The PacificBoard

All right, let's get this show on the road.

1) Name one of the first 8 numbers used in the Fibonacci sequence.

21 - 1 - Singleton!
WubWub

1 - 3
Chi
Qazzian
Farquharland

3 - 4
The Cosmic Mainframe
what do you want it to be
Rose
Bill and Ted's Bogus Answers

8 - 4
MetroPoz
Ender
Sitethief of Vylixan
Rossiyaana

5 - 4
Glealian
Pergalicious Mister Five
Kathol
L0NG80W3

2 - 5
Silk spider
Champion Allen
Max Barry
looneylew
Nublark

13 - SHEEP - 8
Norwany
Sama
Bobogoobo
saxasm
Bobki
DCI Wesley
CookiEvee
Primeval Revenant

WRONG:

7 - 16 (not in the sequence)
Tiberius

!beat @Marina - 16 (not a number)
Conflux

Is anyone confused by the format yet? As Cooki pointed out, there are multiple ways to interpret this question. That is intentional. Some people start the Fibonacci sequence at 0, but it's commonly given without the zero. The first eight entries in the sequence after this are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21. The one is in there twice, so had anyone entered 34 I'd have been willing to count it, but this turned out to not be an issue. Tiberius added wrong, I guess, and Conflux is off to a miserable start- which is a portent of the rest of the game for our digital overlord. 13 was unlucky for anyone who picked it, while WubWub decided to play blackjack and won big.

WubWub shouldn't feel too secure in that lead with the huge number of people still very close to it. While Think Same can produce huge leads, Think Different tends to not go that way. All right, aside from the 12 people with 4 points each, let's tackle these names. "what do you want it to be" - I want it to be a recognizable name, please. "Bill and Ted's Bogus Answers" - kudos, I actually think this is funny. "Pergalicious Mister Five" - recognizable and thematic, good work. Ditto L0NG80W3. I don't know who "Silk spider" is. "Champion Allen" - don't get ahead of yourself, you still haven't won any of these outright. Primeval Revenant's name was so long I had to cut it down to fit in the frame. Welcome to the several new players I recognize here! Next time: Our first use of the special answers.

Welcome to Think Different Numbers Edition! This will be five concurrent games, all of which are played with one set of answers. They will be:

1. Lowest scoring player
2. Lowest scoring team (total of players' scores)
3. Lowest score within each team (i.e. how you would do if your score was only compared to those of your team)
4. Least SHEEPy player (we'll get to that later, but it means lowest number of SHEEP answers)
5. Least SHEEPy team (total SHEEP answers)

So, how does one play Think Different? At the bottom of this post will be a link to a Google form, which you will fill out according to an hono(u)r system. The goal is to answer correctly, but to give the answer that the least number of other players give. You will receive a number of points equal to the number of people who answered the same as you for each question- provided the answer is correct. The most popular answer is called the SHEEP. Now, suppose you give an incorrect answer. You then receive points equivalent to double the number of people who answered the SHEEP. So, let's say six people are asked to name something that normally lives in the ocean. Three people say "Shark"; that is the SHEEP answer and they receive 3 points each. One person each respond with "kelp" and "squid" and receive one point each. One person responds with "Werewolf" and receives 6 points for giving a wrong answer. Each question works the same way.

In lieu of teams this time, I'm giving everyone two special features that they have the option to use, or not use, at their discretion. Each option can be used only once and if you use either more than once, I will count all of them as wrong. These options are SHEEP and DROP. SHEEP will give you as many points as whatever the SHEEP answer for that question was, but not be counted as part of the total players who got the SHEEP. In short, this is only a good idea if you really think you're going to be wrong. DROP will give you zero points.

Do not look up answers or coordinate your answers with others. Think Different is intended to be harder than Think Same, and in this case Google will not usually help you anyway.

The honor pledge: By playing Think Different, you agree to not disclose your answers to any player save the organizer (Marinas Island) between the posting of this form and the closing of responses. You agree to bring any issues to the attention of the organizer as soon as you find them and not to challenge the outcome if you do not do so. You agree to only submit one set of answers, even if you are drunk. If you wish to dispute the ruling of an answer as correct/incorrect, you agree to bring it up with the organizer via forum PM, NS telegram, or Discord DM. If you want clarification on any question or to modify an existing answer, you agree to bring it to the attention of the organizer via forum PM, NS telegram, or Discord DM.

The game will begin in 7 days. The game can be found here:
