I know this is late, but do we take for granted that you made a typo in one question, or do we base our answer on the exact wordage of your question?  It really makes a difference in how you grade our replies.

I assume now that you wrote the question correctly, so my answer is based upon that wordage and not what you might have meant the question to read.  And since you do not include "no one" as a possible answer I would believe that the answer "something else" would include "no one" since that is indeed something else.

I'm going on record now, because I know this will end up in a big fight when the answers are revealed.  We have to go on what is actually written not what might be intended.

Hey G-Man

I am now hoping the wording is correct on the game (since I do sometimes correct errors when actually posting to the game).

As it is now I would never change a question (I don't like to do that much later then the next day just in case some people have already played).

But if I worded something crazy off memory I am going with the money question, then I do actually believe their is more then one possible answer (which wasn't done on purpose) but since it is there, I would take either.

A'right?

I was kinda shocked only me and one other person picked Brent. Kinda obvious with all his dumb "blondes" moments. Such as... you know... "Anonymous"? :lol:

Actually, based upon how question number one was written on the test, the correct answer should be "no one"

No one said: "I fell like I'm In, Like Sicily?"

The question still says, Who states the Title?  The fact there was a misspelling doesn't affect the answer.  Brent stated the title.

Jet and Cord First Place - 7 times

Brent and Caite Second Place - 6 times

Dan and Jordan Third Place - 3 times

Louie and Michael Fourth place - 3 times

Well, since nobody did say "I fell like I’m In, Like Sicily", and there was no option to say nobody said it, I think everyone should get points.

I'm so sorry to tell this, but can we just use our common sense sometimes? It's true that it is only a typographical error. Sorry to counter you Gman, but I wouldn't be so desperate for scores.

Yeah since i have , often before had spelling errors and not voided out the question, I can't in good faith do it here. 

My only other option is to not award any points to this question.  Not that anyone picked Someone or something else (which didn't apply as no one or no thing stated the title of the episode (no matter the spelling).

Those are my choices Brent  who did state the title, just not as I spelled it but it was the episode title, or nothing.

Just to quibble.  Oh this is fun.

Brent & Caite are actually awarded 2nd place 7 times.

Leaving the Pit Stop
Finishing the 1st Roadblock
Getting the Fashion general task clue
Completing the Fashion task
Arriving at the football stadium
Finishing the 2nd roadblock
Arriving at the Pit Stop.

All in jest.  I love that everyone keeps me honest.

I thought the question "How many times is "whoever" awarded "whatever" place?"
meant FOR EACH LEG OF THE RACE, not each TASK of Leg 10!  And based my answers on each Leg. :groan:
