Are you enjoying the storyline or do you prefer direct questions?

Week 5 Winner

It was a slightly shorter quiz week than usual as I had a couple of nights away with my extended family. We still managed to answer 15 questions which were asked in a different format to last month. What did you think of the change? Keep with the storyline or return to direct questions?

From this week's 15 questions, @pennsif (Solo) continued his fine form with a score of 5.5 points to take this week's prize (10% beneficiary to this post). Oops-a-lot (@mojociocio and @ady-was-ere) also did well with 3.5 points with @disconnect (Solo) and NO team (@chriddi, @moecki, @event-horizon and @o1eh) both scoring 2 points and Two Shreks and Fiona (@bluelavender, @alexanderkass and @henryclive) taking the final point.

🏆 Congratulations @pennsif!

Overall Rankings After Week 5

Are Two Shreks and Fiona starting to get nervous as @pennsif closes the gap to just half a point? They're still sitting pretty at the top of the table but can they slow down @pennsif's fine form? Or will another team start to make their way up the table?

Questions 13 and 14

🎭 Celebrity Numbers 🔢

In this round, each person can request the unmasking of any number (1 per 30 minutes), which will unmask a square on the image below.

You then need to figure out who the celebrities are!

1 point for each correct answer.

This time, ChatGPT gave me 3 random numbers to get us started!

Be careful though, receiving too many number requests could make things too easy for others to guess!

Updates will be made every 30 minutes until the celebrity is guessed - remember though, an incorrect guess will lead to a 3 hour wait!

Once the image is updated, you can request another number (even if you're on your 3 hour wait)!

Last update: 7pm (UK Time)
Next unveiling: 7:30pm (UK Time) - Please select your number before then.

Tom Cruise?

 last year 

✅ Correct! One of them is Tom Cruise.

The other one is Cher

Kinda funky hairstyle

 last year 

✅ Correct! We have Cher with Tom Cruise

 last year

54 please

Cher and tom cruise

mojociocio has already answered correctly. Please keep an eye out for future questions and you've got to be quick, we've got some impressive quizzers!

Question 16

🎥 Movie Magic 🎬

What movie is the image below depicting?



image.png
Source

Citizen Kane

 last year 

✅ That's correct! Harry Kane in a Man City shirt and Man City's Nickname is the Citizens.

Although Harry Kane never became a "citizen", at first I thought the movie title was related to that, to the failed deal.

 last year 

Sometimes I'll post a question and think "That's too obvious" and then it turns out not to be.

Oh, I've just thought of a good one 🙂

 last year 

Looking for Eric

 last year 

👎 Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, Cantona.

 last year 

Hä?

 last year 

 last year 

Isn't "The Keeper" the movie you are looking for?

 last year 

👎 I'm afraid not. 'The Keeper' is not the movie that I'm looking for.

 last year 

She's the Man🙃

 last year 

👎 Oh wow! That looks like a truly awful movie!

 last year 

One I haven't watched and probably never will 😆

 last year 

Me neither!

Unfinished Business (2015)?

 last year 

👎 It's not 'Unfinished Business'

 last year 

United (2011)

 last year 

👎 It's not 'United'

 last year 

Hmm, why do I have this sinking feeling that I don't particularly like this new quiz master? Is he rude?

 last year 

Not at all 💐

There’s Only One Jimmy Grimble

 last year 

👎 Oh my, that looks soooo bad!

 last year 

Match

 last year 

👎 alexanderkass is correct with the answer "Citizen Kane"

 last year 

👎 That looks interesting and I see it's on Amazon Prime. Maybe that can be my next box set after Season 3 of Jack Reacher.

I confess that I like it because I love the actors, there are people who don't like the plot, but I liked it, I think I saw it two or three times (on different occasions)... haha.

Edit: I just saw right now that there are two movies with the same name, I'm referring to the one from 2016. I don't know if it's the same one as you say.

 last year 

Ah yes... it looks familiar. I think I might have already seen it! Ha ha - yes! I have seen it! I gave it 7/10 on IMDB. I bet Jennifer Lawrence cries in it. I don't think I've seen a move that doesn't involve her crying at some point.

