    Owl_on_Caffeine, that's an amazing score!
    Gawadrolt and PenguinDJ did pretty great too.
    In fact, everyone participating did good trying, and recognising how fun this is ;)
    Places 2 to 9 are actually all pretty close together.
    To PineappleGem and Gearmaster09: not too many points, but I hope it was still lots of fun! I know I surely loved your participating (spiced the answers up a bit ;)).

    You can download the spreadsheet containing all answers here. It's a nice way to view everything, and it's also very useful if you'd like to host a round yourself in the future.
    Speaking of hosting a round, pm me if you'd like to be a future host!

    I'll leave the discussing of the questions and answers to you. There were certainly some interesting ones in there!

  2. I knew I wasn't gonna do too well on that one, but I pretty proud of being that awesome pie-picking strategy. :p Thanks for another fun round! :D

  3. Yay! new record! (my old one was about 5 lol)
    *facepalm*... I did that test where I asked my family how they would do it, almost all said 3 (the same one I wanted to choose), so I chose 2 instead... xD
    I also realized 4 probably is a bit much, I thought people would choose around three, what would make 6 other pieces when there were 2 other players on the same cake. I thought 4 would be a good fit.

    But... it turns out, people are greedy these days and take 4 or even...
    so yah...

    The other questions were pretty easy to answer I think.
    EDIT: I realize I wouldnt have got anything at cake 3 too lol.
    Another edit: I beated hash! I have reached something in my life now :D

  10. Okay, there has been too much delay now because of problems with the host (no offence), and I'm now incredibly busy. So next round will start later.
  11. It's finally here, people! I found time to write up the post.

    Round 5 (host: Owl_on_Caffeine, 11 questions)

    Questions 1-10 have normal Feud scoring.
    1. Name a card game you can play with one deck of cards.
    2. Name a genre of books. (Fiction and non-fiction don't count.)
    3. Name an element.
    4. Name a series that has grown to have a large fan-fiction following.
    5. Name a mythical creature.
    6. Name a famous scientist.
    7. Name a famous invention.
    8. Name a scientific law.
    9. Name a vegetable.
    10. Name an item in a mad scientist's laboratory.
    11. Micro Race.
    Everyone has been shrunk in a nuclear accident. You have to work together to race to a laboratory where you will be reverted back to normal size, in order of cars that get there. There are 4 cars and 3 parts that must be managed per car. The parts are steering wheel, pedals, and gear shift. The cars go 50 m.p.h. at full speed. The catch is that for every part not being controlled, the car slows down 15 m.p.h. and for every spot that is overfilled, the car slows down 5 m.p.h. for every extra person there. Pick a car number 1 through 4 and name a part in that car for you to control.
    Now everyone gets to set a speed limit between 1 and 50. I will be averaging these out after getting every answer. If your car goes over the speed limit, you're placed in a second priority bracket.
    The order of arrival at the laboratory is by speed, where the highest will arrive first. But the cars in the second priority bracket (those that exceed the speed limit) start after all the cars not exceeding the speed limit have arrived.
    The people in the car that places first will get 1 point, those in the car that's second 0.75, then 0.50 for the third car, and 0.25 for the last one.
    So, an example answer:
    If you have any questions, send them in a pm to Owl_on_Caffeine and 607.

    That's also how you should submit your answers.
    Don't talk about the questions in this thread until the round is over.

    Oh, and if you'd like to be host in a future Feud: pm 607!

  12. Oh, oops! To confirm: there are indeed only 11 questions, I made an error in the post header. (which was now fixed)
  13. Um, bump, I guess... we need more people joining! :)
  14. Sorry, I forgot about this! >.< I'll submit my answers in a couple of hours. :)

  15. I"m in too but why do we have to pm you
  16. Because I am the creator of the thread. I trust Owl_on_Caffeine as a host, but to make sure things do not go wrong I need to keep an eye on it.
  17. If we don't get more entries, some of the cars from question 11 aren't even going to be used, I think :p
  18. No more people joining? Oh well :/
  19. Because we aren't getting any more entrants, I will be calculating the scores soon. They will also hopefully be posted soon. Please don't send in any more answers while I'm calculating, as they will not be counted after this point for this round. :)
