IMPORTANT - DO NOT POST ANSWERS HERE. INSTEAD, E-MAIL THEM TO ME AT DBCAHILL@DEJAZZD.COM. You might want to read this entire post before answering the questions.
For each of the items below, your objective is to give an answer which is both correct and will be duplicated by as many other people as possible. The highest score wins. You get one point for every person who answers the same as you do (kind of like Match Game)
1. Give the name of any department at Cedar Point.
2. Name any attraction at Cedar Point that contains the letters "A, C, and R" in any order.
3. Give the name of any place at Cedar Point that sells french fries.
4. Give the name of any attraction at Cedar Point that requires a separate charge over and above the price of a Cedar Point park ticket.
5. Excluding roller coasters, name anything on park property that is higher than Breakers Tower.
6. Name any Cedar Point ride which was once in a different location in the park.
7. Name any Cedar Point attraction that opened in the 1990's.
8. Give the screen name of any GTTP member.
9. Name any part of a roller coaster car.
10. Name any food item that can be purchased at the Red Garter Saloon.
For each of the items above, your goal is to give the most common response to the question.
Your score on each question is equal to the number of people who give that answer. If you skip a question or leave it blank, you will score 1 for that question. Your total score is the product of your scores on each question. Your object is to get as high a score as possible.
NO ANSWERS WILL BE JUDGED INCORRECT. As moderator, I will need to decide if two answers are the same, but I will not check the answers for correctness. The object is to get the most common answer, which is not necessarily the most common correct answer. A general class and a specific member of that class will be treated as distinct answers. ("Ford" and "Thunderbird" would be considered distinct answers.)
For example, suppose I ask for a color on the current Cedar Point logo. 20 people say green, 9 say lime, 8 say blue, 5 say red, 4 say orange, 3 say Snoopy, and 1 says dog. The scores are then simply green/lime=29 (as I've decided that they are the same answer), blue=8, red=5, orange=4, Snoopy=3, and dog=1. I ignore the fact that orange is not on the current Cedar Point logo, that Snoopy and dog are not colors, and that a Snoopy is a specific instance of the class dog.
For my convenience, please do not quote this message when responding.
Your message should contain the 10 answers, numbered 1 to 10, and your GTTP screen name. Comments, explanatory notes, explanations of strategy, and suggestions for questions for future contests are all welcome, but please place them after your 10 answers, and make sure that they are clearly marked so as to not be confused with your answers. Clarifications will generally not be given during the contest. Multiple entries are not allowed. Please do not post any discussion of the questions to GTTP or collaborate with other contestants in your entries.
This contest will end Sunday, August 5 at 9:00 PM to give our "weekend warriors" a shot.
Have fun!
