Bet you're glad you didn't wait up for THoD to turn up :lol:

Wish I had gone to fucking sleep.

I started going through the answers this morning and I just thought he must have missed me out. It wasn't until I got to Hooray's message to THOD that I realised i'd been waiting 3 days for answers that hadn't even been submitted!

Slipped up on the last question too! Was up to do really well in my second ever round. Gutted isn't the word.

Screw you Microsoft :sna:

A confectionery item sold in the 90s that no longer exists

So basically, we give two sets of answers. One set we have to try and do well on (heaven) and the other we have to try and do shit on (hell)? Are we allowed wrong answers because I may answer 'Pizza' for the Oscar winning film of the 90s?

Eh? I read it as we have to submit one set of answers but try to a) get the heaven answers as you will get 10 more points and b) avoid the hell answers.

But for the set we have to do shit on, if we get the match we get zero points. I still don't get this at all.

Sort this out Dom!

Nope, you send in one set of answers and you have to try and match with the heaven ones for each answer, if you accidentally get a hellish one you're penalised.

What determines the heavenly and hellish sheep answers then? Pure luck?

Ahhhh yes, that would make more sense.

Mike has it.

I have spoken to two people (completely random who haven't played this season) to send me a list in each. One list will be the heaven, one will be the hell.

If your answers match theirs, then you get either the zero or the +10 (depending which list you matched with).

Sorry for any confusion.

What happens when the two lists give the same answers? Presumably quite common?

What happens if the heaven and hell answers are the same?

Can I also say that I'm a big fan of those questions - the 90s were great.

I was sure I put you in it. Apologies. You're in Group E/

That won't be an issue. The two lists will be different, that's already sorted.

Glad you like the Qs, Veggie.

I'm still not sure I fully understand the best way to approach this round to get the most out of it, so I'm just going to answer the questions like I normally do and try to pick what I think would be the most popular answer!

It sounds more like luck to me. Who's to say the Heaven answers are 'better' answers than the Hell ones?

The extinct confectionery item is a complete bastard of a question. Thought of few items from that era, searched them and it turns out they still exist!

I don't really like the rounds where luck plays its part. Kind of defeats the object of the game as even if you get 10 top answers, you may not win the round.
