Fien · 01-02-2012, 03:30 AM

While we’re waiting for the next quiz

) In alphabetical order Diego, Fien, Isak, Kateme, Oscar, SweetDalilah, Trunkyo.

1. How many pics total did the seven quizmasters produce? Hazard a guess. Preferably an educated one.

2. How many different games were used?

A) 368
B) 399
C) 451
D) 479
E) 510
F) 526

3. Five of the following games were used by five quizmasters. One was not. Which one?

A) Syberia 1
B) Gray Matter
C) Jolly Rover

DISCLAIMER: Alas, I’m not perfect. Not even when doing easy calculations.

I'm an educated person

, so I'll guess there were 1141 pictures in total.

Since all of the above WERE used in previous 39 quizes, I guess this is a trick question.

Fien · 01-02-2012, 03:45 AM

Oops! Sorry if I was unclear.
Many games were used by just one or two quizmasters.
No games were used by all quizmasters.
Five adventures in question 3 were used by five quizmasters. One was not.

I edited my post

.

Don't have the full statistics, so I'll skip question #2.

P.S. I'll seize this opportunity to thank once again all the quizmasters who made my (previous) year.

I'll go with semi-randomly guessing on these questions:

1. 952 (random guess)

2. D (random guess related to my answer on question 1 - it's the closest to half of that answer)

3. B (most likely candidate because it's the most recent game and because the two obscurer titles feel like decoys)

FAIL on all three, I reckon?

More importantly: thanks for the quizzes, quizmasters!!!

Great job F, but you're not getting away with the statistics

You know what i'm talking about

1. Just in case zobraks count it wrong

i'll say - 1107

3. I'm pretty sure i used all those games, EXCEPT i can't really put exactly Gray Matter and where did i include it. So i'll just guess GM.

2. Whenever i did tests, and when i wasn't sure of answers, i tend to answer them with the same letter - like all B's, C's... to raise my chances of getting at least one right

So, just like Gray Matter which is B, i'll say - 399, although it was probably more

that still doesn't mean Gray Matter is not the right answer

SweetDalilah · 01-02-2012, 04:33 AM

1. I'll go with 999

2. I have no idea but let's say a A: 368
3. I'll go with D) Igor: Objective Uikokahonia

I had no idea the numbers were so high

How many quizes were made in 2011, anyway?

39

Not even one good answer.

Lovely. Even the number of quizzes is wrong, Mr. Zobraks. Not 38, not 39.

Eh... actually I don't. Unless you're referring to things that are still in the pipeline. Not to worry, I haven't forgotten.

Can we answer again?

Nope!

A word of advice: don't lean on The Zobraks. He's got it all wrong.

Fien · 01-03-2012, 02:02 AM

1. 1174 (40 quizzes)
2. 451 different games
3. Broken Sword

zobraks · 01-03-2012, 03:42 AM

I missed one of ~~stupid~~ Big Mouth Diego's quizes while we were on somewhat bad terms.
