Is that how the scoring will work - by multiplying your scores? Wouldn't it be better to add them together? Say by some miracle I score zero on the last question - every other answer I give would be irrelevant as anything times zero is still zero. Or is that part of the appeal?

Whitechapel Owl Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) You can't get zero, because you picking a unique answer would score 1 so your score doesn't increase. If all your answers were unique you'd score 1 as in 1x1x1x1 etc etc Edited October 5, 2016 by Whitechapel Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
