SHEEP Playoffs - Week 2 of 5 (Friday Reveal)
 
OK, so I got these up earlier than I thought. Welcome to Week 2 of 5 of the Sheep Playoffs!! Again, everyone can still play, even if you've never entered before. Actually, I think it'd be cool if we got two more first-time entrants, as we've had 98 unique players so far, and it'd be neat to say the eventual Champ was the best of 100. New Sheepers will just be added to the "Consolation Standings" (next post).

I can already anticipate the "ZOMG these questions are too hard!!" comments, but just take your time, use Google if you like, and do the best you can. You obviously won't need to be anywhere near perfect to win, and it's all relative - you're playing against everyone else that enters, not against the questions. Next week maybe the opposite will be true and you'll need eleven or twelve #1's to win.

I don't think I need to explain much else - we've been doing this for months now. Just PM me your answers by 12:30PM EDT Friday - entries and changes will be accepted up until then. The standings thru Week 1 will be in the following post.


POG SHEEP PLAYOFFS - WEEK 2 OF 5

1. A non-Ivy league college/university with a great academic reputation
2. A movie in which Kevin Bacon appeared
3. String _______
4. A famous volcano
5. A country whose flag is predominantly blue
6. The time you wake up on a Saturday
7. A slang term for a police officer
8. The tastiest type of seafood
9. Something that would be considered a "white-collar" crime
10. Good _______
11. Besides Brazil, an country known as an international soccer power
12. A branch of mathematics

I actually don't think they're that bad.

But what do I know, I've been sucking ass this last month.

I was really planning on making a run for the consolation title. After this week I'm quite sure, I'll be back down where I belong.

Wow. I anticipate substantial googling will be required this week.

No googling so I'll probably be all kinds of wrong

I realized today that I'm probably going to miss the last week...because I'll be on vacation in Switzerland. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

We're up to 26 now, with 7 of the 20 contenders in (dmk entered since the last update.)

Seems to be a good mix of tough and easy questions - five questions have a majority #1 answer, and there's a sixth right at 50%, but nobody has more than 8 of 12 right at the moment.

Less than 24 hours!

I'm not sure my name deserves to be in bold after the last 3-4 weeks. I mean, I'm not really in the championship chase anymore anyway, LOL.

And by "LOL" I mean "sigh" ...

Re: SHEEP Playoffs - Week 2 of 5 (Friday Reveal)
 
We're up to 30, and I may not check in again til the morning. 9 of 20 of the Championship qualifiers are now in for Week 2, the latest two being gharp and jjp, who leads after Week 1.

48 in - looks like we'll get to our usual 50. And we're only waiting on Patton and OldTimey out of the Top 20, and I doubt OldTimey will show...

Also, this reveal might be a little rougher than normal - I'm on my home computer for a change, and it's been having problems lately. I'll do my best though. Should be right on time.

I feel really good about my answers this week.

No chance of getting my hopes up, only to be dashed by a bad performance on the later questions.
