Chapter Eleven: What Lies Beneath
« on: November 21, 2021, 08:05:59 pm »
This challenge requires you to answer a series of 20 questions. However, you shouldn't necessarily answer honestly -- instead, your goal is to guess what the most popular answers will be.

In essence, we are playing a modified version of What Were You Thinking. You will answer all of the questions at once, and they will then be processed in order, starting with Question 1. Your goal is to avoid having the least popular answer(s). You score points for each answer you give equal to the number of players who gave that answer, so long as that number is at least 2. Lone answers score no points.

Each round, the player(s) with the lowest score will be eliminated, unless that would eliminate everyone. If eliminated, your remaining answers will still be used to score the remaining rounds.

However, there is a bit of a twist to this challenge: not just you, but every player who was ever in the game is playing in this challenge. Eliminated players will "play" using the answers they gave in round 1. Those of you who are remaining will just submit your answers like normal. These fake players can be eliminated from the challenge (potentially sparing real players), but they cannot win it. Note that these fake players were not told they should choose the most popular answers, which may affect scoring.

Should more than one player survive all 20 questions, we will use total score as a tiebreaker.

You may not discuss the challenge in any way with your fellow competitors until the results are posted. The use of outside sources for this challenge are strictly forbidden.

Here are the prompts:

1. What are the five most recognized brand names in the world?
2. Name three mythical creatures.
3. Who are the three hottest celebrities?
4. What are the four most popular video games of all time?
5. Who are the four most famous people on Earth?
6. Name two fads.
7. Name five school subjects.
8. What is your favorite season?
9. Name four objects.
10. Name five countries.
11. What are the 3 most common names for baby girls in France this year?
12. Business or pleasure?
13. Name 4 tools.
14. If you had to choose 2 of these food groups to go without for the rest of your life, what would you choose? (fruit, vegetables, grains, sweets, dairy, meat)
15. Name 3 movies everyone should see.
16. Which 3 avatars (players, specs, mods) in this game are the most visually appealing?
17. Name a fictional robot.
18. What is the longest book you can think of?
19. Name three farm animals.
20. I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. What is it?

You have 24 hours to answer in your confessional.
