Ask one question on any subject. Whoever gets it right asks the next question.

I think this thread has a lot of potential for interestand fun.

What I like so far is how, in our hands, a simple fool-proof rule immediately turns into chaos and confusion, with questions unasked or asked out of turn.

wtf are conkers?

Also known as horse chestnuts. You drill a hole in them, put string through and hit them off each other. Mates battled each other; whosever conker broke the other won. Ah, simple times!


(Also, as you probably guessed, I was making a word play on William the Conqueror).

[Trollheart]

He conquered a lot.
And he was named William.

[Janszoon]

He conquered a lot.
And he was named William.

Oh, you mean William the Conkers.

[Trollheart]

i propose a rule that if the person that supposed ask the next question fails to within 24 hours i get to ask the next question

[Trollheart]

I think, with a slight amendment, that is acceptable, but the rule can be if the person who either got the question right, or the person who originally set the question, if nobody gets it right, doesn't set a new one, then anyone can. Let's set a 24-hour limit. So...

Question setter: if the question you set is not answered within 24 hours, please give the answer. You may then choose either to set another question or let someone else do so.

Question answerer: if you got the question right, and it's confirmed to be right, please set your question within 24 hours of getting it right, otherwise anyone else can take the shot.

Clear enough?

[Toy Revolver]

then anyone can

but that allows others who arent me to do it

let's try to be fair about this