Oh yes, of course she cries a lot 😅

 last year 

Transfer (2010)

 last year 

👎 This question has highlighted a lot of awful movies to me. Perhaps next time I do a "Movie Magic" question, I should vow to watch the first incorrect answer that's submitted.

 last year (edited)

Question 17

🎥 Movie Magic 🎬

What movie is the image below depicting?


Cristiano Ronaldo crying after Portugal’s defeat against Morocco
Source

Hint: The movie appears in this list - https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/

Hint: @henryclive is the closest with "Cry-Baby"

 last year 

Million Dollar Baby?

 last year 

✅ Yes! That's it! Cristiano Ronaldo is the Million Dollar (per week) baby!

 last year 

 last year 

It might not be that much... but it's A LOT of money.

 last year 

And that's a lot of taxes...

 last year 

Not in Saudi Arabia! I’m pretty sure his salary’s tax free! (Although I could be wrong)!

A Bug's Life (1998)

 last year 

👎 Definitely my favourite attempt so far!

 last year 

Cry-Baby 🥲

 last year 

👉 You're part way there...

Se7en by David Fincher

 last year 

👎 It's not Se7en. That's a great film.

 last year 

Crying Man 🍀

 last year 

👎 I'm wondering if my choice of example for the film doesn't translate well into German.

Maybe he doesn't know that he should say the name of the movie... 🤔

Now I remembered the name of another movie, but I still can't say it, right?

 last year 

This is the name of a movie... but I've never seen it 😊

Yeah! Then I was checking and yes, there is a movie called that.🙂

 last year 

In Germany almost every title is translated and I normally don't know the original name.

 last year 

Yes - I've just looked up its name in German and it's completely different.

The movie appears in this list - https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/

Perhaps if you translate the names directly into German, one will stand out.

 last year 

Which movie do you mean? Million Dollar Baby is exceptionally the same name in Germany.

 last year 

Ohh, yes. It was Million Dollar Baby. I think it was Chat GPT that told me it had a different name in German.

The 2004 movie Million Dollar Baby is also known as Golpes del destino in German.

That's from whatever AI Google uses (Gemini I think).

The Crying Game

 last year 

👎 I like it but it's not quite on the right track yet...

 last year 

Legends of the Fall

 last year 

👎 It's not 'Legends of the Fall'... which definitely looks more like my kind of movie!

 last year 

Ronaldo (2015)

 last year 

👎 It's not 'Ronaldo'.

Boys Don't Cry (1999 )

Oh, llegue tarde jajaja, sorry 🫣

 last year 

A little late 🙂 I'll get my weekly post out tonight and then it's time to prepare for Week 7!

great, I'll be watching🙂

The Green Mile?

 last year 

👎 It's not The Green Mile although that's probably what his 2nd stint at Man Utd felt like!

 last year 

Oldboy!

 last year 

👎 Another great answer but it's not Oldboy

 last year 

The Departed

 last year 

👎 I'm loving these answers but it's not The Departed

 last year 

Question 17 - Hint

@henryclive is the closest with "Cry-Baby"

 last year 

The Legendary Seven

 last year 

👎 A clever try - I'm not a fan of his though.

 last year 

A clever try

Very clever. Half a point?!

Robbie Williams & Kylie Minogue

 last year (edited)

Hey, super! 👍
Ist das Bild mit den beiden aus einem Film? Ich meine, ich hätte das Bild schon mal gesehen.

