I apologize profusely for the delay. I've been traveling, and was shocked to find that the hotel I am staying at has no internet connection. I may be able to post the scores tomorrow, but it is more likely that it will have to wait until Friday.

In my defense, the title does not say which Friday evening the reveal will be done on. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Is the hourly rate posted, or do you have to ask?

The hotel was, I am meant to believe, charmingly rustic in the German tradition, with the amenities (including the whores) kept to a bare minimum.

Sorry, but today was the worst flight experience of my life. I was stranded in JFK for 7 hours (which couldn't even be put to good use in posting the scores, as I had to keep hoping from desk to desk to get put on different standby lists). Eventually we gave up and rented a car to drive from JFK to home in Richmond, where I just arrived.

Next time any of you has an option between choosing Delta or some other carrier, please choose the other one. Delta has the most useless staff (not just airplane staff, ANY staff, even more so than the DMV). They just seemed totally shocked that we didn't just accept that they canceled our flight and didn't want to wait until tomorrow for the next one.

I'm planning to sleep for ten hours, then I have to drive to the airport to pick up my luggage. But I promise to make every effort to post the wrap-up tomorrow.

BTW, I am just now realizing that maybe the horrible Delta service is karmic retribution for my Nicholasp27ian delay in finishing this. If so, I am truly humbled by the workings of the universe.

I answered the perfect opposite for this, and was going to answer the perfect opposite for the 90210 one

Re: PEEHS - Friday evening reveal
 
Once again, sorry for the long delay everybody. I'd budgeted 4 hours for scoring and posting before my trip, and was not even close. Thanks to Chuck for helping out; he had a somewhat different philosophy for scoring. As he mentioned in his post, there was two parts to most questions, the obvious part, and the non-obvious part. He tended to give more credit to the obvious part than I.

For instance, in the first question, he gave most people a lot of credit for getting the 90210 actors/actresses, while I was a bit more stingy, wanting people to get at the popularity of the actors, particularly after the show. I thought the fact that Hilary Swank was kind of higher than expected would be a clue, although you would have had to have been at least a casual observer of the show to pick up the fine distinction that she was only a small part of 90210.

In retrospect, I wish I gave fnord and Solanthos a little more credit for their answers, as this would have been really tough to nail on the head, and they were pretty close. But I didn't want to change any scores once I saw Chuck's scores.

1.
Shannon Doherty – 15
Luke Perry - 15
Jason Priestley - 12
Hillary Swank - 8
Jenni Garth/Tori Spelling/Tiffani Amber Thiessen - 4
that dude - 1

ANSWER: The actor/actress with the best career after their role in BH 90210?

2.
Corn - 28
popcorn - 17
steak/spinach - 6
chicken-wings - 5
broccoli/meat - 3
vegetables/pepper-spices/lettuce-salad - 2
apple/sesame seeds/celery - 1

ANSWER: The type of food that gets stuck in your teeth most often?

In retrospect, this probably was too hard. Much respect to those that got this right. It looks like Chuck gave out some points to those he considered reasonable guesses, which I can see the point of. Some of the incorrect guesses were pretty good.

3.
Stanford Tree - 37
Duke Blue Devil - 11
UVA Cavalier - 9
Syracuse Orange - 6
Brutus OSU Buckeye - 3
WVU Mountaineer/WKU Hilltopper - 2
NCST Wolf/GT Yellow Jacket/VT Hokie/Kansas St/U of Miami Ibis/UNC Tarhole/WFU Demon Deacon - 1

ANSWER: The dumbest looking mascot in college football?

This was one that was tough to nail directly. Also, unlike most of the other questions, chuck and I had different opinions over which answers were better than others (for instance, he gave Roundtower a 6, while I skunked him). In retrospect, I probably should have given Roundtower some points for getting the football aspect right. Also, I was probably a little harsh on Aaron for saying "nickname" instead of mascot.

Black - 33
Silver-Gray - 22
Red - 19
White - 17
Blue - 9
Green - 1

ANSWER: The color of your car

I don't understand this question as a sheep question, as I'd think you'd be screwed if you had a weird color car. So I gave full credit to anyone who had gotten the car connection, which was a surprisingly large number of you.

5.
20% - 48
25% - 15
15% - 2
30%/6.9% - 1

ANSWER: percentage you tip for excellent service

Sorry, this was a bad choice; there wasn't enough information. I thought it would be easier since I'd already seen the answer, and the 15% and 20% just kind of clicked with the tipping to me. Congrats to Solanthos and gharp.

Liz Phair – 3
Jewel/Pat Benetar/Joan Jett - 2
Jessica Simpson/Beyonce/J Lo/Stevie Nicks/Christina Aguilera/Pink – 1

ANSWER: The hottest/best looking female rock singer?

Nobody really got the "rock" aspect of the answer, although I see why, as Gwen Stefani, Avril, or Shakira are not really known for the rock music.

ANSWER: Easiest major in college

It was kind of tough to find Sheep questions where the question wasn't immediately obvious if all of the answers were in view. Probably the better way to do it in the future is like with these last two questions, to selectively blackout some of the answers.

Re: PEEHS - Friday evening reveal
 
I liked this a lot, and would definitely play again, although it's clearly much harder to run and mark than regular sheep. In retrospect it was a better idea to put a more complex answer (a 90210 cast member who wears a wig, rather than just a 90210 cast member).

Anyway thanks IY and chuckles
