Sporcle II
Give this a shot, eh. "Movies with one-word titles". 30. 7 minutes. You get the last names of the director and a principal actor and the release year. I think that I spelled everything right. But a second pair of eyes will usually catch errors I missed. Might be a couple of tricky ones. Nothing obscure. I'd be surprised if there was anything there you didn't know.

24. only took me about three minutes, either I know it or no amount of time will help. spaced on some I should've gotten (oldman, fucking pacino, you know, there are a lot of different keatons in hollywood).
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

Re: Sporcle II
That was a fun one. I got 21. Should have gotten a few more. Hell, I own one of the movies I missed (and I don't own that many movies).

I got 7 and a bonus. Better than I thought. That #3 answer is crazy.govmentchedda wrote:That's fucking crazy.

I got 9 and the bonus. #3 was a lucky guess based on personal experience.

This is great. I've got 21 already, and 7 minutes left to ponder the other 19.

Re: Sporcle II
That was actually really cool, and I haven't followed baseball for 20 years. I got 11, and around 7 or 8 correct answers I guessed in the wrong place and wasn't smart enough to think of again. A majority of the players were active at some point during my fandom.

Re: Sporcle II
Went back and got two more, then got frustrated and gave up. Looking at the ones I missed, I should've gotten at least 3-4 more.

Re: Sporcle II
That's a great puzzle, but you need a lot more than 18 minutes. I quit before they showed the answers so I could do it again.
Re: Sporcle II
I'm terrible at uniform numbers for any sport. I just so rarely pay attention. For some reason, I've just always gone by size/shape/position/etc of the player instead.
Totally Kafkaesque
Re: Sporcle II
Throughout childhood and teen years, knowing uniform numbers was part of being a fan and a point of pride. Now, I'm hard pressed to fill out the Giants scorecard at the end of a season of daily viewing. I'd need three guesses to tell you Panda's number.

Re: Sporcle II
I've watched pretty much every UVA basketball game for the past two years, but I don't think I could tell you any player's number. I might remember London Perrantes's, but only because I read about how he changed to 32 this year to honor Magic Johnson.howard wrote:Throughout childhood and teen years, knowing uniform numbers was part of being a fan and a point of pride.

Re: Sporcle II
I made a quiz. Chedda messed it up because I guess he subscribes to me? I dunno. Anyway, just was rolling around in bed last night and this just wouldn't get out of my head.

Note: The number listed in the clue is the current record, not what the record was when the record was broken. There are decoy answers in there as well and you can only miss three times before YOU LOSE.

Re: Sporcle II
Didn't turn out like I hoped - with lots of road names that subtly hinted at where you were. There were a few of those, but it mostly either "Bill Walsh Way" or "2nd St".

Re: Sporcle II
That was pretty cool. I got to 21 with 2 misses. A couple more minutes would have helped.

If you're talking about MetLife, that one was perfect.
