Challenge 5: MEdian

{ROUND 05 TEAM CHALLENGE}


MEdian


You know who is quite the unsung hero of Mish Mash game mods? This person runs all sorts of games all the time and is always so happy and joyful about doing so. And we thought it was high time that we properly honoured this delightful user. So thank you Tatsuya Kaname for letting us borrow one of your many many amazing Mish Mash games. We like this one a lot, and more people should too. It was also probably a game show, but who cares, let's just affection up Tatsuya instead!


RulesThe goal of this game is to answer a series of numerical questions, attempting to get as close to the median answer to each question as possible. The closer you are to the median, the more points you get!

This game will be played as individuals, with
no discussion allowed among any players. Outside sources are not allowed.
After everyone has answered each question, everyone will be sorted from smallest to largest answer. As there are 36 participants, 2 players will answer closest to the median - those two will earn 1800 points. Then going in opposite directions, 1 player at a time, point values decrease by 100, with the highest and lowest answer only earning 100 points. If 2 players give the same answer at any point, the payout will be equal to an average of the payouts for the positions they occupy.

There will be 2 rounds of 4 questions each. In the second round, points are doubled.

All answers in this game must be an integral number, meaning that
no decimal values/fractions are allowed.


At the end of the challenge, all members of a team will have their scores averaged together. The team with the highest average score wins the challenge and is safe from elimination.


Round One:


{01}
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

{02}
How many people will you kiss in your lifetime?

{03}
How many times have you personally been rickrolled?

{04}
How many people on Earth do you believe are truly happy?

You have

To be fair, I didn't know they didn't sell Tootsie Pops outside of America, either.

Are you counting the ads in the episodes, or just the running time?

I deserve bonus points because my Tootsie pop answer was derived from the scientific method! You plebs should have made more accurate guesses. :(

3 is the correct answer but it never would have been the median

For the purposes of simplicity, the scores this round will be presented from 100 to 1,800 as in the previous round, but the totals for the round will be doubled at the end. Let's see who's taking the victory.

{05}
How many bugs have you killed in your life?

Image
Image

{06}
How many movies have been released since 2000?
(no outside sources allowed - give your best guess)


For the record, about 600 movies are released a year, so the real answer is around 11,000!

Image
Image

{07}
How many days will Clash of the Mash 2018 last in total?

Well it's already lasted 37...

Image
Image

{08}
How many more years from now until our world becomes uninhabitable?

Image
Image



What are the final individual scores?

Image
Image



From the looks of that leaderboard, it's pretty clear....
Fire & Brimstone
takes the win, and are safe from elimination.
