Greetings, denizens of 4L.
This year I made a pact, forged in blood and steel, to run the 4L PROB BUMB CONTEST for JM3. Due to our sub-forum's consistently low quality output and lack of tits, we have worn thin the patience of our patron demigod. He is le tired.
SO HERE. WE. GO!
The
1st ANNUAL CONTEST featured 26 entrants & 25 questions & covered Super Bowl 48 (XLVIII).
The
2nd ANNUAL CONTEST featured 37 entrants & 66 questions & covered Super Bowl 49 (XLIX)
The
3rd ANNUAL CONTEST, featured 50 questions, covered Super Bowl 50, & had uhhh...not gonna fact check it. We had more than a few baker's dozens.
Here are the basic rules:
* PM me a single-spaced, un-numbered list of answers (A or B) anytime before the National Anthem.
Example:
A
A
A
etc.
If you number your answers I will tell all the beggars in the
"How can I get in touch with a loan shark?" thread to pm you for loan info.
There are 40 questions. Please count carefully (4L's strong suit) prior to sending them to me. If I get more or less than a neat 40 I'm gonna toss your entry.
* Quick tutorial on the betting:
If a bet has a "-" in front of it, it means you bet that much to win $100. If it has a "+" it means you bet $100 to win that much.
If you have any questions about how the betting works or any of the instructions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Disclaimer, Terms, and Conditions: there is certain to be some sort of conspiracy with at least 2 of the 40 questions. Your benevolent overlord (me) reserves the right to swiftly and decisively make an executive decision as to which answer is the correct one. Feel free to bitch if you don't agree - it makes it way more fun.
ps I cannot personally bequeath an undertitle, but JM3 typically hooks the winner up with one.
pps If you **** up the entry format I'm going to nuke your entry, unless I like you.
ppps I only like Schlitz and Kristy, the rest of you should be careful af
p4s Yes, I'm going to do a long, fun, slow af reveal. (Though not as slow as JM3 last year, mother of god I think we finished in June).
