Common Answer Contest -- RESULTS
What is a common answer contest? For those who have never participated in one of these, the idea is to answer each question with the answer that you feel will be the most common answer given. If your answer is the most common you will score 1 for that question. If your answer is the second most common answer submitted, you will score 2, and so on. Your scores for each question are then multiplied together to determine your final score.
Of course this being a poker forum... all the questions will have to do with poker (and such).

Thank-you all for participating... I'll post a second contest sometime around the middle of September.
One funny thing though:
Okay who picked 4%?
Seems the third worst starting hand was the tough one, what did some of you guys pick?
were there only 16 responses?
Yes... only 16... these thing take a while to catch on.
Even more surprising.... 2 people couldn't come up with a poker movie?!?!
Now I know how All_Aces felt when he placed so well in the WSOP event. I can hold my head high, it was a very tough field of competitors and I beat the best of the best! I am so proud of myself at this moment, I might need to take some vacation time to let it all sink in.
Thanks again, it was a great contest!
Sure, the WSOP finish was cool and all, but how do you think I felt when I saw this:
And if I may pour some lemon juice into your wounds, Sloth and I are technically not moderators. :cool:

Somebody thinks you are...from the Contact/Links page:
"If your concern involves forum activity or member issue, please contact our moderator: ScottyZ"
This strategy was chosen so that people with concerns involving forum activity or issues with members end up getting confused, throw their hands in the air saying "There is no $(@(&%* moderator here called ScottyZ!!!", go eat a special brownie, chill out a little, eat several more brownies, chill out a lot more than they were already chilled, due to the stupor they have now achieved say to themselves "Hey, maybe that puck-ass Member X isn't so bad after all", and, best of all, forget about sending me a PM to complain about that punk-ass Member X.
It was the best way we could think of to reduce the administrative PM load.
