I thought I'd give this another go but I thought I'd change the catagories a little I'm announcing the Ultimate Nerd Showdown competition! How it works is, I will accept the first 8 people who ask to sign up. Each week, a set of questions will go out, 14 questions total, from the following categories: 2 Wrestling 2 Literature 2 Video Games 2 Sports 2 Cartoons 2 Movies 2 History 2 bob's Choice (Random, any and all subjects) Each round, the person with the lowest number of correct answers will be eliminated. In the event of a tie, additional questions will be asked to determine who goes. With any luk we won't need 6 again. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) One person goes each round and get a nice parting gift. The only rule is no google/wikipedia/YouTube etc to find answers, no CHEATING! Each round the questions will get tougher. We're doing this on the honor system. Can anyone dethrone Shovelman's title of King Nerd? SIGN UP NOW!!!!

Eh... why not? I'll play. Prepare for another 6 rounds of tie-breaking questions if anyone else performs as poorly in the first round as I'm sure to do, though. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