 last year 

Witzig, Ralf kam das Bild auch bekannt vor. Hat Kylie nicht erkannt, obwohl er ein großer Fan von ihr ist.
Ich habe wegen der markanten Augenbraue an Robbie gedacht, suchte nach "Robbie Williams Duett" et voilà:

 last year 

Haben wir also noch einen Mitspieler im Team :-)

 last year 

Nee, nicht wirklich.
Obwohl Ralf mein unangefochtener Telefonjoker für sämtliche Raterunden und TV-Quiz-Shows für Musik aller Genres wäre, verweigert er nunmehr die Mitarbeit. Er mag die "Dinos" nicht hören, behauptet, der Tastenklick sei Körperverletzung und will mit mir darüber diskutieren, wer sich sowas ausdenkt, statt sich ernsthafte Lösungsvorschläge zu überlegen... Das Foto habe ich ihm nur mit der Frage "Kennst du die?" unter die Nase gehalten, ohne zu sagen, worum es geht... ;-)

 last year 

Okay, das sind ja ganz neue Töne. Apropos Töne: da muss ich Ralf schon recht geben.
Mir hilft es aber meist ohnehin nicht viel, ewig darüber nachzugrübeln. Wenn es mir nicht gleich bekannt vorkommt, dann wird das auch nichts mehr.

 last year 

✅ & ✅ It's Robbie and Kylie 🥳

 last year 

 last year 

John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John

 last year 

👎 I see your thinking... but it's not them.

 last year 

Kylie`s hairstyle would have suited Grease though...

 last year 

Robbie Williams was looking pretty slick too.

I'm not sure how they'd have written this storyline in though...

image.png

 last year 

Wow, sexy. Did not find this photo but the video for the song "Kids".

 last year 

Okay, then open 55 plz.

 last year (edited)

Are you sure? It's 3 hours before you can guess again.

Having said that, you can guess the female.

 last year (edited)

I've definitely seen them before...

67

Oh, it's already been solved....

 last year 

🙂 Your trusty teammate correctly identified our beloved pair.

 last year 

 last year 

I guess it is John-Claude Van Damme.

 last year 

👎 It's not the mighty Van Damme.

 last year 

59 plz

I'll go for 53

 last year

Amber Heard?

 last year 

👎 It's not Amber Heard

 last year 

Question 11

⚽ Sports 🏏

Back in 2021, I wrote about 2 Reading players who have both left the club for greater things.

They've since gone on to play for one of the giants of European football.

Which club have they both played for since leaving Reading?

Munich Bavaria?

 last year 

✅ They've both gone on to play for Bayern Munich - Omar Richards signed for them straight from Reading and Michael Olise spent a few seasons at Crystal Palace before moving last summr.

Olise's so class.

 last year (edited)

Crystal Palace

 last year 

👎 Omar Richards hasn't played for Crystal Palace.

 last year 

Yes. And I don't explain you the reason for my mistake... LOL
Stupid, since it would have been me (or Möcki) who were able to write the correct answer correctly: München... 😎

 last year 

I thought about writing Bayern München but having grown up calling the team Bayern Munich, I wasn't going to change things now.

Interestingly though...

image.png

So maybe you and moecki would have provided the incorrect answer 😅

 last year (edited)

Question 10

❔ Who am I ❔

I'm a retired sportsman who won the World Cup at the age of 31. The following season, I played in my country's 2nd Division. I ended my career abroad, playing my sport in both Australia and India. Whilst I won't tell you my birthday, I can tell you that I was born in the year of the Tiger and my star sign is Scorpio.

  • I was 31 when I won the World Cup

  • I ended my playing career in Australia and then India

  • I was born in the year of the Tiger

  • My star sign is Scorpio.

No questions this time

 last year 

Alessandro Del Piero 🫣

 last year 

✅ I'm impressed that you got this so quickly! ChatGPT kept getting it wrong when I asked it.

 last year 

But ChatGPT gave me the answer immediately. That's why I chose the embarrassed emoji (because I have absolutely no idea who this athlete is).
Maybe the trick was this:
I was at my computer when I saw the question but I had to leave, so the search had to be quick. Since I know you check your questions with GPT, I obviously didn’t go for copy & paste. I just quickly typed in keywords in GERMAN...

Bildschirmfoto 2025-02-14 um 15.26.21.png

 last year 

He's an iconic Italian footballer - best known for his many, many years at Juventus.

ChatGPT kept giving me other Italian players and even cricketers. None of which fitted the criteria. This can only mean that either;
a) ChatGPT has been dumbed down for English speaking users
b) I've been so rude to ChatGPT in the past that it doesn't even try to give me correct information any more.

