Ok, I've posted the questions in the OP, You have till Friday 12pm to send in your answers :love:

[Toy Soldier]

Wait. Are you supposed to guess what you think will be the most common answer, or are you supposed to pick an answer that you don't think many other people will pick? Or is that "pointless"? You have assumed a lot about people's understanding of this game :nono:.

Sorry :laugh:

You pick what you think is going to be the most popular answer. The more people who choose the same answer the higher the score you get for that answer

[Niamh.]

Just received my very first set of Answers, thank you TS :love:

[Niamh.]

Received my second set, keep them coming!

Just in case people don't realise, it's absolutely fine to google answers, the challenge isn't in your general knowledge but in figuring out which will be the most popular answer!

[Alf]

Couldn't we have had the year 1988 instead?

2021 is not my era.

Who in their right mind watches Squid Game?

Spiderman?

Pandemic?

[Alf]

I never even noticed a pandemic. I must have been out.

[Niamh.]

Probably not a good sign in a Top Answers game.

:laugh:

I can't stress enough that if people don't know an answer off the top of their heads GOOGLE!! It's not cheating to do this as the object of the game is simply deciding which answer (as there is always more than one) will be the most popular

[Mystic Mock]

Probably not a good sign in a Top Answers game.

Probably not.:laugh:

Annoying I changed from George to Charlotte and also changed from Hancock to Cummings because I thought that was the one which people got more worked up about

I like that there were only four possible answers to the golf one and yet 7 different names are there :skull:

More fun to watch care home residents try and aim their piss in the toiletTbf I did point out that everyone was free to Google the answers as there's always more than 1 "correct " answer and the object is simply to guess which you think will be the most popular choice
