Welcome to another round of the Prediction Game!
How well can you predict the answers of your fellow vimovingcenter-mates?
Send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE with your answers to the following questions.
DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS HERE!
You will score 1 point for each person who gave the same answer that you did. If you are the only person to give your answer, you still get 1 point. This is sort of like Family Feud, where they surveyed 100 people and the top answers are on the board, except that you guys will be the people surveyed.
Answers are due by Noon on Sunday, January 2, 2011. I will reveal everybody’s answers and scores here after that. I will be the judge, and I will decide whether answers are close enough to be considered “the same.” There is no prize, just fun (I hope).
1. Name a blender drink that is popular in the USVI.
2. Name a problem that visitors sometimes experience in the USVI.
3. Name something that rusts quickly in the USVI.
4. Name something that you might take to the beach.
5. Name an island that is "down island."
6. Name something that might fly past in a hurricane.
7. Name a department or office of the USVI government.
8. Name a New Years resolution (excluding "lose weight" ).
Remember: You are trying to guess the most popular answers, which might not be the first answer you think of. Send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE and DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS HERE!
Also, do not post on this thread any suggested answers or anything that might influence the answers of others. After the deadline at Noon on Sunday, January 2, 2011, you can talk about the answers all you want.
For reference, here is the thread from the first game: https://www.vimovingcenter.com/talk/read.php?4,147110
