5 Points – Do Thomas or Chad perform the Roadblock?
5 points - 11 people answered this question - No  (Thanks Peach, thats 5 points you cost me!!!)

And I know!! I changed my answer too! Steph's arms must be bigger than I thought. 

[MamaT]

5 Points – Do Thomas or Chad perform the Roadblock?
5 points - 11 people answered this question - No  Z(Thanks Peach, thats 5 points you cost me!!!)

I fell for Peach's mis information too.  However, by the time I got around to changing my answer, it was too late. So last week I got points for nagging, and this week procrastination saved me 5 points.  This is such a great game!!


   Congrats mswood, great job this week!

[gingerman28]

Iin question no. 4, we never see anyone actually getting into a cab.  We see Brook and Claire already seated in the cab.  In the previous scene if you look closesly you do see two people with red baseball caps (Chad and Steph) approaching a cab and opening the door.  But it is too quick and too far away to actually tell who the couple is.   Oh, I love to nitpick

[georgiapeach]

And we love to have you nitpick, MR G-Man!!!

Oh hell I didn't think about that.  This question is going to change.

[mswood]

You can now only pick one team, though of course their will be several teams that give you a correct answer.  So fairly easy five points there.

[mswood]

I also think how I can ask that or a similar question next week.  By awarding negative points for inaccurate answers and positive ones for correct answers.  I am going to test the system early next week to see if the game can handle that.

I wanted to suggest that too, but i don't really know if your system program actually allows that or not. IMO, i thought it will be a disaster to score.

[mswood]

Due to Daylights Savings Time, I am now manually adjusting the clock to stop the game.

[mswood]

Game is closed.  The clock worked fine, I seemed to remember it driving us crazy the last two years.
