody would miss the fictional part and submit horse by accident. Oh well.

[Menalque]

I think my error here might’ve been thinking too much about the “want to ride” bit and not enough about which 5 mythical creatures that are technically rideable would be up there

Or there’s something about Centaurs that I just don’t get lol

[xofelf]

I'll admit, after the first few flying ones, i genuinely forgot dragons were ridable and could only think of land animals.

[racefan12]

I'll admit that I originally misread the question as asking for "fictional

characters

"... which initially led to some very interesting answers.

Commentary

It's interesting (for me, not you all) to not only look at what answers match, but what order they get submitted in. For almost everybody who submitted "lose weight" it was the first answer they listed, which I am assuming means they thought of it first or thought it would be the best match. That's pretty unusual! In most cases the answers get scattered around unless there's one or two very obvious ones (like Library for "where are books").

With a score of just 7,

Felissan

drops to level 3, so it's a good thing they didn't take a resolution of "not dropping any more levels," huh? No perfect scores this time but both

PookyTheMagicalBear

and

Nancy Drew 39

were one off!

So apparently, people control their money better than I think they do.

5 perfect scores of 42 this time, well done! Unfortunately, PookyTheMagicalBear's tactic of historical leaders didn't pan out, and they drop to level 4.

I'd have done Trudeau but I forgot his name.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

oops

[Haschel Cedricson]

No love for the first teacher to be elected president of Peru? He also kicked the ass of Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former president Alberto Fujimori.

[Cheery Dog]

Something appears to have gone wrong with the scores from Q7. it looks like the numbers I've seeing as equal to the results from question 9

looks liek that problem happened all the way back at Q9, but I haven't gone looking at the scores that closely until now. (I don't think I'd loaded this thread up on the computer)
