Well I hope that this new game works out well.

HOW TO PLAY

Each round will consist of five questions, the game will last four rounds.
There will be at the very minimum 4 possible answers for each question.
PM your answers to me.
I will consider answers sent within 23 hours of me posting each round as being valid. I need the last hour to mark the results, tally up scores and to post results of each round.

SCORING.
If you are the only one to pick an answer you score 10 points, if you select the same answer as someone else you score 5 points.

One member also picked 'Stimpy' as an answer. My son told me that Stimpy was a cat not a mouse. I looked up at this site http://www.tvtome.com/RenandStimpyShow/index.html and it seems my son is correct.

Question 4 - Plague of Egypt
Some sites called Plague 3 by different names (vermin, gnats, lice) but as only one person picked Plague 3 it makes no difference to this game.

Worth 10 points
Vermin, hailstorm, death of the firstborn

Darkness (3), Nile to blood (2), Frogs (2), Locusts (2), Boils (2)

That was good fun, thanks Kuu. Looks like I was lucky enough to choose 3 of the least picked answers. It was interesting to see what everyone went for, especially as we have to choose the answers we submit with tactics in mind.

That's what makes this game such a great idea. Excellent!!
