Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread (Week 3 questions, page 6)

Judging by the first two weeks, the questions have been a lot more divisive, leading to lower scores. Well done.

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread (Week 3 questions, page 6)

We have four competitors who only competed in one of the two weeks, which is acceptable since the lowest score is dropped. But while they occupy the lowest four spots on the Week 2 rankings, Guy_Incognito reigns over all with consecutive wins. Here are those rankings:

1. Guy_Incognito — 268
2. McNuggetsMan — 250
T3. EstreetJoe — 241

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread (Week 3 questions, page 6)

And, a little statistical analysis:

• The average score for the first round was 99.0.
• The average score for the second round was 113.
• The average total score is 199.9.
• Hank_Scorpio was the only competitor to win consecutive rounds last session. Ergo, Simpsons fans are good at Sheep.
• Pilot appears to have abdicated.
• Versatile is 43 points ahead of MisterCreosote.
