Rules:
  • There are two types of questions: Sheep questions (1-19) and Reverse Sheep questions (1-12).
  • For Sheep questions (1-18), you want to answer what you think will be given most often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a Duke player" a good answer might be Christian Laettner and a bad answer would likely be Nick Horvath.
  • For Reverse Sheep questions (1-12), you want to give the answer that you think will be given least often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a basketball conference in the NCAA", a terrible answer would probably be the ACC. A good answer would probably be the Horizon League.
  • In Sheep questions, you get one negative point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. For example, if you and six other people said Laettner, all seven of you would get -7 points. No points are given if you are the only person to say an answer.
  • In Reverse Sheep questions, you get one positive point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. If you and ten other people said the ACC, you would get 11 points.
  • The lowest total score wins. In the above two examples, your current score would be 11 – 7 = 5.
  • No using Google, Wikipedia, etc if you don't have to. Try to remain moral in this (i.e. don't use them to cheat).
  • Use the Google Form to input your answers.
  • Incorrect answers in Reverse Sheep get the number of points for the answer with the most votes + 1, making it worse than giving the worst correct answer.
  • Answers are due by Sunday, June 11th at 11:59PM EDT. Answers will be revealed over the following day(s)

I almost used google, didn't, and now am dreading how stupid some of my answers will look.

I think we should take that one out of the scoring then. I thought it was a sort of trick question designed to trip people up.

I simply wrote in my assumption that it meant "in the 2000's" before responding. But agreed it should be tossed.

Alright that question will be tossed. Sorry for the confusion. It made sense in my eyes, but I'm the one writing them so.

I definitely answered one question wrong intentionally. But my answer was way better than the criteria for the date range.

Thanks mini-coop

Didn't feel too good about this one at all, getting old man. Nothing popped in quickly. Still fun stuff!

That could be good actually, given the way points work

The movie questions annoyed me, nothing to do with uconn, and of course I don't watch movies. Still, thanks for putting this together.

New participants have been stagnant, so get your answers in by tonight if you want to participate. I'll work on getting the results tabulated so I can start with the responses come Monday.
