Answer #114. False Advertising
The answer to Steve's Stay-at-Home Coronavirus Quiz for February 17, 2022.
SPOILER ALERT
If you have not read Quiz #114. False Advertising just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did not happen with my various Super Bowl leagues, pools and quizzes?
A. In all, I ran 5 different Super Bowl/Playoff leagues, pools and quizzes. I also played in another 5–-many of those so-called “box” pools. I had 8 different boxes and did not win a single one;
B. I invested a total of $376 in these various contests and won $499.40. In the tradition of fantasy guru Scott Fish, I add a charity component to every sports contest I now run–with a portion of the prize pool going to a charity of the winner’s choice. After the Super Bowl, I sent $350 (collected from various entry fees) to Feed America;
C. In Quiz #113 Worst Ball, I told you about the 28-Question Super Bowl Quiz that I was running. 38 people “took” the Super Bowl Quiz–-and I am sorry to say that I finished 37th. I was all in on Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. These things happen;
D. Former colleague Marian finished 38th;
E. On Super Bowl Sunday, Scott Fish tweeted that he was looking for someone who had put together a list of prop bets that he could give to his 9-year-old son. I sent him a DM with a link to my Super Bowl Quiz and the 9-year-old submitted a quiz, clicking the option “Just for Fun” set up for those who chose not to play for money—which, to me, doesn’t seem like fun.
Scott Fish did send out a tweet asking for a prop sheet for his son. I did send Scott a DM with a link to take my Super Bowl Quiz, but he—and his son—did not “take” Steve’s 28-Question Super Bowl LVI Quiz.
It should surprise no one to know that I have already built the template for next year’s Super Bowl Quiz. 25 questions—and hopefully, they’re a little easier and more user-friendly for 2023. Maybe I’ll add a “What did NOT happen?” question.
