Picture Balderdash Reappearance - THE RESULTS

[Dragon Phoenix]

If you are new to this, this is how it works.

do not use outside help

In round 1, you send me fake but believable answers. Try not to get the right answer!

After I have received all entries, I will post them, including the right answers.

In round 2, you select what you think are the right answers. For every one you get right, you earn 3 points. For every fake answer that you submitted, and that gets chosen by someone, you get 1 point. If you submit a right answer in round 1, you get no points.

Do not post answers here - send them before Sunday 7 september to
GLdragon[deletethis]phoenix@yahoo.com.

4. A famous Dutch woman - but what is her main claim to fame?


5. This dinosaur is named after a country. Which country?


6. Sunglasses named after a rare animal - which animal?

In round 2, you select what you think are the right answers. For every one you get right, you earn 3 points. For every fake answer that you submitted, and that gets chosen by someone, you get 1 point. If you submit a right answer in round 1, you get no points.

I have altered some of the submission either to keep a consistent style or to combine answers which were almost identical.

*smogs Sami*

Great show Sami!

[Dragon Phoenix]

Clarification on Dethwings score: his entries got lost. So I gave him the average score on chosen entries.

[dethwing]

and I probably didn't deserve even that.

0's across the board! Go me!

Thanks again for a great game DP.

[Schwartz_Ut]

I tried to find the answers after I sent them in and still would have gotten about the same score. Nice game.

[PBuG]

I did horribly

[Faeriefire]

Yay! I'm not last!

Great game, DP.

[Beartalon]

Second to Sami - I can handle that. I wonder what the possibility is that we would both send in the same three GLer names for picture #3, and guess the same answer for 3 other pictures?

[Milt]

My fave was:
She’s the inventor of ChiaKlompen - like ChiaPets, shoes that you water and grow

Good game! Congrats Sami!

The lights of a big city! I should've got that.

[Faeriefire]

I must say, I suppose I was at a bit of an advantage in #3 cause I've googled my sn before, so have seen that first picture

congrats, Sami.

[Sami]

Wow, I finally won something! Good game, everybody. Thanks, DP.

[Lepton]

I guessed more right in the first round than the second, I think. Good show Sami, and thanks DP.

[Tahnan]

Indeed, very nicely done, Sami. And well-moderated, DP; there were some very entertaining wrong answers (and right ones as well).
