It's simple, 10 people (PM me) compete against each other to find out who the "CB Mastermind" is. Only if you think you can win, ask to be entered. As CB is a community, I think that if you will cheat and use Google, you should not even consider taking part. 10 people who ask to be in will answer/ask questions. Only those 10 people can reply to this thread. It will go in rotational order (first to relpy-to-last to reply), so make sure to keep checking when your turn is up. (MOD's, if this starts to cause trouble, feel free to close it).

Good luck

-Paul

In so far:
Paul M. is baaack
incoherent
Raccoons>you
Red_Rum
disco infiltrator
insomniac
melonisyummy
frankie

this sounds complicated and annoying... but good luck to those that enter...

If you're looking for a prize:

Being able to gloat!

Yeah but it'll be hard to know if they cheated or something. It'll be pointless!

urhm i'll do it... but why dont we just eliminate the last to reply with a correct answer, and allow th3e use of search engines?

that makes it more realitic

wait so who's asking the questions? Paul?

im in.

No, fear not, the contestants themselves are asking the questions, after answering the question of the contestant above who has just answered a question. If he/she does not know the answer, simply say "pass". If CB is such a community, then we can trust people not cheat, can't we? If not, then throwing the word "community" around is just stupidity.


OR

James' way seems alright, we could use that.

i wanna be in!

Moving quite slowly, so I'll join.

i'll join.

Explain to me what's going on, and maybe I'll be in.

i have no idea what you are saying but I'M IN!! :D

ok. basically what is going to happen (im not entirely sure if this is what paul intended, but i didnt understand that, so im taking over) is this:

someone will ask a question. general knowledge, fairly hard. ten contestants, the last one to post with the right answer, or anyone who gets it wrong is out. eventually there will be a winner

o k a ... y . . .

i get it. and something about he trusts us not to use search engines? or something..

COME ON WE NEED MORE PEOPLE! lol

mm, ill do it!

ill do it too.

Oooh I get it. I want in! I will own.

yay only 2 more people needed!

wait so someone asks us a question and we have to use common knowldge to reply to it as quick as we can?

did i sum that up right?

james, that doesnt really make sense. we can copy someone elses answer...

maybe everytime we are the first to answer a question correctly...we get a point. the person with the least amount of points in X amount of time is elimated.

wait so the first person asks a question to the second poster, then the second poster answers the question and then asks an entirely different question to the third poster?

how can it be fair if the constestants are not asked the same question?

correct me if my interpretation is wrong because racoons > you interpretation did not factor the "rotational order" in his explanation...

where is paul murphy?

...are there going to be questions about sex

It is not complicated.

The order in the first reply is the order that the people will be asked questions. You answer the question that the person before you asked, then, right or wrong, you ask the next question to the person who is next in rotational order.

Yes, you got it right, how is that complicated. And if everybody got the same question, if one person knows the answer, everybody knows the answer. The way it is explained is logical, fair and trustworthy.

I'm in. Beware, I know all.

yeah. ok.

someone start, and i'll pick it up as we go along

Uhh..wait. If we ask a question in here, then people will see others' answers and can answer correctly even if they don't know it. How is that going to work?

well, we're doing it differently again now.

*shrugs*

OK so, Paul needs to ask the first question, according to him.

and we need to form the rotating order thing.

hang on:

Paul M. is baaack
incoherent
Raccoons>you
Red_Rum
disco infiltrator
insomniac
melonisyummy
frankie
xcaitlinx
funbobby

ok... so paul starts, i guess

To incoherent

What is the capital of Ukraine?

i'm kind of confused. so only spencer can answer this question?

then you ask down the list of people?

do we pm you the answer?

no. incoherent answers.

then, he asks a question to the next person on the list, if he gets it right. if not, he's out, and the question moves to the next person, in this case, me

oh...paul, i think i know the answer. we learned this last year.

kiev?

james:
what does TE stand for in football?

Ill give it a try.

tight end?

guessing now

tight end?

not that i know. i've now sat through 3 entire football seasons plus one playoff game and don't have any idea either, though

i think it is a position

or possibly i am thinking of rugby

*sigh*

this is getting confusing...

paul, we need to set up some rules, but james, that was right.

so now james asks the next person? which is me right?

oh, right, sorry

= )

who wrote the book 'lord of the flies'?

I know! I know!

*grumbles*

oh we're reading that in english

William Golding.

edit// oh my question huh..

Sammi:

Who won the SuperBowl in 1990?

I remember this cause that's the year I was born!

Michelle: What did Einstein consider his biggest fluke?

this will be fun. and yay, im on the listttt

what do you mean by that? his biggest fluke? you mean..like...a scientific discovery that was pure luck?

i think she means fluke as in mistake.

unless i'm wrong or thats what you were trying to say.
