Maybe if someone actually TOLD me why my intelligent plan doesn't work, then MAYBE I will understand what all this belly-achin' is about.

[quote name=\'musicman\' date=\'Nov 5 2005, 11:44 PM\']What's so bad about my idea?  If you're going to play CARD SHARKS at home, calling 100 people to ask them...(i.e. "Are you a Democrat or a Republican?") seems impractical and time consuming.

What's bad is, A) You think you're humorous, and B) You thought your idea was unique.

Because. The. Show. Is. Not. Educational.  Now, go play a kazoo.

Yes, it IS eduacational... and you REALLY need to actually read my posts before replying, they look like replys to other posts.

And yours look like replies to other posts, just without the care taken to actually use the Quote function or the English language properly...

No, it's not.  Asking a contestant "How long would it take for the world's fastest spider to walk a mile" (yes, I stole the example) is far from educational.  

Educational, IMO would be asking geniune questions about literature, science, history, etc.

I "actually" read your post, and I came to the same conclusion:
'Yer an idiot; learn how to quote...you've had since July .

Supposing for a moment that you were going to use the dice: why roll ten or eleven of them and add it up when you could just roll two, one for each digit?

Or even roll one die twice... doesn't make it Card Sharks, but it makes it a lot simpler.

In fairness chaps, didn't the Bob Eubanks version have regular estimated guess questions? I certainly remember seeing some when they were shown over here.

Yes, both the Eubanks and Bill Rafferty versions(both of which are now on on GSN in the States) did have such questions, which is why they were brought up in this thread.

The Endless Games home version of CS that came out in 2002 doesn't have such questions, correct?

Because his idea is to give the player whose "question" is a slight advantage by giving them a hair more information to work off of when making their guesstimation. if you just roll two (and keep them concealed until the reveal, as the OTHER point is to do this with only two players and no host), the correct guess is 50 every time, and that's even MORE boring. (If that's possible.)

Uh, WRONG, it isn't.

It's YOU'RE AN idiot, if we're gonna be technical about it, musicman.

Can somebody throw this guy under the bus? I don't wanna waste my energy.
