Answers to #1

"Has everyone made up their mind?" asked Wind as the last player placed her answer into the urn. Let's see the result. Did you answer honestly, or did you lie trying to end in the minority? And if you did... has it worked?
After a quick tally, the results were as follows:

Girl (5) - Siniri, loser, Regan, Rachel, Pink
Boy (9) - John, amarise, Ammer, May, Urthdigger, Katherine, StuMan, pipsqueek, Dyl
No answer (1) - Twiz

"It seems that the vast majority of you thinks they're boys. I can see that there will be some problems during bathroom breaks. Everyone who answered "boy" will lose a life. Now let's move on to today's question."

Question #2

This time the players were all prepared, and when Wind called out pipsqueek's name she quickly stepped on the stage. Wind handed her the microphone.

"What's the difference between a duck?" pipsqueek asked. Everyone else stared.

"It doesn't work this way," Wind explained, wondering if pip too had finally lost it. "You've got to ask a question to which there are only two possible answers."

"There are only two possible answers!" pipsqueek insisted. "1) Huh? and 2) anything else."

Since pipsqueek didn't seem to want to change her question, Wind shrugged and got the microphone back.

"The second question is... er... What's the difference between a duck?" she repeated. "The answer can be Huh or anything else. Please send me your answer by tomorrow, 7pm GMT. Good luck!"

Whooops! Sorry for forgetting, Wind. D: I guess most WW games have spoiled me, what with their later ending times and all. :(

Answers to #2

"What's the difference between a duck?" asked Wind by way of a greeting to the assembled players. "I hope this question didn't keep you awake at night. Now let's see your answers..."

Huh? (9) - Siniri, Twiz, loser, John, amarise, Urthdigger, StuMan, Regan, Rachel
Anything else (5) - Ammer, May, Katherine, pipsqueek, Dyl
No answer (1) - Pink

"Looks like pip's question had the vast majority of you confused. By the way, pipsqueek exact answer was "Octopus" and Dyl's answer was "<3 pip". Is this a love confession? Are you trying to turn my mind-screwing little game into a sappy soap opera?" asked Wind, pointing an accusing finger towards the would-be couple. "Maybe pip should clear her gender issues first. But let's move on."

Question #3

The players shuffled their feet nervously. Some of them had just one life left now. Wind extracted another piece of paper from the urn. "Siniri, it's your turn to ask a question," called Wind.
As Siniri stepped on the stage, Wind crumpled the piece of paper in her fist and threw it to Siniri by way of a greeting. "No ducks, remember."

"Which animal is white on black, penguin or panda?" Siniri asked.

"You stole this one from me" Wind complained. "It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as ducks aren't involved. So the next question is the age-old interrogative. Penguins or pandas? Please send me your answer by tomorrow, 7pm GMT. Good luck!"

Hey, I didn't steal it; I gave you full credit!

I thought there'd be more trying to psych other people out on-thread. So here's something to ponder. I learned in biochemistry that a polar bear's fur is technically not white. It's colorless, and only seems white because of the way it refracts light. If you shone the light properly, it would actually be rainbow-colored. So what does this have to do with the price of tea in China? Or pandas or penguins? You decide. Just choose the opposite answer from me, please.

If we all answered the same thing, do we all lose a life?
