Let me add that I picked Hayden and Aaron to win, but it does NOT mean I want them to win. Hayden is an embarrassment. I really would love to see Kris and Jon win it all!!!!

Great Game Wilson. Thank you for doing it and although I didn't win it was fun!
I hope you do it again for the next one because I will be right here playing.

Don't worry all...once we get the fulll cast list, I'll post the questions for the first ep....It'll be the same format as this one, with a few changes.

Full scores to come, but for the benefit of Maryk, I'll calculate mine in full here....

F/K 2 (pts assigned)x1 (for 1st)=2
H/A 3x4=12
A/R 1x3=3
K/J 5x2=10

Total 27

participation: -20

BQ's

1=missed
2=missed
3=missed
4=missed
5=correct ($200 on the nose) -15
6=correct -20
7=correct (everyone gets credit for this, since it ended in Chicago) -15
8=missed

BQ's and part total: -70

Leg total: 27 minus -70= -43

So I got -43 for this leg.

No problem Wislon--when work calls, there isn't much one can do. Thanks for running this game--it has been lots of fun!

Maryk did an awesome job in the last leg...she put all her points on F/K, and had them winning....and a couple of breaks here or there would have changed it (H/A left at 11:20 pm in the first leg, and they got exactly $200 for the last leg....if either one of those had changed, it would have tipped the scales to her...)

Good game all...look in the TAR7 folder soon for the next roud....

Wilson, congratulation on the win!! Very good score! Maryk--great job too--you gave Wilson a run for the money. You two have a pretty good separation from Karen who took 3rd--good job to you too Karen.

Thanks for the game Wilson--it was a lot of fun--I'll be playing for AR again, and for Survivor too. I don't expect to do too well--but it's a lot of fun playing!

I'm so proud of myself. I had more points than anyone.

Wilson, thanks for all the hard work you put into this game. I am just a little suspicious that the person in charge ended up with only 1 point. Good thing you didn't give yourself a zero.

Hi Wilson,

I just wanted to try to clarify some confusion I encountered with the last leg of the TAR6 game here. I understand the part with the bullseyes -- the person with the most bullseyes had to split that many points, and the rest of us with less had to split X number of points, plus the difference between our bullseyes and the leaders. So far so good? So, please bear with me as I try to explain my confusion:

The part I got stuck was with deciding how to split the points, and why. You said we wanted to get the MOST points total for this last leg? Is that correct? And then, the points we placed on each team would be multiplied by the place that they came in. (eg, if I put 3 pts. on Freddy/Kendra, and 10 pts. on Kris/Jon, then one pt. each on H/A and A/R... I'd end up with 3pts for Freddy/Kendra, 20 pts for K/J, 3 for A/R and 4 for H/A? For a total of 30 points. I'm still on track?)

So here lies my confusion, I don't understand how that system is beneficial to the participants. First... you had said that if we had a hunch that someone was going to win, we could put all our bullseye points on that one team. BUT, if I put all 15 of my points on the *winning* team, I end up with 15 points. If I had put all my points on the team that would be kicked out first, I would have received 60 points? I was going for the MOST points here, right? So putting all my points on the team I thought would do the WORST would make more sense than putting them all on the team I think is going to WIN, wouldn't it?

Secondly, why did the person who had the MOST bullseyes get the least amount of points to split, if we're going for MOST POINTS TOTAL? It seems you're punishing the person who did the best by giving the people who are behind more points to use to catch up with?

THIRD, why were we playing for MOST POINTS in this last leg, when the whole way through the race, we were going for LEAST points? Unless the points we got in the last leg were negative values, and therefore, putting my 15 bullseyes on the winning team would have resulted in -15 points from my overall score -- which would be good, right? But then again, having put them all on the last-place team would have netted me -60 points.

It just seems to me that we should have been going for LEAST POINTS -- all 15points x1st place = 15pts, whereas had I split them as I exampled earlier, I'd have had 30. Does that make sense? Please excuse my confusion, but this has been kinda picking at me for a while. I've always been good at math, and there was just something about this setup that didn't sit quite right with me. Here's hoping you can clarify for me a bit...

Thanks! Karen.
