Due to the outpouring of hate and death threats, I'm editing questions 1 & 2 to appease the mob. Everyone who has already submitted their answers can modify these questions only, and I'll email each on individually as well...bunch of women...
Answers are due by 1:30 PM Central Time on Wednesday, July 20, 2005.
DON'T POST YOUR ANSWERS ON TEXAGS! Please email them to brad@loanhouston.com. Please put "IWS XXIV - [your username]" in the subject line.
If you never participated in 2003, 2004, or 2005 there's no time like the present to start. We're now competing not only for the right to host next week but also for the 2005 season championship, which is calculated by different people with different formulas that get more complicated by the day and that nobody will ever completely understand. It's what makes the offseason great...
2005 I'm With Stupid is comprised of 6 questions. Your job is to come up with the most common answer. If 4 others match your answer then your score for that question is 5. You'll be sending your answers to me via email. Scoring will be (like number of answers to question 1) X (like number of answers to question 2) X ...
OFFICIAL RULES
No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited. No collaborating in any way.
No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by email or in any
other way with other potential contestants.
All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to the sole administrator of this puzzle. There will be no appeals or contesting of the results – the single judge’s decisions are final. You can, however, reduce the need for doubt and judgment on my part by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, that sort of thing. Anything that gives me clear and precise knowledge of how to determine whether your answer is the same as another answer is very helpful both to me and to you. (Answering "Cincinnati Bengals" is probably clearer than answering "Cincinnati," for instance.)
However...Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "name a color of the rainbow" and you and four other people responded "black" - you get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer to the question.
The winner of this contest will become the host of the next "I'm With Stupid" Contest. In the event of a tie, one winner will moderate, and all winners will have the option to contribute questions.
Answers are due by 1:30 PM Central Time on Wednesday, July 20, 2005.
This week's questions:
1) What will the Aggie football team’s combined point differential be for road games (Clemson, KSU, CU, TTU, OU for those of you who are lazy or don’t know) during the 2005 season? Give me a + or – sign with your answer. ROUND TO THE NEAREST 5
2) What will the Big 12 Conference's combined non-conference record be for the 2005 football season? Bowl games do not count. ASSUME 36 TOTAL GAMES
3) Who will finish 6th in NASCAR’S 2005 Nextel Cup Race to the Championship?
4) For the coin toss before the Baylor - Texas Tech game, what will be the result?
a. Baylor wins the toss & receives the ball
b. TTU wins the toss & defers until the 2nd half
c. TTU wins the toss & receives the ball
d. Baylor wins the toss & defers until the 2nd half
5) Who is the biggest freak?
a. Ricky Williams
b. Mike Tyson
c. Michael Jackson
d. Biker Fox
Posting a picture of answer D that results in getting this thread locked will result in a DQ for the week.
6) For the 2005-2006 academic year, which number will be greatest?
a. Texas Aggie football wins, minus 1 (meaning if you think we’re going to win 10 games, this value would be 9)
b. Texas Aggie basketball conference wins, plus 1 (meaning if you think we’re going to win 8 conference games, this value would be 9)
c. Texas Aggie baseball players drafted, plus 4 (meaning if you think 5 players will get drafted, this value would be 9)
d. 9
Question 6 was intended to be confusing...
Good luck!
