IWS #192: Food "Nots"

cuervo72 · 05-24-2012, 09:06 PM

Quick turnaround on this one as I'd like to keep momentum going. Apologies if this leads to a weak round of questions, but I think these will take a little thought without being too difficult. Just enough to hopefully be interesting.

***

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s widely revered and most truly beloved founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that word "product" here in the States means that they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. Just don't be an asshat, and this should end well.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Name the coolest integer EVAR" and you answer "2/3" along with 13 other equally misguided people, you each regrettably will be awarded 14 points... even though the correct answer is "72."

*******************************************************

Spoiler

*******************************************************

The questions (which really aren't posed in the form of questions...I guess these are more demands than anything else):

1. Name a vegetable that is not generally considered "green."

2. Name a prepared food which, while possibly containing ingredients that have been cooked, is generally not thought of as being cooked.

3. Name a type of "cake" which is not a cake in the traditional baking sense (egg/sugar/flour mixture cooked in an oven, etc.). This need not be edible.

4. Name a condiment that might not be found at a typical sports arena.

5. Name a food or drink that men, in general, do not consume.

6. Give the name of a food which contains each of the letters "n", "o", and "t". These letters may appear multiple times and may be in any order.

************************************

Please PM your answers to me with "IWS #192" in the title. The contest will run until noon on Wednesday, May 30th.

wade moore · 05-29-2012, 08:01 AM

I redacted Tyketime's post and CrimsonFox's reply that quoted it.

Be careful about giving away information guys, that defeats the purpose of this game.

Chief Rum · 05-29-2012, 10:48 AM

This was hard. But at least from the other comments, it seems I have company in that opinion.

EagleFan · 05-29-2012, 10:57 AM

Record low score for a winner on this one?

This is good. Now we can make sure their co-winning scores of "12" are expunged from the record.

No worries. No harm done.

stevew · 05-29-2012, 12:43 PM

Not interested in getting a 1

Also, the winning score would be 2, not 12, I believe.
