!20 Questions Contest!

[WebLady]

Ok this contest will be about guessing what we are thinking of ;) We will give you a clue as to if it is a person, place or thing, and/or animal, vegetable or mineral; then you all will have to ask us yes or no questions until someone can figure it out.

You can ask only one question at a time (eta - this means that you have to wait for someone else to ask another question or post a guess before you can post again) and post only one guess at a time. If someone posts the correct answer at the same time, the post that shows up first will get the points.

Each topic will be worth 10 pts as long as you get the answer in 10 or less questions, then the points go down to 5. If no one gets it in 20 questions, then we will give the answer and move on to something else.

Hints to remember; we may use famous people, celebrities, board members, famous places or things, or even fictional stuff ;)

ETA - Remember that we can only answer yes or no to your questions, so part of the game is asking the right questions

The contest will run through this Friday, November 9th; we will have 2 winners. First place gets $50 via PayPal and second place gets this wedding CD (http://forums.onewed.com/showthread.php?t=11223)

We will have 2-3 "rounds" per day, but there will be no set time as to when exactly they will be, so don't ask :rassberry:

This contest is open to everyone so I hope to see you all playing :frogg:

Have Fun!

[bichonlvr]

Poop I was going to say that but I thought, No, Brandi wouldn't be thinking of her :)

[WebLady]

Britney Spears?
That is it, good job!

Looks like there were 6 questions before your right answer, so you get 10 pts :frogg:

More later :D

[domeafavor]

That is it, good job!

Looks like there were 6 questions before your right answer, so you get 5 pts :frogg:

More later :D

Are you saying there were only 6 questions left to ask so that is why it is 5 points? I thought since there were only 6 asked I would get 10 points because it was under 10 questions asked.

[WebLady]

Are you saying there were only 6 questions left to ask so that is why it is 5 points?
The game is "20 questions"; everyone has up to 20 questions in order to get hints as to what it is. If you can get it right with only 1-10 questions you get 10 pts; if you get it after 10 questions up to the 20, then it is 5 pts.

So you actually get the 10 pts; I was thinking 10 total, my bad :geek:

[domeafavor]

Thanks Brandi. I'm kinda surprised you were thinking of Britney Spears like missmess said.

[EarlyBird]

In the words of a 13 YO My bad :)

I don't think my question of is he an adult got answered.

I am pretty sure she answered yes!

[70707Bride]

Ok thanks I guess I missed it lol.

[firespirit]

How can you get an answer if you don't guess?

What I meant was people randomly guessing takes away from the 20 questions we are allowed to ask.

[NicksBride]

mmmm is it Brad Pitt?

YEAAAA Jenna!
She got it. SO she gets 5 points.
Sorry was on phone...
Another one will come later on this afternoon!!!

[tinkerjew]

What I meant was people randomly guessing takes away from the 20 questions we are allowed to ask.

But you have to use those questions to guess. Maybe they should set up a system of like, 3-5 guesses for each person or something so that it doesn't take away from questions. Good point!

[tinkerjew]

Way to go, Jenna! Wooohooooo!!!!

[s_r_d3]

Good Job Jenna!! I think Brad Pitt is more blonde then brown lol.

[JennaCanada]

woot woot:jphappy: I did it!!

[JennaCanada]

Good Job Jenna!! I think Brad Pitt is more blonde then brown lol.

He could be bald and still look good!!

[70707Bride]

He could be bald and still look good!!

I don't care for him. Hehe.

[JennaCanada]

I don't care for him. Hehe.
I think either you do or you don't.........I just remember him in the Fight Club, loved him after I saw it!

[NicksBride]

Good Job Jenna!! I think Brad Pitt is more blonde then brown lol.

hahaha, well he changes daily. :)

[s_r_d3]

It would be crazy to be a mod rightnow.

I agree, these mods are great having to deal with this and then mod'ing the board as well. Well done Mods!!! :frogg:

[70707Bride]

Well he's a good actor but I think others look better lol. That's just me, I'm weird.

[s_r_d3]

Well he's a good actor but I think others look better lol. That's just me, I'm weird.

LOL No your not weird at all. I agree with you.

[tinkerjew]

Well he's a good actor but I think others look better lol. That's just me, I'm weird.

Me, too! I never really saw what the big deal was with Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. Brad looked HOT along with George Clooney and Matt Damon in Ocean's Eleven, though!

[70707Bride]

Me, too! I never really saw what the big deal was with Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. Brad looked HOT along with George Clooney and Matt Damon in Ocean's Eleven, though!

Tom Cruise was hotter when he was younger like in Top Gun!

[firespirit]

Tom Cruise was hotter when he wasn't a Scientologist... Something about having to be quite during child birth, I have no idea how Katie did it.

[70707Bride]

Tom Cruise was hotter when he wasn't a Scientologist... Something about having to be quite during child birth, I have no idea how Katie did it.

Yeah, I think that was kinda weird, I mean, just because you believe it doesn't mean that you should make other people do what it requires. I have no idea how she did it either, I can't even imagine.

[Smashingpennies]

Unless you had an epidural or spinal block even then there is NO WAY you can keep untirely quite during child birth. I have had three kids, last two via c-section and while I felt just pressure no pain until after, I still talked. I THOUGHT IT WAS CRAZY, WHEN I HEARD.

[70707Bride]

I bet if Tom was in that position, he couldn't even do it, more power to Katie!

[frenchie]
