Think Different the Tenth: Double Digits

Post by Nydauron »

This game's been going strong! Let's keep up the momentum, shall we? For previous games, see
#9, #8, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, and #1.

The Rules:
1. You have 10 questions that you try to guess a correct answer for.
2. The catch is that the goal is to get the fewest number of points. The way you earn points is for each correct answer you give, you will earn the number of points equal to the number of people who guessed that answer. So, for instance, if your answer to Question 1 is Thomas Jefferson and 3 other people guessed that answer, you would earn 4 points for that question (1 for yours and 3 for the others). If you get the answer wrong, you earn the number of points equal to the number of participants plus 5 points (i.e. if there are 13 participants, you get 18 points). The best attainable score is 10 points.
3. There are two bonuses you could use to replace an answer: DROP and SHEEP. DROP means you earn 1 point for that question. SHEEP means you earn the number of points equal to the answer that the most people answered. So for instance, if the correct answers were A, B, C, and D, and 7 people guessed A, 6 people guessed B, 3 people guessed C, and 2 people guessed D, then the people who said SHEEP would earn 7 points for the answer (your SHEEP doesn't count as an answer and doesn't affect the others' scores). You get only 1 of each bonus if you so choose to use them. It is advised that you use DROP before SHEEP. Again, you don't have to use either of these bonuses.
4. PM me your responses by Saturday, 29 August, 23:00 (11:00PM) CDT. Any answers PMed after that point will not be considered.
5. Make sure not to cheat, please. Cheating is defined as letting other users know what your answers are before the deadline is reached. For this game, you may use any sources to find your answers (i.e. the wiki, Google, etc.).
6. Users can change their answers before the due date arrives, but after the due date, answers may not be changed.

Fr thou, I'm glad that this game got resurrected from the dead. (Thnx Tails! :D ) It's really fun tbh!

It's got a psychic element as well that I like...

2 Clarifications!!!
(one being my fault :roll: my b)

- Question 4: Based on the current answers that have been received, I am not referring to battery size, but instead to the chemical types (e.g. Alkaline).
- Question 10 is supposed to say "factor of" rather than "divisible by." (The original question would basically create an infinite amount of possibilities.) (Hey, I wrote these questions like at 4AM, ok?) With it rewritten, the question should say:
10. Find a number divisible by factor of the total number of zeros in this list.
