BTTF Collective - "Let's see if you bastards can do 90!"

[Marty McFly]

Thought we might give a quiz type thread a try. If this goes well then there might be more to come. Everyone get involved!

Back to the Future Collective Quiz
"Let's see if you bastards can do 90!"

Rules

• The objective of the Back to the Future Collective Quiz is to answer each of the questions with what you feel the most common answers will be.
  
• Example:
  
  
  Spoiler: show

  1. S Name a character in the Simpson's immediate family (the five family members who live together).
  
  
• The S marks the question as a standard question. More on this shortly.
• The most obvious answer to this question would be Homer. If Homer is chosen by most of the other contestants then you will win more points for that question.
• The point system works as follows: If four other people answer with Homer and you yourself also chose Homer, then you will be awarded five points (a single point for each person who voted Homer). If you chose Lisa and only one other person chose Lisa, then you will be awarded two points. If you chose Maggie but no one else chose her then you will be award one point.
• Some questions will be marked with a R. This stands for a reverse question.
  
• Lets use the same example as before:
  
  
  Spoiler: show

  1. R Name a character in the Simpson's immediate family (the five family members who live together).
  
  
• Because this is a reverse question, the idea is to choose the character you feel is the LEAST likely to be chosen by other contestants. Therefore Homer may be a BAD choice because he might be the most popular answer. Therefore selecting a character such as Maggie may be preferable, UNLESS other contestants think in the same way as you and then Maggie will become the MOST popular choice and Homer the least. The goal of R questions is to therefore is to give an obscure answer but you have to take reverse psychology into the equation with these questions.
• The points system for R questions works as follows: If four people answer with Homer and you also answer with Homer then will you have five points DEDUCTED from your score. If you choose Maggie and no one else has chose Maggie then you will have only ONE point deducted from your score which is also the lowest possible score deduction from an R question.
• Your answers obviously have to be correct. Therefore you can't answer the Simpson's question with Stewie Griffin since that answer would be incorrect. Incorrect answers or unanswered question will result in a TEN POINT PENALTY!
• However: If TWO or more people submit the SAME incorrect answer then there will be NO penalty and the points system will work the same as it would if the answer were correct. This means that if you don't KNOW an answer, you can try and guess an incorrect answer that MIGHT be picked by someone else and therefore receive some points.
• Not attempting to answer a question will result in a FIFTEEN POINT PENALTY!
• Some questions may contain multipliers. This means that your score (whether it be a positive or a negative) will be multiplied by that number.
• Example:
  
  
  Spoiler: show

  1. S x2 Name a character in the Simpson's immediate family (the five family members who live together).
  
  
• If you answered Bart and four other people answered Bart you would usually be awarded a total of five points - however here due the multiplier, this number would be multiplied by a factor of two, giving you a score of ten points. If you answered Krusty the Clown (which is an incorrect answer) you would usually be penalised by ten points, however due to the multiplier you would be penalized a total of twenty points. If you failed to answer this question then you will be penalised a total of thirty points instead of the usual fifteen. This is the same for all multiplier questions however the number of the multiplier itself may alter.
• There will be three rounds in total with ten questions per round - users are asked to submit questions via PM to myself, you can do that here: ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=2

You may USE http://www.google.co.uk to research your answers in this match!

1. However you may NOT discuss your answers with members of HOTpopcorn. A 250 POINT PENALTY WILL BE GIVEN TO ANYONE THOUGHT TO BE OR PROVED TO BE DOING SUCH THINGS!
2. Just try your best to answer the questions correctly using your own knowledge.
3. Incorrect spelling will be penalised with the deduction of five points from your final score.
4. Your answers must be sent via PM to me. You can do so here: ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=2
5. Once THREE contestants have submitted there answers via PM to myself, the quiz will officially close exactly one week later. Giving other contestants one week to submit there answers. Once the quiz has closed NO answers are allowed to be submitted.
6. The questions should NOT be included in your PM. Only the question numbers followed by your answers, each on a separate line. FIVE points will be deducted immediately from anyone who fails to do this!
7. The person with the highest score is crowned WINNER and the results shall be submitted in this thread!
8. You may of course discuss the quiz in this thread (but not your answers)!

Wow another quiz I can't wait to get started.

[Marty McFly]

Right two places are already gone! Only three remaining.

[Marty McFly]

All contestants should give the rules a read. There's a few new ones in there.

[The Doctor]

am gonna enter this too, if that is ok!

[Marty McFly]

"You're the Doc, Doc!"

[Marty McFly]

As you're probably already aware, I'm accepting sent-in questions for this match. Here are the rules for sent-in questions:

Spoiler: show

• Do NOT post your questions in any topic on the website. PM them directly to myself. You can do so here: http://www.hotpopcorn.co.uk/thetastymov ... ompose&u=2
• Do NOT discuss your questions with ANY member of the website. The consequences of such actions will be SEVERE.
• Make your questions related to the BACK TO THE FUTURE films.
• Do not send in questions that only have ONE answer. This defeats the object of the game.
• Do not go to the other end of the scale and choose questions that have an infinite amount of answers. It's about balance.
• Make your questions sensible and interesting.
• Make your question diverse: They can range from being fairly easy to extremely hard - just make sure there's plenty from each side and some from the middle.
• I want 10-15 questions per contestant. However if you wish to send more then you are more than welcome. Remember the more you send, the more likely your questions will be included in the match.

The person who donates the most questions that are used in the final game, will have a place reserved for them in the next match, meaning they won't have to worry about the game running out of places for them.

[Padme Skywalker]

Count me in too

[Marty McFly]

Only one place remaining!

[Phoebe]

Count me in for the BTTF Collective! Looks fun.

[The Doctor]

marty, do you want the possible answers sent along with the questions - this may seem like a stupid question, but you have said that you would like to take part in this quiz and i was wondering if you wanted the answers available to you? i don't know if any of that made sense, it did to me, but it could just be that it only makes sense to me!

[Marty McFly]

NO! Don't send the answers with the questions. Just the questions themselves. Remember to make it so that the questions have multiple correct answers also.

[Marty McFly]

Thank-you to the Doctor who has sent me 10 questions. He now has a place already reserved on the next Collective game.

If anybody else wants to submit the questions (JUST the questions, no answers and no need to state whether they're S or R), then please PM me with them.

[Marty McFly]

The Doctor is the only contestant to have sent some questions in so far. Anybody else going to contribute?

[Marty McFly]

I've received some questions from both Padme and The Doctor now. Thanks guys. You both have places reserved in the next collective game.

[The Doctor]

so when does this quiz start?

[Marty McFly]

I want some more questions in first. I could also do with a spreadsheet to work the scores out as we go this time.

[Phoebe]

I'll be sending some questions in ASAP.

[Batman]

I have sent a couple of questions in.

[The Doctor]

how many people are going to take part, how many questions are there going to be, and are they going to be seperate into rounds? also, are there going to be tie breakers too?

[Marty McFly]

Three rounds, ten questions per round. However there may be some multipliers (see rules for info).

[The Doctor]

have done the basics, but will finalise the coding once the questions have been set

[Marty McFly]

[Phoebe]

Ok, I've sent some questions in but still have my thinking cap on to see if I can come up with anymore!
