Some fun facts:
There were 40 entrants! AJ sporting events spam ftw.

There were 78 incorrect answers or just under 2 per player.

31 players put at least one incorrect answer.

For the arithmetically challenged that leaves 9 that got at least a valid answer for all of them.

go on...

i just saw the other thread

wish i was in

gonna be competitive

i'm gonna ****ing kick this sheep reveal's tiny **** **** ***ly *****.

imo

jared, can you reveal how many points an incorrect answer gets?

This. And question 1. Damn it, I have class in 20 minutes and I can't skip because we have a quiz

onlyone i think i got wrong was the hindu god which is funny since i started a new book yesterday by Salman Rushdie that gave me a few answers within the first 10 pages

I got the Office question wrong, never watched it. Don't think I got any others though. Probably middle of the pack.

Based on these two items, and comments in the other thread, I'm setting the o/u on incorrect "Pillar of Islam" responses at 18.5. Thoughts?

I think I did alright for my first POG competition, didn't know the office and seuss questions, I think that's defensible being a German.

There's going to be some controversy here so I'll start with an explanation. Being the non-religious sort I am I didn't realize that there are apparently at least four versions of the said commandments. Jews have "I am the Lord your God" as a commandment! Jews Catholics and Lutherans lump "have no gods before me" and "worship graven images" as the same thing while Anglicans Reformed and Orthodox Christians have them as separate. Jews and those last groups lump together "covet your neighbor's wife" and "covet they neighbor's house" while Lutherans and Catholics do not.

Fortunately nobody wrote "I am the Lord your God" so everyone got it right that listed something that could be considered a commandment. I'm going to make a ruling that will no doubt piss some of you off but hey it's reverse sheep. I'm going with the Roman Catholic and Lutheran set. The reason for this is that for me - again neither Christian nor Jewish of any sort - I think "having no gods before me" and making/worshipping an idol all comes under the umbrella of worshiping something else. I think they are more similar to each other than checking out your hot neighbor and wishing you had their car.

Incorrect answers are worth 16 points.

Oh Baby, she's hot!!!

oh crap, i forgot about the crappy office question.

forget my confidence then

so most common answer had 13 people answer the same...any guesses which it was?

1. Name one of the 10 commandments.

Correct Answers

Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's wife. (8) (gusmahler thegreatchris manupod kkcountry Thay3r reno expat nez aaronk56)


"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments."
