1. A very easy start: What's the easiest level in Lemmings 1?
Just Dig: 4
We all fall down (on increased splat distance versions): 1

2. What is the most useless skill in Lemmings 2 other than the Diver? (Screenshot of practice skill selection, if you need ideas. If you don't know the skill's name, state row and column.)
Skier: 3
Archer: 1
Roller: 1

3. You're a busy college student, living alone, and you're very hungry. What will you have for dinner?
Ramen: 3
Noodles: 1
Fried Capybara: 1

(I considered "Ramen" and "Ramen noodles" as synonyms, and "Noodles" as a more general class, which by the rules counts as a different thing.)

4. Name a suit from the standard deck of Poker or Bridge playing cards.
Hearts: 3
Spades: 1
Diamonds: 1

5. Name something you can buy in a pet store other than any animal.
Pet Food: 4
Leash: 1

Scoring: You can score up to 1 point for each question, but will score a fractional amount of points less than 1 when you deviate from the top answer. The exact score per question is (your answer's frequency) / (top answer's frequency). The scores for all questions are then added together, the result is your final score. (If scores were multiplied instead, the rankings would have been the same.)

ccexplore wins the first day with the full 5 points!

Runner-up scores are 4 + 1/3 points (shared by 3 people), and 1 + 1/2 points.

If you guys consider "noodles" as a synonym for "ramen", then Akseli shares the first place with ccx with 5 points.

Hey,

this is a quiz show!

You'll be asked some very simple questions, e.g., "name a common pet other than dog". Players submit their answers via private message, and you must try to match the most popular answer. In the example, you should name the pet which you also expect the other players to name. In other questions, you might be asked to pick a number from a given range, but the winner is whoever picks a number which nobody else chose.

Anyone on the forums is invited to participate -- the more players, the merrier, and the more diverse the answers will be. :-)

The Quizmaster is a secondary account of Simon, to keep personal messages separated. When participating in a quiz, send your PMs to the Quizmaster, not to Simon.

Rules for participation:

• You may join or leave at any time, without notice. Just start by submitting an entry to the current challenge.
  
• You participate in a challenge by sending your answers to the Quizmaster (not to Simon) via private forum message. The easiest way to do so is to click the speech bubble icon below the recipient's avatar.
  
• As long as the challenge is still open, you can override your earlier entry by submitting another one.
  
• Only the newest challenge is open for submitting answers. After 2 to 6 days, depending on participation, the challenge ends. I will post results and statistics, and make a new challenge.
  
• When you are asked to name things, I will fix all spelling errors, capitalization, and punctuation. However, two things are not considered equal if one is a subclass of the other. "ice-cream" and "Ice Ceram" are considered equal, but "ice-cream" and "chocolate ice-cream" are different things.
  
• This type of quiz is very prone to lobbying or teammaking. Please refrain from discussing popular answers while you're still not sure what you're finally going to guess.
  

We're starting right now! See next post for the first challenge.
