SGM: Winning Lines! - Game Over! The Fonz wins!

Somestrangeflea's Gameshow Marathon has come to MafiaScum! It's basically where you can take part in lesser known game shows, in a tournament-like way...

Marathon Wiki

The Marathon is set up with three opening rounds, with the winner from each going on to a 1v1 semi-final, and the winner of that going on to the final! It's not a particularly radical concept, but still...

Anyhoo, Round 1 is Winning Lines.

The first round starts with all the contestants being assigned a number. There are 6 questions in this round. I will then post one question with a numerical answer, and lock the thread, every day at 1PM EST/6PM UK Time. Players can then PM their answers to me for the next 24 hours. The player who sends the correct answer in first, goes through to round 2 of the game. Anyone else who sends in a correct answer, along with anyone who didn't send in any answer, is back in the game, and can answer the next question. Anyone who sends in an incorrect answer is immediately out of the game.

In round 1, players can edit their answers until the deadline is up, but cannot withdraw their answer. Each day, a new question will be posted, and the correct and eliminated players will be revealed.

Players:

2. JDodge
3. The Fonz
6. inHimshallibe
7. bethelmark
9. BrazeGoesMoo
12. ~N9V~

Round 2 begins soon. Rules can be found here...

Signup extended until tomorrow.

Because a 6 hour sign-up just isn't right...

Would I be correct in thinking there's actually no point in answering if you're not first, and you think the first person to post got it right?

Answers in round 1 are given via PM.

Ah, I see. It threw me when you said players could edit their answers.

Yeah. If a player sends more than one PM, only the latest one will count. But this also counts for time as well.

Simplified!

If you get the question right, first, you go through.
If you get the question wrong, you go out.
If you don't answer, or get the question right, but not first, nothing happens.