It's probably (b).

 last year 

(b) = B yourself...

Noted. For some reason I didn't get a notification for this reply, luckily @mojociocio mentioned it.

Okay, got it. Can you tell me which of you I should stalk on SteemWorld so that I don't miss anything important?
Damn flag war? We have to find a different solution to this!

 last year 

All questions will now be from this account. the-gorilla will still write the posts (because that's where my followers are) and the-gorillla will now comment. the-gorilla will "follow-vote" quz-master and the-gorillla so voting patterns will remain the same. So as crazy as it all appears, it makes sense to me. I was already thinking about having a @quiz-master account 🙂

Damn flag war? We have to find a different solution to this!

Yeah - that's up to the witnesses though. They've had 5 years to do something about it and haven't. I chickened out when I was running @endingplagiarism but this time, he can invite all of Hive to downvote me but the only pennies he'll be earning from now on will be curation rewards for supporting other authors. I'll scatter enough comments with the-gorilla to attract more downvotes (he doesn't seem to adjust his voting weight so will ruin his own power) and I'll track all 3 accounts. Simples 🙂

Good thing is that the-gorilla will attract all of the downvotes, so that people like inspiracion will be left alone. I'm cool with that. remlaps has an auto-downvote too so I only need to do 60% to finish them off 💪

 last year 

It also means that I can have the Friends Feed that I've always dreamed of without worrying about hurting anybody's feelings 🥳

 last year 

Haha, I already responded to something similar today (Michelangelo3 continued working on his follower tool). I no longer know the pain threshold. Let people feel for themselves how they annoy me... ;-)

Hi @event-horizon - So that you don't miss out, all future questions will be asked from this account.

 last year (edited)

Hi @mojociocio - So that you don't miss out, all future questions will be asked from this account.

This is just my suggestion:
I think the next shape is a circle again.
If we associate these shapes with the number π (3.14159...)
A triangle has 3 ends - represents 3
A circle can be taken as 1 (wholeness, no corners)
A cross has 4 ends - represents 4
The next number in 3.14159... is 1, and the circle was previously used to represent 1, so the next shape is a circle again.
Following the logic of π (3.14159...), the next number is 5, so most likely, after the circle comes a five-pointed star.
I don't know which shape to choose for the number 9 🤭😅

 last year 

👎 I love the explanation! It was more simple than that 🙂

 last year 

✅ That’s correct!

 last year 

⬇️ Hira and me... 😁

 last year 

Ich habe euch natürlich gleich erkannt 🥳

 last year 

👎 Don't forget to share your thinking for the answer 🤔

I was blank so I just threw in a random number 🙈

It’s been 9 hours without an attempt (minus mine) how about a hint?

 last year 

😆 Well you might as well try to get 1/2 point!

That crossed my mind! It actually happened while guessing about the toothbrush 😆

It’s been 9 hours without an attempt (minus mine) how about a hint?

 last year 

I'll hold off for a little while - I'm not sure what time zones people are in, for me, I posted it late last night (10:30pm) and it's still early (8am).

I do have a hint in mind but I think somebody might get it first 🙂

 last year 

Question 5 - Hint

You'll find the answer on steemit.com

12! (Just want to see I'm on the right track)

 last year 

Closer - the answer is 15. moecki answered correctly - it’s the number of quiz questions we’ve had each week 😊

Oh that was a good one! 👌

 last year 

I'm running out of ideas now! 🫨

Why not let us submit some questions? If someone submits a question and gets posted, he is not allowed to participate in that round.

 last year 

 last year 

Question 1

🎶 Musical Dinosaurs 🦕

Kicking off the week with some classic rock from the 70's.

Please name the Artist and Title of the original Song.

 last year 

Deep Purple - Smoke on the water

 last year (edited)

Hi @henryclive - So that you don't miss out, all future questions will be asked from this account.

 last year 

✅ One of the first tracks that I learnt on the guitar.

 last year (edited)

Question 2

🎶 Musical Dinosaurs 🦕

Into the 90's now...

