DEAD! Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Bidwell's bowtie was a striped white/red kind.....so, is that 1/2 a point if you guessed red or white? Wow. Good thing I don't make real bets like this... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I move that the scoring on the bowtie be a half point for red or white.What is the ruling on the final score? I picked the winner and a margin (I said 11, and it was 4). Is this one all-or-nothing, or can I get half of a point?Without the score, I have 7.5 points.

Final score. Steelers 28, Cardinals 24.0.6 points!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final score. Steelers 28, Cardinals 24.0.6 points!!That's stupid. The question asked what color the bowtie would be, so no one anticipated answering a striped pattern. No one had a chance to get it right, so they need something. As opposed to the score, where you had a chance to guess right, you aren't getting 0.6 points for getting it fractionally correct.

There are striped bowties in existance in this world, so it's only natural that it's an option of it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are striped bowties in existance in this world, so it's only natural that it's an option of it's own.What are you talking about? There is no correlation between this issue and overtimes, or this issue and who scored the touchdown. The TD questions, too, were pretty straightforward: you pick a player, and you are either right or wrong.The other one is a faulty question. Like, for instance, am I presently wearing boxers or briefs? And when you find out that I am wearing boxer-briefs, you can either a.) forget the question or b.) take a half credit. It doesn't matter one way or the other, because the final scores (if anyone else decides to post them) will be the same regardless, because everyone got half credit or everyone got it wrong.I was just making my point, but again, it's moot. Now tally up your scores and stop criticizing. There was no correct answer, then, because no one would predict that it would be red and white striped.

infrared41 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Partial credit is dumb....you either got it correct or you didn't. The only correct answer that can be accepted is "striped red/white" bowtie.The ruling on the tie is this. The only correct answer is striped red/white. Otherwise... This was all for fun gentlemen.
