Hear ye, hear ye! I, the Baroness of Feline Avians, have a bounty of news to deliver! As you may have heard, through the grape vine, two couples were blessed with the gift of parenthood! Each couple had three beautiful babies, but due to unfortunate times, each couple could only keep one of their babies. This leaves four orphan males to find loving, competent homes.
Now I've been informed that there is a test, a challenge to overcome, before any of you can have a chance at taking one of the babies home. Admittedly, I'm uncertain of the task at had, but I have been given a main theme...
The theme of your challenge is...
Nonsensical Balderdash!
Contest starts: Thursday, September 13th, 6PM EST (Eastern) Contest ends: BLARGH.

SO, PIDGIE, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?
So, here's the deal. At any time during the duration of the contest, I will post a short list of questions that I come up with off the top of my head. The topics can be anything from T.V. shows to Gaiaonline trivia. You have 24 HOURS to answer these questions by submitting them here in this thread. I will then grant points for every correct answer.
But, here's the catch. After each "round", I will roll one 10 sided die.
> If I roll a 1-3, everyone loses a point.
> If I roll a 4-6, everyone gains a point.
> If I roll a 7, everyone gains three points.
> If I roll an 8-9, everyone loses two points.
> If I roll a 10, I'll post a bonus question worth four points.
***** Bonus questions can only be answered by one person, so whoever can quote me the fastest gets to answer the question. :3
Here's an example of a round:
Step 1: I post questions
Quote:
QUESTIONS FOR date ARE: 1. Blah? 2. Nweee? 3. Sping sprong? 4. Taters? 5. Eleven?
Step 2: You answer them.
Quote:
1. No 2. Yes 3. Yellow 4. He really liked eggs. 5. That wasn't a real question...
Step 3: I check your answers and award points for correct answers. (Incorrect answers do not deduct points)
Step 4: I roll one 10 sided die
Quote:
PidgeonsGoMeowX3 rolled a 7! Everyone gets three more points added to their total!
Step 5: I update the scoreboard and devise my next set of questions.
The first four participants with the highest scores at the end of the contest will win one of the babies. Highest score gets first pick, second place gets second pick, third place gets third pick, and fourth place gets the remaining baby.
After that explanation, here are some rules! |3;
1. PM or quote me if you have any issues with the game.
2. Be patient with me, I'm in college and I don't always have the time to answer questions.
3. What I've assigned is set in stone. You have to figure it out on your own.
4. No cheating! (Asking people for answers or hints in any way shape or form)
5. The reason it's called Nonsensical Balderdash is because of the craziness of the questions and the "This cannot be!" feeling when the dice cheat you of your points or award someone else with a bigger lead. XD
6. Have fun!

Shoot, I haven't the first clue.... Gonna go with creative answers for these. =)
1. On Gaiaonline, which one of these NPC pairs are not related? - Peyo, Rina
(Actually, I tend to be of the opinion that they're most likely very much related, at least in some distant way. But they're the most obviously not related of those choices. ^_^ Gah, it's been so long since I've been into Gaia storyline. It used to be so much fun!)
2. What band sang the following songs? - Stand In The Rain - Courage - High School Google says Superchick . Those three phrases together would make an awesome random short-story.
3. In the cartoon "Rugrats", what are Angelica's parent's names? [fcolor=green]Drew and .... Charlotte Pickles Rugrats FTW!
4. True or False: Vocaloids are special lubricant capsules for when your vocal chords become dried out. What the heck is that? .... No by logical. Wiki says False
5. Finish this sentence: Where in the world is ______ _______? CARMEN SANDIEGO!!! [/font] Amazing how long a musical tune can stick in your head for... like your whole life...
6. Can you find the following images? Link them in order of request:

Cheltsie and Gwendolyn, you guys both got number six wrong because -
Cheltsie, you had eleven images that either lead nowhere or were not included at all. In future, make sure you have the time to check your images for errors after you link them. <3
Gwendolyn, you had a broken link and an incorrect image. Feel free to ask what they were if you want to know. <3

Pidgeons Go Meow X3
I checked my images and none were broken. Well on my end but I think i know which was wrong, but please tell me anyway.

Gwendolyn Barrett
The Crazy Cat Lady took me to a blank page with the words "Referral Denied" written on it. That's considered a broken link. :3
The other one was the Pink and White Floral design. You gave me an image of a pink and white flower bouquet, which wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for a template or a design like one you could make on photoshop, gimp...etc. Not a real photo or object. Does that make sense? <3