Please name the Artist and Title of the original Song.

Hint: The part being played is the main guitar riff
Hints: The award winning album that this track is on has sold more than 18 million copies worldwide.

This is the final hint for this question so you're running out of time.

 last year 

Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers

 last year 

👎 It's not the Chilli Peppers.

Reminder of the 3 hour wait

 last year 

Were you playing the intro to the song or the chorus? 🤔

 last year 

They're not the first notes of the song, but they're certainly the most recognisable notes. So it's probably the chorus.

 last year 

Time for a hint! Is this an alternative rock track, a dance hit, or something else?😊

Wheel of Fortune
Song by Ace Of Base

 last year 

👎 It's not Ace of Base.

Reminder of the 3 hour wait

Wow, I was ready to bet that it was exactly this song.

 last year 

I can hear the similarity for sure!

 last year (edited)

Hi @alexanderkass - So that you don't miss out, all future questions will be asked from this account.

 last year 

I saw the title. 😈

 last year 

What do you mean? 🤔

 last year 

I saw a song name in the title of this video. It was there and then it was gone. At first I thought you wrote it by mistake. But it was the wrong song, not from 90s and later I found out that it has already been solved in Musical Dinosaurs. So probably just a glitch in my computer or mind. 😛

 last year 

🤔 Je ne sais pas. I don't think I've typed out the song title anywhere yet... in fact, I had to double check the artist after I'd posted the question 😆

 last year 

Beastie Boys: (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)

 last year 

👎 I saw the Beastie Boys at Wembley Arena - it must’ve been ‘98 or ‘99.

 last year 

‘98 or ‘99...

...are the 90s... 😎

 last year 

They are indeed. I think the Jungle Brothers were the support act.

https://www.beastiemania.com/gigog/show.php?g=19990507

Yes, they were. And Bentley Rhythm Ace. I used to love them.

 last year 

And I saw R.E.M. in Hamburg in 1989. The ticket was a present for my Abitur. I listened to the band up and down back then. So why didn't I guess the Dino sound straight away? 🤔

 last year 

Perhaps because you saw them in the 80's, you associate them with that decade, rather than the 90's?

After I'd recorded it, I thought "this one's too easy" so I was surprised when the first attempts weren't correct!

 last year 

Question 2 - Hint

The part being played is the main guitar riff

 last year 

Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz ?

 last year 

👎 It's not Lenny Kravitz.

Time for another clue...

 last year 

Question 2 - Hints

The award winning album that this track is on has sold more than 18 million copies worldwide.

This is the final hint for this question so you're running out of time.

R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People

 last year 

✅ Shiny Happy People Holding Hands

 last year (edited)

Hi @pennsif - So that you don't miss out, all future questions will be asked from this account.

 last year 

U2 - One

 last year 

👎 The album Achtung Baby, has outsold the album my track is on in both that year and all time.

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion

 last year 

👎 Pennsif is correct, it’s Shiny Happy People.

Question 7

🪙 Steemit History 📜

When Justin Sun bought Steemit, lots of angry people got scared. One of their fears was that their beloved STEEM token would be replaced by TRON's TRX.

If TRON had converted all STEEM into TRX on that day, approximately how much would a user who had 10,000 STEEM (assuming no additional rewards or interest was earned) have today in USD?

Note: In case you use different conversion prices to me, please show your working.

According to historical market data from Trading View, TRX was trading at around $0.023–$0.025 USD & STEEM was trading at $0.20–$0.23 on February 14, 2020.

Given that the calculation should be,

If STEEM is $0.23:
10,000 STEEM × $0.23 = $2,300

At $2,300 total value:
$2,300 ÷ $0.023 = 100,000 TRX

TRX is now worth $0.2434

So, 100,000 TRX at a price of $0.2434 per token would be worth $24,340 today.

