Some work filters (like mine) block any document sharing sites

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

The questions seem a bit on the easy side and could potentially end with multiple people at #1, which is the problem with just doing Sheep. You need a generic tie-break question to mix it up. Something like, What's your favorite show or Favorite Channel, favorite theme song or something. I guess what I'm getting at is a question that clearly doesn't have a single right answer like most of the ones above will have.

Then again, I usually finish in the bottom third so what do I know?

So with that, my answers are forthcoming and thanks for doing this.

It's not that everything is blocked via a work filter -- I can see other shared sheets, just not this one. I get a specific "access denied" message directly from Google.

But not to fear, I ran out last night and bought Office Pro 2007 and was able to run your alternate spreadsheet.

You'd think so, but looking at the answers so far, I don't think this is going to be a problem...

Well, I have asked twice if anyone knows how to share it, because I'm not sure what's wrong. All I see are options to invite specific people and no "share globally" option.

You can always save the spreadsheet as a copy and then edit it. That's what I had to do to use The Bus's Google spreadsheets.

Okay, I just changed the Google spreadsheet to "allow people to view without signing in". I hope that fixes it.

As an aside, I'm getting a lot of responses. Thanks guys! Keep them coming.

No way everyone is going to give the same SNL cast member. There are plenty of non-obvious questions. I doubt there will be a tie for #1.
