I usually go for broke on the sweeps. You risk a big hit if you guess wrong, but I didn't feel that confident about any of my sheep answers this game.

Meh. Friday really started it all.....going back to radio.

Never cared for Columbo.

Hedging is for wimps.

I didn't use any sweeps, not sure why...but what's done is done.

I think I used most of my sweeps on Reverse Sheep questions. That's... probably not a good thing.

I never did that. Mainly because I never understood how it worked that way.

Looking at it now, it looks like it can only hurt me. Best case scenario, it would have no effect.

Somebody check Betty's pulse.

I was calculating the multiplier incorrectly. Here are the correct scores after Question 1:

FatTony -30
Kal Varnsen -30
Rockmjd23 -22
bootsy -20
Deftones -20
JasonF -11
orangecrush -11
Groucho -11
BadlyDrawnBoy -11
gmanca -11
Pharoh -11
the big train -11
MrX -11
feenst -11
Red Dog -11
Jboone -10
WallyOPD -10
Damfino -10
alk3hol -10
Count Dooku -10
Palaver -10
Fist of Doom -2
Jimmy James -2
wishbone 0
Tracer Bullet 0
NORML54601 0
lysander 0
wendersfan 0
achau9598 6
macnorton 8

I think I did the same thing..

I never use the {sw} (or the equivalent multipliers) correctly.

There were so many variations of sheep going on for a while, I would get confused. I remember one game where the multipliers on reverse sheep yielded huge results, so I got it in my head to try to always use them for reverse.

I loaded up my sweeps on question #4, and for once I think I used them wisely.

I think sweeps/slam dunks on Reverse worked best with unique answers but they don't yield the totals that a big Sheep question does. Tracer is also running this game with a Reverse unique answer bonus too.

It's been a while. My brain forgot how to calculate the multipliers. It's all better now.

You might be correct.

Question 3: R: Name a cop show produced primarily for US television that was not set in New York City, Baltimore or California.

All answers are correct, I believe. That means no one gets a Wrong Answer Penalty.

I'm kinda nervous on this one. I may have gone a little too obvious.

I'll invoke the spirit of Elvis on this one...
