XenoZodiac Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 What? I hated these sort of questions, especially the "difference" ones. Generally not more than one of these type of questions were given in the previous seasons, now they consist of almost all the questions. I particularly remember one question where we were asked the difference between two grosses which were supposed to be close. I predicted something like 1.5M and the result came is 0.4M. I got 0% in that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I like the difficulty rise in questions as the wqeeks progress but I do also understand how sometimes you can do well with an answer and score zero. For example I can see R.I.P.D being responsible for multiple low scores this week as it could literally gross anything from 5 to 25 mil. I think it may be the most results defining film of BOA since Bullet to the Head killed almost everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 0% in that question. I do also agree that it is annoying when you predict something so well and score zero like how you stated but it is part of the game. I remember with our team for fathers day we predicted a super low decrease for MOS on Fathers day that was maybe the best prediction of any team (although only creator will know if its true) but the decrease was so small in the end that you either would have scored 100% or 0% and thus we scored zero. It's just how the cookie crumbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 The conjouring is hurting me this week, just having to hope its hurting others a lot more. If this week had been just flat out weekend predicts of R.I.P.D, Turbo, Red and GU2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this week had been just flat out weekend predicts of R.I.P.D, Turbo, Red and GU2... How much did you predict for Conjuring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 About 34M, It's Q3 that could hurt the most as if players have underpredicted both Red and Conjouring they could end up with a strong score depsite being completely wrong both times. And then of course there is the issue of others being better at this and getting everything right to start with which is irritating too.
