In this competition you will will take part in a quiz with a third dimension. Most quizzes just have RIGHT and WRONG answers, but here we also have IMPOSSIBLE answers - they’re not just wrong, they couldn’t possibly be right!
EXAMPLE SMALL QUESTION:
‘Which color ball in a game of snooker is worth 6 points?’
A: Pink - CORRECT (it’s worth 6 points)
B: Black - INCORRECT (it’s in snooker but with 7 points)
C: Orange - IMPOSSIBLE (there is no orange ball in snooker)
The questions you get in this quiz will be in a similar vein, but larger. You’ll get 9 potential answers - 1 correct, 3 incorrect and 5 impossible - and each question will be given to you in two halves.
At the start of each round, I will post the FIRST HALF of the question. You’ll have 90 seconds to mail me what you believe to be the IMPOSSIBLE answers, based solely on that half. You’ll score 1/2 a point for each correctly identified impossible answer, but you’ll not be told how many you got right yet. That means in the first half you get get up to 2 and 1/2 points.
Then I’ll post the SECOND HALF of the question, which will allow you to decipher the 1 correct answer from the remaining answers that you still believe to be possible. You’ll be scored here by position - 6 points for 1st down to 1 point for 6th, unless you are incorrect, in which case you receive 0 points. No points will be given after 6th place. You can only answer ONCE.
After all have answered, I’ll reveal how many impossible answers people got right in the first half, how fast they were to send the correct one in the second half, and then combine the scores for a round total.
In Part 1 I will just accept the answer letters A-I as answers, however in Part 2 I want the FULL answer mailed.
After 3 two-part questions, the player with the most points wins IMMUNITY! All tied players will be immune.
Yes an example will be given.
