if i thought about it this way, the atlantic ocean is 8.64 kilometres tall at it's deepest point and the 15,000 kilometres between the arctic circle and the antarctic circle becomes it's widest point, which would have led me to guessing 100 on the scale which is closer to the intended target but wrong on the left/right aspect. if converted to a pancake it would be thin enough to see through.

i have now watched the first eight episodes of brooklyn nine-nine in an attempt to be useful here. it is one of those shows that defines its characters very narrowly and much of the humor comes from the slight differences in its repetitions. kinda like a time loop in which time continues to pass. charles boyle himself seems to be serious about sixty percent of the time. however, one of the jokes for his character is that things he is saying seriously are whimsical to us the audience or to the other characters. i would approximate that about ninety percent of his time on screen is whimsical in some way. so if we balance the characters intentions with our perception of the character it'd put as at 35 or so. i think i'd knock another five off of that because at one point charles boyle describes the new captain as too serious. so 30 would be my best guess.

I’m also thinking about changing the 10 pt threshold to “game ends once everyone has been a Psychic and both teams had an equal number of guessing rounds.” Open to any feedback/suggestions for how to make this better for yall!

I would like it if we did multiple teams? We have 13 players right now, we could do 3 teams of 3 and 1 team of 4? Then do a league type of thing.

2 teams play each other at the same time(so just like how we were playing right now), each team plays the other 3 teams twice. At the end the two teams with the most points duke it out for the win(3 rounds, whoever gets maximum points)
