Best 1-point Answers of the New Decade

bird: feeder (1)

bird: an infinitude of 0 point answers! Looks like RoRoRo's reminder completely failed to achieve its intended purpose.

bird: claw (1)

Why? T_T

bird: early (1)

bird: twitter (1)

Poker: I hardly knew her (1)

saimon, I'm surpised anyone gave any "birds" answer other than the name of a bird! But that's why I finished poorly. :)

body fluids:

phlegm (1)

I thought I had learned something while browsing dictionaries, but did not follow Thierry's rule # 8 (If you feel it might be wrong, it is)

Commodore 64: brown (1)

Chuckeled @ Foul Ole Ron's brown - I don't even know why. But this is so far best 1-pointer of the decade!

Have you seen one (Commodore 64)? Can you remember the colour of the keyboard/mainboard/computer?

I do indeed, still.. :-)

Glass: empty

Glass: full

glass: wine(13)

I know it's not an 1-point but it counts as one :)

@yper:

Well, if you played this "glass" round without spying Past Games, Congratulations, just 3 below max !!!

(But I guess you found 'glass' in the 'wine' round and replaced 'cup' to be super smart ;)

No, I looked at the Past games, I just took a bet that a glass of wine would be better than a cup (related to glass).

8 people played "cup" (besides the 8 PastGamers who won the round) while 12 played "wine" from a total of 30 (NonPastGamers). I needed 4 more "winers" to become a winner and not a whiner :)

So is that how 8 people tied for a perfect score this game... by looking at a past Empathy game?

Yep, at least 9 people looked at previously played games and 8 decided to follow the exact 10 words that won iin th eprevious round of "glass".

It doesn't always work but most of the times when a topic is repeated, replaying winning words will get you to a - crowded - first place.

Hey, I didn't know it was played before :/

... more than 2 years ago!

and besides the really questionable choice "cup" ( I had similar thoughts like yper, just eventually favoring "crystal" ),

the hardest part of that round was skipping glasse, who won so many of those past games!

palindromes: detartrated

LOL! I love that one! (detartrated)

hello to the othe player who played ABBA :)

Australia: Syndey ( a 2 pointer even = bad luck for both of us )

Now we know why Sydney got 29 while kangaroo 31.

My contribution to Australia: shark (2)

I was really disappointed to get only 1 point on emu.

atom:

Democritus (1)

atom:

clock (1)

atom:

smasher (1) ... it was the first answer I thought of!

atom: I had to fill in this one quickly. But still, I think these deserved more:

quantum mechanics (1)

chemics (1),

Einstein (1),

Mass (1)

Body fluids: perspiration (1)

big european companies: Elf (1)

Commodore 64: microcomputer (1), color (1)

Australia: crocodile (1)

@ypercube: I thought of Democritus (and "uncuttable"), so I was with you in spirit.

World's best cuisines: food (1)

estonia, canada, belgium: Land (1)

I got only 1 point for Madagascar. I also misspelt Libya (did Libia)...

things you find in the ocean: trash. 1 point!???

Guys, wake up!

aganju, i was only more specific: plastic (1). And: Watr. Damn!

I got 1*37 and 9*1 in things found in the ocean game :(

somar96, please tell us these 9 things :)

well, I had imagined it's like something you can get when you go fishing, e.g. shoes, rubbish and such types of things :)

Opposite of safe: sorry

[I really planned to change this, but didn't get around to it]

Opposites of: ..., green : yellow (1)

4 ole: nice one anyway!

I got 2 for opposite of green: blue

while you lose on time in all of your games... nice behaviour...

I couldn't help it. I started 1100 games at once...

I'm not timing out anymore though

1100 games, on first thought, wow!

On second thought, not so wow. Can you start 1100000 games?

no you can't. because games will start ending. but 3000 is possible I say.

the question should be how many can you start and seriously play (without timing any out)

I know you can do 500. Did so for a while. 1000 is a real stretch, but if you play full time (like 14 h a day, 7 days a week) it should work. That would be about the limit though, or you would go crazy.

@somar96: No, we don't want you to try it.

should have known that only Floridians would write 'Gator' (1 point). And it does taste like chicken.

tastes like chicken: flavor (1)

I wrote "everything" and I got full 5 points!
