Okay, this round was a learning experience for me and I need to make a clarification about something. Namely, specific vs. general answers.
For most questions, the type of answers that will be listed will be fairly specific. Types of cars, locations, etc. This question was pretty open-ended in that not only could you submit many types of things, but you could then get specific within that category. For example, technically speaking, a 'Lotus' and a 'Car' are two different answers. So are 'House' and 'Mansion'. However, given the nature of the question, I didn't feel that is was in the spirit of the game to get that technical for this question. In other words, the game is about trying to guess what other people will say, not how they will say it.
So, as a general rule, if the question is asking for a specific type of thing, specific answers are required and general category answers will be considered a separate answer. The best example I have of this is that in the first round (5 faraway places), someone mentioned that Siberia is in Russia (or something like that). In that case, there was only one type of answer, locations, so those were two separate answers.
I'll try to make it a point to let everyone know when general answers will be grouped in the future.
Let's get on with this before fuzzy pops a gasket - 16 total submissions this round:
car Car (15)
House (14) - I expected everyone to get these first two. 3 people out of the running
Magic cards (10) - Power 9, I box of each, etc.
Computer (9)
Business (4) - Comic or Game shop specifically
Home Entertainment System (3) - Big screen, movies, etc.
Stock/Investments (3)
Travel (3)
Video Games (3)
Boat (2)
Plane (2)
Stereo System (2)
I always enjoy the one-point answers. Some just didn't make the cut, but others are just thrown in for fun:
The entire collection of Cheapass games (seems a bit, well, cheap ), Devo Power Dome (what is this?), DSL, Pay debts, Exotic Pet, Lifetime pass to the Playboy mansion, Real Estate, Security System, new Wardrobe, and finally: 'Large Frozen Yogurt Half Heath Bar, Half Irish Mint with two toppings, Carmel Critters and Reeses PB Cup'
Enough people put the top 4 that to get points, you needed those plus at least one more match for points.