And I was so close, I misread the TRX price.

 last year 

I haf different figures for the value of STEEM and TRX (from here) but everything's close enough 👍

 last year 

If STEEM would be replaced, you got 1 TRX for 1 STEEM.
So a User would have 10000 TRX, which is now $2398.20 (with $0.23982 per TRX).

 last year 

If STEEM would be replaced, you got 1 TRX for 1 STEEM.

Would that have happened? I worked on the basis that you'd get market value for your STEEM - which would've been a ratio close to 10:1 at the time.

 last year 

I don't know. I didn't follow that at the time. It could also have been that only the name had been changed. We could also rename STEEM to MOECKI ;-D

 last year 

You could do that on your front-end. The MOECKI token which always trades at 1 STEEM to 1 MOECKI.

 last year 

Genau so war es genau richtig gedacht (und gerechnet)! 😎

Ein Versuch war es wert :-)

Klar. Hau raus, was dir einfällt. Das ist unsere einzige Chance. Die Konkurrenz schläft nicht.
Naja, ein Päuschen sei uns gegönnt - bei zwei Punkten auf Schlag... 🤪

STEEM used to be 0.26-0.28
TRX used to be 0.23-0.26

10k STEEM at an average of 0.27 would be 10800 TRX at 0.25
Currently TRX is 0.243, 10800 TRX is 2624.4$

Prices taken from CoinGecko

Nevermind completely wrong, I missed a 0 in the TRX price.

Question 15

⚽ Sports 🏏

Last night, Brighton beat Chelsea 3-0 to open this weekend's Premier League fixtures.

How many of Chelsea's players that played a part in the match have previously made a 1st team appearance for Brighton?

 last year 

3 players
(Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo, Levi Colwill)

 last year 

✅ That's correct.

Cucurella and Caicedo signed from Brighton whereas Colwill played for Brighton on Loan.

Have no idea about this Premier League! so I asked chatGPT and this was the answer.

02 players (Marc Cucurella & Levi Colwill)

 last year 

👎 It's not 2.

It's amazing how much ChatGPT gets wrong!

2
Marc Cucurella, Moisés Caicedo
(Robert Sánchez was in the squad for the match but did not play, remaining on the bench)

 last year 

👎 Good... but not the correct answer.

Question 12

🔮 What Happens Next? ✨

 last year 

The watermelon - or whatever fruit it is - bounces right back into her face 😆

 last year 

✅ To devestating effect.

The slow-mo replay is brilliant.

 last year 

Good lord...the watermelon was completely smashed! 😬

 last year 

And it's not like a watermelon is a soft fruit either!

 last year 

Sh... getting hit in the face with a giant slingshot-fired watermelon must hurt like hell!

 last year 

"Right in the kisser".

Can you imagine how much that hurt?? I It's amazing she wasn't knocked out!

Question 6

🔮 What Happens Next? ✨

Maybe a bird will eat the butterfly in flight.

 last year 

Wow, I just got lucky.

 last year 

If you don't shoot, you don't score 🙂

 last year 

The mutated butterfly bird poops on the cameraman's lens.

 last year 

👎 The butterfly got gobbled up.

I expected it to return and attack the woman but it didn't.

 last year 

I expected it to be eaten. But since someone was faster again, I had to go one better. With the Pooh... 😉
No, you can't expect me to watch videos like that. And I'm too lazy to do the math right now - I never pay attention to the crypto rates and I gave away all my TRX for Uganda... 🙀

 last year 

It's amazing to see the different trajectory for STEEM and TRX since TRON bought Steemit. I wonder what would have happened if the cartel hadn't had a tantrum. I wonder what would have happened if Justin Sun had maintained his interest after the tantrum ended. It seems crazy that the people responsible for Justin Sun losing interest are gone, allowing them to partially achieve their objective.

SBD got delisted yesterday. I'm feeling all doom and gloom again.

Time to write a "Change Log"...

 last year 

I wonder what would have happened

On the one hand, I think that ‘we’ would have achieved a lot more in terms of further development as a complete, unfragmented group (okay, there's no better way to put it: as a blogger blockchain with a unique selling point). Perhaps even with regard to the crypto price of our coin. BUT there would always have been someone who is jealous of one person and doesn't begrudge the other the butter on their bread. That always happens when money is involved. So sooner or later there would have been ‘war’ again. Only the fronts would have been different, as the big, big stake would have been divided differently.

