Wouldn't you just determine all of the objectively correct answers, randomize which one you choose, and have a near-perfect strategy?

part of the appeal of peehs is knowing when to zig and not zag imo.

People's knowledge varies plus there is insane leveling going on

No, good players can determine which answers are less likely to be picked, whether it's because they can track down obscure answers that no one knows or they level well. I'm terrible at peehs, but there were definitely guys who were near the top every single game

Well, if you could determine all of the correct answers that easily, the game probably would be easy for you! You're not allowed to research the questions once the game starts though.

OK this makes sense. I didn't realize you couldn't research and also didn't fully understand the nature of the q's.

I think the honor system mostly works, since, you know, there aren't prizes or anything, so it would be pretty pathetic to cheat.

even in sheep where research is allowed people can cheat by co-ordinating answers. you just have to trust people, dont understand why someone would even ask that question.

I mean the Honor Code should work. Who in this world doesn't trust a large group of male WASPs? If we know anything about white guys it's that if there is an edge to be had, it will only be had if it is done so legally and ethically.

The answer has to be "correct" though i.e. you can't just put blue down as every answer. If you put down a wrong answer you get the max points for the question.
You cannot do research for peehs i.e. a question could be "Name a quarterback that started a game for the Bears in the last 10 years" and if you don't know anyone but Cutlahhhh that's tough luck

My biggest fail was not going left tackle which in retrospect seems like the obvious SE answer. Defensive end second highest paid and I think also drafted higher.
