Also, still have 14 spots open for new players in the mob.

damn i forgot about this game. i would have got that right too. i'll be around to answer the rest of the q's.

Its a good thing I knew that the carrier has 5 holes, seeing as I was in the navy and served on the USS Enterprise. I would have looked really bad.

Lucked out on that one. I knew it had to be 4 or 5, but I wasn't absolutely sure if there WAS a 5-hole ship, and I wasn't sure if the Battleship was the biggest one.

rand() likes you

anybody who was eliminated: check back real quick every day or so because in the next 2-3 days it's likely dkgo will miss a question or bank, which leads to round 2 and you are back in the game

i'm gonna be tied up tomorrow most likely, so i'm gonna post questions 2 AND 3 now

pm me both of them

we'll still reveal in order, but this will keep game going

Question 2:

According to Alexa, which of these 3 websites is not top 10 in terms of traffic?

a) facebook.com
b) myspace.com
c) ebay.com


Question 3:

What temperature is needed to boil water in Denver, Colorado (mile-high city)?

a) 202 fahrenheit
b) 212 fahrenheit
c) 222 fahrenheit

(send both in same pm; pm me by noon Wednesday)

omggg what the **** is farenheit

9/5*celcius + 32

fyp imo

****, I'm fairly sure I could've gotten these two questions.

Wait, so we won't find out the answers till Wednesday?

Really, really wish I could check.

Nich, did you do the phantom people randomly? or did you do it based on the ratio of actual answers. I.e if 80% answered B, then 80% of the phantom people answer B

in, sure i got both correct

So once we answered should we or should we not look up the answers ourselves.
I looked after I posted. I bummed out big time. I had the answer and changed it at the last second.

Doh

did phantom based on actual proportion

14:20 = 57:80

i'm fine with you looking at your answer after the pm, but don't post in thread if you got it right or wrong in case a lifeline is used

I have a metagame question

How much more difficult in scale do these questions get?

You said you were aiming at a certain % each question so does that mean all the questions are "roughly the same difficulty level" but just different topics?

Or the remaining people are smarter so the questions keep getting harder

the questions will get harder...assuming equal knowledge of all the original mob, i have to give lesser known questions as we go along to continue knocking out more of the mob (first question is a 70%er, second is a 60er, 3rd is 50er, and so on)

if we assume they are better at trivia if they last a few rounds, then they have to get even harder

but i'm assuming all relatively equal, sometimes people just don't happen to know a particular trivia question

Can I take one of the 14 spots?....sorta like a re-buy? =D

no, because then next round you'd have 2 podiums...it'll be round 2 in the next 2-4 days i'm sure

I'll join the mob if there's an opening
