I miss the eyebooger name a little bit, so I’m posting my 10K game now. It's been fun, yo.

It’s a combination of sheep and Academy Awards prediction.

It will score like regular sheep, except that correct answers (the ones that actually win the award) will score the sheep score PLUS two times the difference between the sheep score and the original score.

For example, if the scoring goes like this:
Movie A – 12
Movie B – 11
Movie C – 9
Movie D – 3
Movie E – 1

If movie A wins, there will be no change in scoring: 12 + (12 – 12) * 3 = 12
If movie B wins, the 11 people who answered B will have their scores amended to 11 + (12 – 11) * 3 = 14
If movie C wins, the 9 people who answered C will have their scores amended to 9 + (12 – 9) * 3 = 18
If movie D wins, the 3 people who answered D will have their scores amended to 3 + (12 – 3) * 3 = 30
If movie E wins, the person who answered E will have their scores amended to 1 + (12 – 1) * 3 = 34

So there is a reward for picking the sheep, BUT there is a bigger reward for being correct (especially if you are one of only a few who select it).

I’m going to play too. I’ll send my answers tomorrow morning to the first person who enters.

Here are the categories that were playing for:

1. Best Picture
2. Best Director
3. Best Actor
4. Best Actress
5. Best Supporting Actor
6. Best Supporting Actress
7. Best Original Screenplay
8. Best Adapted Screenplay
9. Best Animated Feature
10. Best Foreign Language Film
11. Best Feature Documentary
12. Best Original Score
13. Best Original Song
14. Best Visual Effects
15. Best Cinematography

as if noah's trustworthy

Bumpity bumpity

two times or 3 times?

My wording may have been confusing.

If movie C wins:

Original score - 9
Adjusted to sheep - (9+3)
Two times the difference between sheep and original score: (9+3+6) = 18

...which is the same as 9 + (12 – 9) * 3

i was told there would be no math

More bumping.

will be sending soon

Bump. Only takes 24 hours to get knocked over to page 3 these days.
