13 people have participated, of which Yassin and Stephan are real-life friends of mine. They have visited me while geoo is here this week.
1. Are you happy that the quizmaster is back?
yes: 1 point -- everybody
Quote by Insane Steve: "1) Yea, obviously (easiest question in forum history?)"
2. Name a food that bunnies eat.
carrots: 1 point -- Simon, geoo, Ramon, Akseli, Yassin, möbius, Steve, ccexplore, Stephan, Clam
grass/hay: 1/5 point -- NaOH, Rubix
Lettuce: 1/10 point -- Matt
3. Guess an ingredient in today's cooked dinner of geoo and Simon!
wurst: 1 point -- geoo, NaOH, Rubix, Matt, Yassin
noodles/ramen/pasta: 4/5 points -- Simon, Akseli, möbius, Steve
ham: 2/5 points -- ccexplore, Clam
clams: 1/5 point -- Ramon
rice: 1/5 point -- Stephan
That day's menu was noodles with cubed ham, leek, creme fraiche, and curry. Delicious and not too wursty, even though wurst has won. Leek is a good ingredient in many meals. Use it wisely!
4. What equipment does Snyder's of Hanover (a snack company) use to turn pretzels into pretzel pieces?
hammer: 1 point -- geoo, Clam
rolling pin: 1/2 points -- Simon
factory: 1/2 points -- NaOH
Large Hadron Collider: 1/2 points -- Rubix
pretzel twister (with "?" smiley): 1/2 points -- Matt
knife: 1/2 points -- Ramon
teeth: 1/2 points -- Akseli
clam: 1/2 points -- Yassin
pass: 1/2 points -- möbius
weight trap from L1: 1/2 points -- Steve
machines: 1/2 points -- ccexplore
grinder: 1/2 points -- Stephan
geoo and me consider the LPC (large pretzel collider) the best answer. Unfortunately, it's worth just half a point, like almost everything.
Akseli, bon appetit! (for answering teeth)
möbius, what is a pass in this context?
Steve, the 10-ton weight is better suited for making flour from the pretzels, instead of making pretzel pieces.
5. Name a shape with three sides that is not a square.
triangle: 1 point -- everyone
I wanted to lure people into answering rectangle. Nobody has bitten!
6. Which Lemmings 2 tribe would you like to join?
Here's the map.beach: 1 point -- NaOH, Ramon, Clam
circus: 1 point -- Yassin, möbius, Steve
space: 2/3 points -- Simon, geoo
outdoor: 2/3 points -- Rubix, Akseli
egyptian: 1/3 point -- Matt
classic: 1/3 point -- ccexplore
highland: 1/3 point -- Stephan
geoo doesn't understand ccexplore picking Classic. Why would anyone want to be in the tribe that uses exploders and saves the fewest for gold?
7. Which of the following capybara gentlemen is the most dapper?
right one: 1 point -- Simon, geoo, Akseli, möbius, Stephan, Clam
left/central one: 1 point -- NaOH, Rubix, Ramon, Yassin, Steve, ccexplore
front/bottom one: 1/6 point -- Matt
Quote by ccexplore: "the leftmost one [ie. the one with its right hand placed on neck/shoulder of the middle one--perhaps an attempt to start a conga line?]"
Quote by Steve: "The middle one, I mean LOOK AT HOW CASUAL HE SIPS THAT MARTINI, LOOK AT THAT I MEAN"
8. It's a conga line! Let's celebrate the quizmaster. Name a forum member (except Quizmaster) to put your hands on his shoulders. You get 0.3 points for every person in front of you in your component of the conga line. If you manage to close a cycle, you get a bonus of 0.5 points.
9. What does the quizmaster depicted in the avatar weigh in kilograms? Closest guesser to the average gets 1.0 point, next gets 0.8 points, then 0.6, then 0.4, then 0.2. If players tie, their placings and points are shared.
9 kg -- Matt
40 kg -- Yassin
70 kg -- Clam
72 kg -- Rubix
86 kg -- ccexplore (1 point)
87 kg -- Ramon (0.8 points)
88 kg -- Akseli (0.6 points)
89 kg -- Simon (0.4 points)
90 kg -- geoo (0.2 points)
91 kg -- Stephan
99 kg -- NaOH
100 kg -- Steve
200 kg -- möbius
Despite strange guesses with 8.5 kg and 200 kg, the average is 86.2 kg. We've rounded the values to full kilograms, but the placings and thus the point payoffs would have remained the same if the exact values had been used.
ccexplore has picked for his guess the American average weight. It has worked out nicely. We have a representative sample of the American population!
10. Guess a whole number between 0 and 9 inclusive. You get 1.0 point if you're closest to 2/3 of the average, 0.8 for the next place, etc., and ties are handled as in the previous question.
1 -- Simon, geoo, NaOH, Yassin (0.15 points each)
2 -- Ramon, ccexplore (0.9 points each)
3 -- Akseli (0.6 points)
4 -- Stephan
5 -- Rubix, möbius
6 -- Matt
7 -- Steve
8() -- Clam
The average is 3.5, and 2/3 of this is 2.3, making 2 the winning guess.
Total scores7.52 -- geoo
7.50 -- Ramon
7.45 -- Yassin
7.36 -- Akseli
7.23 -- ccexplore

Congratulations geoo! Clam picking your tool for crushing the Snyder's did it for you. It's hammer time!