I'm feeling all doom and gloom again.

Don't! You're taking me down with you.
And I've just found joy in destroying and occasionally puzzling... ;-)

write a "Change Log".

Great and detailed!
I read it (of course, otherwise I wouldn't vote...), but once again I hardly understood anything. So please don't be annoyed if I don't comment - it would just be silly nonsense again anyway... ;-P

 last year 

BUT there would always have been someone who is jealous of one person and doesn't begrudge the other the butter on their bread.

Yes, very true. It would never have been peaceful as those same idiots proved with their Korean war. Too stubbon, arrogant and proud to move on. Even now, they're not happy with their own empire!

Ok, I won't take you down 😆

I'm hoping that I can get one more set of changes in before the current proposal ends in a couple of weeks. Even if it's just a few bug fixes, I should try to get something done.

Then, I need to decide whether to put in for another term in office. There's still plenty to do but with the SBD price so low... and uncertainty as to what comes next with it, I'm feelings cautious about it. I'd have to ask for about 140 SBD per day, nearly 5 times the current proposal!

Decisions, decisions.

 last year 

Putting the puzzles in a story line is much more creative.
But I prefer the direct questions. I can concentrate better on the individual question and don't have to keep going back into the story because I'm afraid of missing something. And then I was disappointed too often because other guessers solved the pre-requisite question before me, which made the next one easy. But I was still looking...

Speaking of guessing: a handful of quiz fans (including the quizmaster himself...) took part in our replacement event over the weekend. Word 08 is still available - first come, first served!

 last year 

We accepted defeat long before Week 5 even started, so any nervousness is pretty much out the window 😆

I liked the storyline simply because it was new, but I prefer direct questions - they're much more convenient, no need to keep track of everything. Not that it matters, since most of the questions were posted while my teammates and I were asleep 😅🙁

 last year 

I enjoyed the story - it allowed my imagination to run a bit wild with where to go next. Where would we have flown to from Boise Airport? Disneyland probably 😆

🎶🦕

 last year 

And we'll probably be guessing which rides you went on there 😂

🎶🦕

 last year 

Genius! I could've found a Minecraft video with the ride and you'd have to guess!

 last year 

You can still make that happen. As far as I know, there’s nothing the-gorilla couldn’t do 😎

Perhaps at the accepted time...(seriously, that would have been epic!)
🎶🦕

 last year 

Oooo, you could be correct. I could have a Minecraft round where you need to figure out what it is!

Assuming a Google Image Search doesn't make it too easy!

 last year 

 last year 

I’ve never noticed it before, SpongeBob could easily be in Minecraft!

Henry, you seem to be making our lives harder🤭

Everything is fine, Mr. Gorilla! We are still in a great mood, with a huge lead over our closest pursuers, so we have nothing to worry about.

Thank you for the questions, we see how hard you tried. Please try a little less so that it's easier for us to guess your riddles🥹

 last year 

I'll get back to the classics 🙂

@the-gorilla
As you keep downvoting that farm, you will get downvotes back :-)

Keep pleasing well your Chinese overlords here as it is always a fragile state here on this shitty platform. You can easily fall out of favour of your Big Brother here :-)

I will ask some buddies from Hive to use their old accounts on Steemit to add some
nukes to your posts here.

 last year (edited)

Suit yourself. I explained why those comments got downvoted and why I left the rest alone. If you want me to downvote all of them, then I will.

I actually thought I was being reasonable. I guess that’s over now.

If you stop downvoting them, I will stop downvoting yours.
It is that simple. Game theory.

You should care less about this platform and join Hive instead.

 last year 

You care a lot for somebody who doesn't give a shit.

It is that simple. Game theory.

I know it well. So let's keep playing.

Since you refuse to stop the aggression that you started, I will not be polite anymore.

Since you refuse to stop the reward farming that you started, I will continue to politely downvote you.
