12/1 20 QUESTIONS FOR NEXT TRAX!!!

[David]

It may not need too many yes/no questions to narrow down a number (such as a year) if you're smart about it. If you have a range (between 2000 and 2006, say), ask if it's greater than the one smack dab in the middle (after 2003) and the answer cuts your range in half no matter the answer. Certainly a lot better than narrowing it down one freaking movie at a time.

I agree with Jack Ross that we really shouldn't expect this 20 questions to be organized.  N00bs who want a $3.00 Rifftrax for free are going to be the ones blurting out wild guesses.  They have no real interest in finding out what the next movie will be.  They only care about the free Rifftrax.

So, I simply suggest that all the veterans of this board be on their toes and ask their intelligent questions as quickly as they can.  Hopefully you'll get in front of a n00b and we'll get helpful answers to helpful questions.

If the server is fixed (we'll see in a couple hours), I think this 20 questions will go much better than the last one.  I'm hoping that was the true reason behind Monday's insanity.  If not, I'm truely horrified at the lack of intelligence behind some of those guesses.

Wow, a new one already?? I feel so spoiled! (And I like it!  )

Hey! This will be a fun thing to tune in to during the loooongest hour of the day.

We've changed the rules on this one based upon user feedback. The person who is the MVP - decided upon by RiffTrax staff, possibly with help from a computational algorithm burned into DisembAudio's calculation circuit - will receive the free RiffTrax.

To reiterate: simply blurting out the answer will NOT get you a free RiffTrax!

You have to ask thoughtful, relevant, and non-contradictory questions that actually move the game forward. The person who is deemed the most valuable player will be the one to receive the bounty.

Also, we might want to designate someone to keep track of all the questions and yes/no answers so they can post them at regular intervals so people don't have to keep flipping back through each page. 

Yeah.

Yeah.

I just write them down as we go along.

With the (potential) lack of people blurting out ridiculous guesses, there's no excuse for not getting the movie this time!

[Pak-Man]

Over on the practice post, the question answers include a running tally of answers. Think you mods can do that?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

By the way, if this Rifftrax is Minority Report my head might explode.

Oh, sure, do it the PRACTICAL way. 

[David]

I wonder if this one has anything to do with Lowtax's mysterious announcement (as of yet not followed up).
I hope the new prize rule kicks in to everyone's heads.
I hope most of the board veterans aren't off driving to Milwaukee right now...

Billiant idea.
I'll be driving home from work when you's guys are having fun with this. But I will check it out when I get home and hopefully its solved!

That sounds like a lot of work.
