Could you aks him to rule on this please?????Well that's a very good point you raise, unfortunately since you are the only contestant there's not really going to be a difference between a wrong answer and a non-answer. They both mean you don't know. Nevertheless, we are going to consult with the judges..... Link to post Share on other sites

They both mean you don't know. Nevertheless, we are going to consult with the judges.....Alex, I think there's a huge difference between a wrong answer and not knowing.E.g., This is a good household cleaner mix.What is ammonia and bleach? vs.I don't know.

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 since you are the only contestant there's not really going to be a difference between a wrong answer and a non-answer.Is VB one of the judges? Because I would've thought that he would clearly say there is a difference between thinking you're right about something, but being wrong and admitting you don't know the answer. Like, a huge difference.Maybe you should have three scoring categories: points earned, points lost, points passed. If you need some sort of spreadsheet to track this, I know a guy.

If you need some sort of spreadsheet to track this, I know a guy.He has to be penalized for not knowing, that is the whole point of this exercise. If he can just choose not to answer whenever he doesn't know, then we'll never get the satisfaction of seeing him drop so far into the red that he can't dig himself out. Plus, it's more fun when he's forced to guess and we get to see just how far off he is. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Potpourri: 600This best describes the shape of the DNA molecule.What is a pair of twisting ladder shapes rotating around themselves?Or a Helix..which is my favorite cigar btw The 6x52 torpedo shape...good smoke at a fair price. Plus I actually won the 'Write a slogan' contest they gave. They were offering a year's supply of Helix cigars to the best slogan....I wrote this:In the box of BlueWe present to youA smoke so fineIt will blow your mind.I won the contest..and asked them to ship me all the cigars at once since I had access to a large walk in humidor at a friend's business. They sent me 11 boxes. Which is a weird number, eleven boxes. Also it is not a year's supply, they lasted 6 months. Anyway, that was a couple years ago, and they never did use that slogan I wrote. Which is too bad, because I wrote it as a joke because Fine and Mind don't even rhyme lolololol ...........the FOOLS! Link to post Share on other sites
