Thank you, Thank you ... Let's get this game started. LI, Maddux, as team captains, you'll be going first. Please see your PM box for the first question. You have a maximum of 24 hours to respond. The one of you who responds with the highest ranking answer will get control of the board for your team. If you take longer than 24 hours to respond, you will forfeit your right to answer.

For this question, we surveyed 100 College Students (in 2006). The top five answers are on the board ...

1. __________
2. __________
3. __________
4. __________
5. __________


And the question has been PMed to the captains ...

 

Answer: sent!

 

A note, due to lack of activity/signing in, Jedi Greg Maddux is no longer the captain of this team. MaidenLumpé will be filling that role. I will bump JGM down to five, and then if he is replaced fully, that person will take over the five spot.

For this question, we surveyed 100 College Students (in 2006). The top five answers are on the board ...

Name a brand of car you associate with the rich

The_Loyal_Imperial: Lamborghini

Let's see it ... is it up there?

1. ___________
2. ___________
3. ___________
4. ___________
5. Lamborghini 04

Up there, but not number one ... let's see if the other team can do better ...

MaidenLumpé: mercedes benz[/b]

How about it ... how about a Benz?


1. ______________
2. ______________
3. ______________
4. Mercedes-Benz_ 08
5. Lamborghini___ 04

Bank Value: 12

And that gives control of the board to DEAD POSTERS SOCIETY

KnightWriter, name a brand of car you associate with the rich

 

Lexus.

 

KnightWriter wants a Lexus ...

1. Lexus_________ 37
2. ______________
3. ______________
4. Mercedes-Benz_ 08
5. Lamborghini___ 04

Bank Value: 49

And, there it is, the number one answer!

Eeth, it's up to you now ... name a brand of car you associate with the rich

 

Lexus? Really? I never would've guessed.

 

Rolls Royce

 

We're going to the judges on this one ... I'll get back to you after we confer

 

If you need me to clarify I can do that as well.

 

Ok, I have conferred with the manual of data I have, and it seems that in this particular one, these two were combined together (I have five of the same data for this question, and it appears the person who compiled this particular one was too smart for his own good ... or thought he was), so I'm going to give Eeth credit for this one even though the board says ...

1. Lexus_________ 37
2. BMW__________ 33
3. ______________
4. Mercedes-Benz_ 08
5. Lamborghini___ 04

Bank Value: 82

One answer remains. Will RS77 get it, for the clean sweep, or will you get your first strike?

 

That's asinine. Rolls Royce is a brand of its own, it shouldn't be lumped in with BMW, even if it is the same corporate group.

And Rolls should be #1 anyway. Lexus?

 

BMW owns Rolls Royce. It's hardly "asinine".

 

How many people even know that? I'd be willing to bet that when they took that poll, plenty of people said Rolls, and then the poll-taker lumped it in together with BMW. They're separate companies and brands.

Anyway, I'll confine myself to the cheering thread, and let you all continue with your little game now.

 

Lexus seemed very obvious to me, as I said in the cheering thread. I think a key to this game is to think in popular terms, not in terms of what should be.

 

Gah, I don't like being last!

Since this is college aged people I'll say...

Audi

 

We're not looking for an innie ... we're looking for an AUDI ...

1. Lexus_________ 37
2. BMW__________ 33
3. ______________
4. Mercedes-Benz_ 08
5. Lamborghini___ 04

Bank Value: 82


No clean sweep, but that was only your first strike. We go back to the top of the list now ... Carmen, do we have a replacement?

 

When can I start making dumb blonde jokes?

 

Russ PMed me this morning, so he's going to stick around. However, Adalia-Durron is an alternate for our team, so if anyone else goes MIA, we'll go to her. (Keep that in mind, other team members, in case I'm the one that goes MIA )

 

ok then ... Jedi Greg Maddux ... you are on the clock

 

Ferrari, gotta be Ferrari.

 

Can Greg Maddux have a Ferrari?

Not there ... which leaves you with two strikes, and one answer left. So, either you win the board here, or the other team gets a chance to steal ... MaidenLumpé it all rests on your shoulders ...
