[Sephiroth_Dude]

[quickbeam]

I've mine finished!

Me too.

[BuileBeag]

Solid enough start. Not wonderful but at least I'm not Seph!

BB's knife




me suddenly feeling a pain in my back 





The moment she stuck the knife in 

[jp liz v1]

Most important is that ye have all bought my presents 

[Hyblaeus]

This game nearly feels a Christmas edition at this stage, missed the first day but looking forward to the rest. Thanks for setting it up E.N!

[davetherave]

The correct answer today was 75.9%

Dave hasn't brought his sheep/peehs game over!
Still all too play for of course

[Declan A Walsh]

Having seen the first question, I am happy with my decision! 

No, seriously, I can't guarantee I will be able to give this my full attention throughout Advent. 

[DejaBoo]

Having seen the first question, I am happy with my decision! 

No, seriously, I can't guarantee I will be able to give this my full attention throughout Advent. 

It's because yoou haven't started your Christmas shopping, innit?

[jp liz v1]

So Homer and Liz set the early pace
Sephi had some ground to make up
Dave hasn't brought his sheep/peehs game over!

Still all too play for of course

So am I leading with @Homer J. Fong

[E.N.]

OK, so most of you have started the shopping, but what about the decorating? Start of December? First weekend of December? Later? Earlier? Not at all?



#Advent Question 2:
Have you put up a Christmas tree at home?
What percentage of players do you think will say yes?

PMs to me before this evening, reveal about 9

Ho ho ho

[E.N.]

@Hyblaeus @Purple Mountain @Wichita Lineman

I think you all wanted to join in so just making sure you see it. You'll get 71pts for yesterday (worst score plus ten) but you can easily make that up, there's over three weeks to go!

[E.N.]

Little bump

Hyblaeus and Wichita Lineman have joined the fray, so we have 24 answers in from 31 players. No rush for the rest though, just before this evening

[Mam of 4]

How many extra points do they get if they don't answer on time

[E.N.]

How many extra points do they get if they don't answer on time

They get 10pts more than Sephi...









...sorry, 10pts more than the worst score

[E.N.]

Everyone's in, including Purple Mountain bringing us to 32 players

See you at 9 for today's reveal

I'll tell you now there's 82% between the top and bottom guesses, and they both gave the same yes/no answer

[Sephiroth_Dude]

32 is what I worked out my % from.. but probably way off

[Mam of 4]

I don't think I want to know the answer anymore... percentages? Random guesses more like from me .

[E.N.]

OK, today's answer is lower than I thought, 43.8% (14 out of 32)

[quickbeam]

Ha! I was waaaaaay off in my first guess.

[jp liz v1]

Oh well I guessed

[Mam of 4]

Dammit, I thought it would be lower than what I said !
(Note to self , go with first number in future )

[Leg End Reject]

Yay!


Unfortunately, the only way is down ...

[Wichita Lineman]

[E.N.]

We're doing ours this weekend, guessing that's quite common...?

[nothing]

Ah, mid table mediocrity, how I've missed thee

[aaronjennings]

Grrr, I was too low yesterday, this time I over-compensated and went too high

I was going to say 50% as well 

[jp liz v1]

[Necro]

OK, today's answer is lower than I thought, 43.8% (14 out of 32)

[cee_jay]

We're doing ours this weekend, guessing that's quite common...?

I'm quite a traditionalist at heart, so it never goes up before 8th December here.

[BuileBeag]

Aww Frick!!!! I went from 40 to 35 to 30. Why didn't I stick with my first thought!?!

Least I'm beating Trigger. That's something.

[Zaph]

We're doing ours this weekend, guessing that's quite common...?

I'm quite a traditionalist at heart, so it never goes up before 8th December here.

Toto's a traditionalist too, ours is up in time for The Toy Show every year

[E.N.]

I wasn't expecting to open twitter and see a picture of Sephi and BuileBeag

   

[BuileBeag]

That's us!!!

[quickbeam]

I originally went super low. I mean SUPER low until I remembered the Toy Show.
