I just want everybody to understand. You can't win it if you're not sure of the rules. I just want to make sure I've explained them well enough.

I hope you guys are finding this variation an enjoyable added level of thinking.

PGK... I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong, if your answers are right.

Let's analyze this answer. You know you can rule out the 6, because of the 0/0. You know BOB is not the powerball, or you would have at least scored a 1/1, but BOB *could* possibly still exist in the answer, because BOB only gets compared to the powerball, not the rest of the list.


Not if it's been eliminated by a prior guess.

Let's say we have:

JACK JILL JANE BOB LOU SUE and SCOOBYDUE

and our host scores this a 4/1.

I know SCOOBYDUE is out, because he was bad earlier and was eliminated in a 0/0 guess like this:

SCOOBYDUE JACK SUE JILL JANE LOU BOB

Same with poor JACK, SUE, JILL and BOB.

So I have LOU and JANE and I'm trying to figure out which of those 2 = the 4 correct <-- hey got to use the new guy!

Of course if it's already been eliminated, you would already know that. But, for the sake of that one single answer, I was just trying to point out that the powerball guess *could* exist in the answer and not show up in the clue.

I didn't realize we had a new guy!

and just to be sure, Scooby - you didn't respond to xshift last set because it had a typo that didn't get discovered or corrected until after the bottom of the hour - right?

Correct - hence, the loud, obnoxious buzzer.
