Its a capital J and a capital B. Obviously his initials.

This question #8 shows me why I sometimes really suck with missing the obvious. The question mentions locations so my brain starts thinking of great scenes in different parts of the world.

davidh777

Right with you, bro. I don't know what I'm thinking on some of my answers.

I think the only Sheep game I've ever won was over at "the other forum." I wish I could look back and see how the hell I did it

davidh777

Those games tended to be shorter and the questions more random, so maybe that was a factor.

I think I get caught in the trap sometimes of going with my first instinct rather than what I think most others would choose.

Soon I'm going to be busy for the rest of the day so a couple comments on upcoming questions:

#9. Scoring this could be tricky too (damn those reverses). Does "go up against" mean the organization had to be Bond's opponent? Or can it be interpreted more loosely as just any organization Bond encountered? And how specific do answers need to be? You could list the police/intelligence agency/military of nearly any country Bond visited and argue it was a correct answer. And as an example, will an answer like "russian spies" be considered specific enough to be correct when the more correct answer should be "KGB"? [BTW, my own answer shouldn't be an issue ... I gave the specific name of an organization who tried to kill Bond in at least one movie]

#10. Does anyone remember the earlier Bond game? They had a sheep question just like this "name a Bond villain" that didn't exclude for Blofield. And the results were a landslide. And ... it wasn't a landslide in Blofield's favor! Easiest answer of the game for me. You sheep better not blow it for me!

BTW, this week I happen to be lecturing to college students (in an intro biology class) about the different types of bonds. I gave a little matching quiz where you had to pick the correct bond: a) ionic bond, b) covalent bond, c) hydrogen bond, d) James Bond. And yes ... for some of the questions, you needed to pick "James Bond" for the answer

davidh777

Sometimes I do that, and sometimes I overthink it. Neither ends up working.

I didn't think about #9 that much, and I don't remember the previous game, though I'm sure I at least read through it at some point. I kinda think I didn't play, but I could be wrong.

Nerd win!

TheAllPurposeNothing

Shoot. Just realized that I stupidly combined the names of two Bond villains in my answer. Hopefully Abob used only the last name for my answer. LOL

I'm not challenging the dog. I'm challenging Lazenby as "JB"

Sample questions (actual ones from the quiz):

Q: Name the force that attracts water molecules to each which causes surface tension (explaining why it hurts when you do a belly flop into a pool).

A:

Q: Name the force that stands in the way of SPECTRE and their quest for world domination.

A:

And yes ... there's usually a student who gets the JB answer wrong!

Decker

We kind of got sidetracked with the challenges and stuff, but we need to circle back to this. wishbone : JB? Matt Helm? ¿Que?
Please elaborate on this answer.

tommyp007

Almost 10 pages....and we've only done 8 questions.

I read the question as James Bond-type, like Our Man Flint, not alternate "J.B." whatever. Had I read the question correctly I still wouldn't have got it right.

Count Dooku

Just for the record, this was my answer to the iconic moment question.

TheAllPurposeNothing

Pretty sure I put down Ernst Stavros Goldfinger. LOL

brainee

Looking at the standings ... I'd be fine with the sheepmaster cutting TheAllPurposeNothing a break and matching him with those who answered Goldfinger

davidh777

His first name was part of the joke.



I had Goldfinger as my answer then changed it. I didn't realize at the time that the best strategy would be to say Goldfinger for everything.

mwbmis

That was the other moment I went back and forth with. It appears neither of my two answers were particularly sheepy.
