Another day, another cow (0.333): NaOH
1 kg (0.333): Simon
100 g (0.333): Minim
Zero (0.333): Clam
ccx's answer gave me a lot of grief. Is "there is never too much meat" equivalent to "there is never enough meat"? On the one hand, the statements "there is enough meat" and "there is too much meat" are clearly distinct. However, their negations are more difficult to compare.
Finally, I decided I couldn't score this objectively and decided to open the floor to the two people sitting next to me in chemistry. They both agreed that the two statements mean different things, although had trouble elucidating exactly how. By democracy, ccx loses points.
Question 7. Who will be the next Quizmaster?
geoo (1): NaOH, Clam, geoo, Akseli
Simon (0.5): ccexplore, möbius
ccexplore (0.25): Simon
möbius (0.25): Minim
Interestingly, even geoo predicts geoo will be the next Quizmaster. Peer pressure?
The ccexplore-Simon loop is very amusing. Perhaps they should both host a round.
Question 8. The number of holes in Octohole is not 0, 1, 8, or 10. What's your next guess?
9 (1): ccexplore, geoo, Simon, NaOH
18 (0.5): Akseli, Minim
2 (0.25): Clam
i^2 = -8 (0.25): möbius
I was completely unaware of the true meaning of Octohole, but here is an explanation from Simon:
[Nine] is the factual answer, Octohole was a Clones map modification with 8 dark holes plus another huge one in the center.
Question 9. Can you guess the Quizmaster password?
password (1.5): Clam
asdfasdf (1): Akseli
wurstwurst (1): Simon
octohole (1): geoo
Steve Harvey (1): Minim
ClubMate867 (1): möbius
(NaOH's last name in real life) (1): ccexplore
The correct answer is, indeed, password.
Bonus:
1. ccexplore, Akseli, geoo
3. Clam, möbius
4. Simon, NaOH
5. Minim
Looks like the highest number wins out. Minim gains 0.5 bonus points.
Trivia:Question 1: geoo is a vampire.
RED (tastes like blood!)
Interestingly, the bonus question was the premise for an
actual bid in Germany.
Regretfully, Clam, who, learning from the results in the previous feud, gave the smallest answers possible for the quantity questions (6 and 8 ), expecting them to be the most popular... Clam gains 0.5
i bonus points for irony.
Final results:
8.5 geoo
8.167 Akseli
7.58 + 0.5
i Clam (Imaginary part discarded for scoring, sadly)
6.75 Minim
6.58 Simon
6.33 ccexplore
5.08 möbius
4.67 NaOH
