Any guidelines for the optimal number of answers to a question?

Wow, almost full already. I'm thinking we'll start this league ASAP then with last year's NFL schedule instead of waiting for the spring and summer.

Also, thanks to whoever added the question count formula next to the signups.

Good morning!!!!!! You're in but haven't signed up for questions.
Shirley wrote: Thu Jan 23, 2020 9:53 pm Any guidelines for the optimal number of answers to a question?
I'd say 10 is the sweet spot but it depends on how many of the choices are things that most people would never know. If it's something like "name a color of the rainbow", fewer answers can be fun. I've also done ones with like 14 or 16. (Or 15, for you weirdos who use odd numbers to estimate)
Brontoburglar wrote: Thu Jan 23, 2020 10:37 pm how many questions per category should we submit?
If any of them are as difficult as the one you just sent, you may want to send a couple extras...
I think the last time we did it this way, most people just sent me one for each category and I was able to use it with little to no editing or additional hints. If I have a question about one or I just don't think it works, I may get out the reject stamp.

5 or 4? Because if you're at 28, we could just replay the schedule from some random 1980's season, complete with vintage youtube videos.

However and whenever we decide to do it, there will be 10 questions per week. Half sports and half not. Without Googling, you'll send me answers and your score will go up everytime someone else gives the same answer (or way up if you're wrong). Low score wins.

I'm asking everyone to contribute two questions so use that link in the first post to add your name to the list and to 2 category slots you want to give me questions for.

I had actually found a decent explanation somewhere on here just before the swampcrashed last week. If ryan's explanation below doesn't do it, let me know and I'll look for it again.

Your goal is to answer with a correct answer that the fewest number of players answer. The fun of it is debating whether your super-obscure answer will be 1 point, because nobody else knows it, or whether everyone on here are a bunch of trivia junkies who know everything, and you get saddled with a ton of points, because everyone else said the same obscure thing. (then you take the middle road of choosing a wrong answer, which gives you the highest point answer plus 5).

OK, looks like we're going with the same format as last time - I'll come up with the top 8 players, assign them a random team from each of the 8 divisions, and then fill everyone else in randomly. The draw will be posted...today at 11AM!
