Million Dollar Money Drop

[Monty]

Yes, here by semi-popular demand, it's the One Hundred ToO Money Drop!!!

The rules of the game are somewhat simple. The participant(s) (I haven't decided whether or not I want to allow teams) will start out with one hundred dollars. I will give them a multiple choice question. The person or team must bet all of their money on one or more of the answers. Money placed on incorrect answers will be lost forever. There will be five progressively harder questions after which the contestant will be allowed to keep what he/she has won.

The questions will be over a wide variety of topics, and if you pay attention, you will get clues as to what the questions will be over.

As in the show, the contestant(s) will get two categories to choose from. They will then get half an hour to decide what to do with their money. No research of any kind is allowed during the half-hour, including looking back in old threads.

If you have any questions or want to participate, post in this thread.

I'll play!

[bookworm]

I like that show, I'll play!
Will we be going one at a time?

[Monty]

That depends on whether or not the contestants mind splitting the money. The most that can be on a team is two and I will draw them randomly out of the contestant pool on February 5, 2011, to give people time to sign up.

On the show there's two, but I think on here it would be easier to play individually.

Oh, and no research right?

[Monty]

Of course! Yes, just to clarify now, no research will be allowed, however if you have a teammate, you can either pm or post in this thread to figure out the answer. The topics will range from tv shows to Odyssey to the ToO to the Bible…

And as a hint… I have been reading many of the posts from the Ruins of the Town of Odyssey.

I have now edited the first post to make things a little clearer about how this contest will run. Please feel free to post any questions you may have.

[bookworm]

I don't like the time limit. Like I said, I can't get on every day/all day.

[Monty]

I realize that. Once I have the contestants selected, I will coordinate times with them.

[bookworm]

Alright then.
Can't wait to start

[shadowdog]

I want to play I love this show!

[Monty]

The new deadline to sign up is now February 5, 2011. The contestants will be drawn completely randomly at 7:00 P.M. Central Time! Don't worry, the game will not begin immediately afterward, I will send you a pm and will will discuss teams and times.

So I take it we are going in teams of two?
That'll probably work. It does on the show. Sometimes.

[Monty]

Okay! Using the List Generator and the Sequence Generator on random.org, I can finally reveal our two contestants.

Without further ado,

*Adds further ado*

I present……

"Yanny and Shadowdog, come on down! You are the next contestants on the Million Dollar Money Drop!"

But don't be sad, Ric, ID4J, Iluvsns, and Bookworm, you are still in the contestant pool! This means that you, too, will have your shot at $100!

Anyone wanting to be added to the contestant pool should post their desire in this thread!

Allow me to be the first to offer my congratulations as I scurry off to send Yanny and Shadowdog their pms!
