Special-Scoring QuestionsNote: The scores for these questions are seperate from the main feud score; the conversion to feud score is at the end of this section.Some people wrote "Australia" rather than "Oceania". This was fine; I interpreted this as meaning "Oceania". (Technically, "Australia" being a continent is more geographically accurate.)
11. You are planning a holiday in which, over a period of one week, you will visit each of the 7 continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Antarctica. You will visit one continent per day (let's assume you instantly teleport to the next one at midnight). Decide which order you will visit them in. On each day, you will score 1 point if you are the only person in your chosen continent, 2 points if there is exactly one other person there, half a point if there are exactly two other people there, and no points if there are three or more other people there.A region will be bolded if it was investigated on that day; but full investigation details will be covered in Question 12's section. This is just for quick reference purposes.

12. You have learnt that one of the other users is wanted by the international police during their holiday! The problem is, you don't know exactly who. All you can do is pick a day and a continent, and point the international police in that direction. The international police will investigate three reports per person. All users who are in the reported continent on the reported day will be "spotted" by the international police. Whichever user is spotted the most loses 3 points (if there is a tie, the loss is split evenly), whichever user is spotted the least gains 3 points (again, split if tied). Note that if two users report the same combination, it is only investigated once.bsmith
