Pointless: Q1. Photo finish Oscar

Pointless is a UK's trivia game show where being geek for once in our life is actually worth it.

As a comparison, in Family Feud, your task is to find the most popular answer.
In Pointless, your task is to find the most
not
popular answer.

Spoiler: Here's how it works
I will ask an open-ended trivia question. For instance, name a movie that won or nominated for Golden Raspberry award's worst movie.

Now you will be both the respondent and the player.

As a respondent: Your task is to name as many as you can. (For pilot, I will limit this to 20) Since you're a respondent, you don't have to get this right.
As a player: Your task is to name 2 answers that you think is both correct and nobody mentions it. The answer you named as a player can be also in the respondent list. If it's not in the respondent list, then I will put it in your respondent list. If it causes your respondent list to exceed 20, then I still put it.

Then I will rank each player's answer.

If you gives me a factually incorrect answer, that's automatic 100 points.
If you gives me an answer that only 1 respondent mentions it (you), you get 0 point
(a.k.a pointless answer. Get the joke?)

If you gives an answer that other player also mention it, you get (Z-1)/N x 100 points. Where Z is number of respondent who mentions it and and N is total number of respondent.

I will sum each player's answer. The player who's sum is the lowest wins 1 stars. 2 stars and you're the champion.

If you fail to answer inside the 60 hours deadline, you get a strike. 2 strikes and I will blacklist you from this game. You may try if I run another edition.

If you got blacklisted or you don't want to play but still want to contribute, you can be our respondent. There is no strike system for respondent.

The question will alternate in this fashion. 1st, 3rd, 5th question will be pop culture question while 2nd, 4th, 6th question will be high culture question.

High culture is something you study in school: Any branch of science, history, geography an on.

Pop culture is obvious enough: entertainment, books, sport, board games and on.
