    34 is more like it. Sometimes all a person needs is a little nudge in the right direction wink
  2. Good luck to the high-flyers! I'm bowing out - I never did have enough stamina for the final straight to the finish line.

    I'm happy if someone else want to play James for the crown, but I only got to 40 on the very generous clues provided and about 15 guess submissions. I'm not worthy to play the master. dizzy

    You know what! I'm too swamped to make another clip and keep tally of guesses for it. So no tiebreaker. Southall wins with just 2 tries. beer
  4. BTW James - if you don't have time to get a new game together for the weekend, I have a spare one that can tide us over another week.

    Thanks for the offer. I hope to be able to put mine together on Friday but may not have time to finish it, so that would be good. I haven't thought of a suitable theme yet, hopefully one will somehow manifest itself in the next couple of days!

    YEAH, MAN!! I RULE!!! biggrin

    Seriously, these are the reasons I scored so high this time:

    1. NO TRACK TITLES! This gave me an added incentive to do some research through composer filmographies and such. This is FUN research, though, unlike putting on a CD and waiting for the excerpted music to arrive, and then looking what track title you're in.
    2. BHELPURI'S CLUES! The majority of the tracks were guessed ONLY through his clues, not because I recognized the music.
    3. MULTIPLE GUESSES! This isn't like a pub quiz where your replies are carved in stone once you deliver your paper. You get to guess as many times as you want.
    4. LOGIC AND DEDUCTION.

    ...and one other reason I'll wait to tell untill it's over.

    If more quizzes are like this, maybe I'll get my quiz self-esteem back!! smile
    I am extremely serious.

    Hey, I was only telling that it was the hint for #2 and not a comment at you (which is what I thought happened based on your earlier response to it). Take it easy, man and good luck for the exams!

    You'll understand his hint, Demetris, when you hear the answers. wink

    I had an exam last friday so I can sympatize. Of course I took the lazy way out, I returned a blank paper and left after 15 minutes, so I can take the re-exam in 4 months time. I'm sure I'll be pissed at myself in 4 months time when I'm studying frantically for that one. But for now I can sit back and relax.

    The next time I make a game I'll be a real bastard. People will only be allowed 2 guesses, and I don't plan to do a theme either. The risk is that no one will want to play the game, and I'll be forced to declare myself the winner.

    Why do you do that. I never understood that. sad

    Perhaps I'm too nerdy when it comes to studying, but believe me, I'm always just right on time and almost never do something bforehand without the pressure of exams.

    Well I strive for high grades but I'm lazy too, a strange combination, but that's the explanation. I'm sure I could have passed the friday exam, but I've skipped too much stuff during the semester so I wouldn't have gotten a very good grade, and therefore I'd rather wait.

    Whoah! That's a lot of stuff for the person hosting the game to keep track of. I started keeping count of the number of correct answers for each clip/composer this time but after 2 days it just became unmanageable.
  6. It would be hard to keep track of the number of guesses of EACH CLIP. It would be easier to say each person could only submit two rounds of guesses overall. But I wouldn't support that myself.

    I DO support that.

    Even though in the past there's games I won over at the old board from multiple guessing.

    I mean, come on, if it were a proper quiz you wouldn't even get a SECOND chance after submitting your answers? I think two guesses and that's it. Perfect!

  7. I don't think it's a bad idea. I just think, having recently run the game though, it would have to be 2 SETS OF GUESSES. Otherwise the poor operator of the game could find themselves struggling to keep track of the scores, as Bhel has related above.
