baumer Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) By the end of the game, which of these films, % wise, will finish closest to the total? Wolverine: 145 mill Conjuring: 125 mill The Heat: 155 mill Pac Rim: 103 mill Grown Ups 2: 135 mill Despicable Me 2: 345 mill So for example, if GU2 finishes with 128 mill, then it would have finished within 94.8% of that number. Call the correct film, to be the closest to the total % wise, get 10,000 Call the incorrect film, and you lose 5000 Abstain, 2000 points; If you abstain, you do not qualify for the bonus Bonus: What will those films finish with by the end of the game? If you call it within 5%, you get a bonus of 5000. If you miss the total by more than 7.5%, you lose 5000. You can go for as many as you want, however, if you go for all 6, YOU MUST GET ALL SIX CORRECT. If you do not, you will lose 10,000 on top of whatever it is you lose by being off on the other films. Get all right, and you get a bonus of 10,000, which could make this SOTM question worth 50,000 to you. Due Monday Aug 5th at 9pm Game time. Good luck...any questions let me know.

chasmmi Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) You can go for as many as you want, however, if you go for all 6, YOU MUST GET ALL SIX CORRECT. If you do not, you will lose 10,000 on top of whatever it is you lose by being off on the other films. But there is no bonus for getting all six correct so the sensible thing is to attempt 5 max? At least offer us an extra 5k for getting all 6 and risking all those points Edited August 1, 2013 by chasmmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 So, in theory, you could miss the first part of the question, lose 5000, but you still get positive points by getting 2/2, 3/3, etc correct for part 2.... amirite? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
