Ran one of these yesterday and I feel that it went pretty well. It was a lot of fun and enjoyed by all. With more entrants it would be even more fun!!

Spoiler PEEHS 1 - Signup
Spoiler PEEHS 1 - Reveal

Rules:

The idea of this is as follows:

-You send in your PEEHS entry as normal
-You send in a SPOILER entry

The spoiler entry is intended to punish other people if they are obvious or incorrect.

If the question was "Name an Apple founder" then you would most likely want to send in your real answer as "Ronald Wayne" and your spoiler answer as "Steve Jobs". This will obviously increase the score of anyone who said Steve Jobs or got the question wrong.

- Your real entry and spoiler entry must be sent in different PMs and labelled in the subject of the PM
- Your spoiler entry will not affect your score (unless you spoil yourself for some reason) and it will not be eligible to win
-NO RESEARCH WHATSOEVER IS ALLOWED FOR EITHER ENTRY

One criticism of the first game was that the questions were slightly too difficult. Consider these questions 5% less difficult:

Questions

1. One of the Ten Commandments
2. A country that has hosted the Winter Olympics
3. A mineral on Mohs Hardness Scale
4. An Oscar that The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won
5. A B Vitamin (numbers or names acceptable and will be grouped)
6. A Lanthanide
7. A Japanese born film director with at least 10 feature directing credits (First and last name required, but I will be really lenient on spelling)
8. A US State which borders Canada
9. A city in one of Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales
10. Someone who directed at least one of the 13 official Star Trek movies


Let's do our best to make this one bigger and better than the last...

TehSpoiler reporting for duty

in, way too many gaps in my knowledge to be competitive

In you didn't make these so frikkin hard I might enter.

Makes me if people won't enter if they think some questions are difficult (I mean there can be no one who thinks that ALL of those questions are too difficult).

I entered a golf PEEHS knowing close to nothing about golf vs people who regularly post in the golf forum. I came last but it was still fun to be a part of the reveal and the highlight was fluking an ACE to a question that I guessed.

If you don't know an answer then make an educated guess. Can't make an educated guess then make a joke.

Games are meant to be fun

can you clarify what "city" means for the purpose of Q9?

because from watching Pointless I'm pretty sure it means something slightly different (i.e, broader) in the USA

A "city" has been granted "Official City Status" by letters patent or royal charter

me thinks Xander is a serious movie buff..

Yeah, I kinda am and I'm aware that it shows in the questions.

I'm sure that if you're really into sports/movies/science/music/geography then it shows up in your games.

I know from 1vs100 that Stuck is really into Astrophysics for instance

i'll be in when i think of [redacted]'s first name

Am going away for 10 days or so but when I get back I am going to do my first sheep. I guess I'll see how much my own interests creep into the games.... should be interesting...

ins are going at a quicker rate than last week but we still need more
