A "gymnasium" in the US is where our Physical Education classes are held. Most common definition: "a large room used for various indoor sports (as basketball or boxing) and usually equipped with gymnastic apparatus."

Secondary definition (of which I was never aware until just now): "a European secondary school that prepares students for the university." Ah, so it's like a college-prep school.

Okay, let's count North Pole, Alaska on its own. Your loss. Wernazuma III and mrmitchell now share the tenth place at 84 pts. ADG drops one more point to 30. Space05us remains 20th at 52 pts. I.e. all the bloody same.

Since Kassiopeia did not wish to reveal my comedic genius to the world by posting my full answers, here's a few interesting ones:

quote:
7. Have you read 'the Lord of the Rings'?

Yes (not really)

(Was this counted as yes or no?)
quote:
10. Did Jacko do it?

No, but he did do a bunch of kids

(Was this counted as yes or no?)
quote:
13. Are you afraid of the number 13?

Not so much as I am of that 57 mofo. That number scares the **** out of me

(This was probably counted as "no").

Now, you all must laugh so hard that your heart stops from the intense pressure of the lung-exploding laughter.

#7 was counted as "yes". I almost felt like giving extra bonus points for completely grasping the idea of this game, unlike some other participants. #10 was counted as a "no", as I didn't specify what Jacko was supposed to have done, therefore the part after the comma is irrelevant. #13 was a "no".
