Think Different Bear Edition

Welcome to Think Different Bears Edition! This will be five concurrent games, all of which are played with one set of answers. They will be:

1. Lowest scoring player
2. Lowest scoring team (total of players' scores)
3. Lowest score within each team (i.e. how you would do if your score was only compared to those of your team)
4. Least SHEEPy player (we'll get to that later, but it means lowest number of SHEEP answers)
5. Least SHEEPy team (total SHEEP answers)

So, how does one play Think Different? At the bottom of this post will be a link to a Google form, which you will fill out according to an hono(u)r system. The goal is to answer correctly, but to give the answer that the least number of other players give. You will receive a number of points equal to the number of people who answered the same as you for each question- provided the answer is correct. The most popular answer is called the SHEEP. Now, suppose you give an incorrect answer. You then receive points equivalent to double the number of people who answered the SHEEP. So, let's say six people are asked to name something that normally lives in the ocean. Three people say "Shark"; that is the SHEEP answer and they receive 3 points each. One person each respond with "kelp" and "squid" and receive one point each. One person responds with "Werewolf" and receives 6 points for giving a wrong answer. Each question works the same way.

In this edition, there will be teams with simple, but handy perks, from which you may choose one. In their simplicity, they can still be very helpful.

Paws - A bear's paws create its iconic print that anyone can recognize. Their claws are strong enough to help a bear climb a tree, and maul any enemy they encounter. Effect: On 2 questions of your choice, the points you receive are halved.

Snout - The snout of a bear is good at sniffing for delicate food, far and wide. While also having enough biteforce to chew through anything from bamboo to meat on a bone. Effect: Receive 0 points instead of any on 1 question.

Pelt - The thick pelt is a great protection from wind and weather. It keeps warm in arctic temperatures, camouflages in the woods and snow, and makes for a good rug. Effect: Swap points with another player on 1 question.

Bamboo - It's not the best and most nutrient-rich food, but it is available in great quantity at any time for the bamboo-enjoyers among bears. Effect: When you answer no more than 5 questions wrong, have 5 points substracted from your final score.

Do not look up answers or coordinate your answers with others. Think Different is intended to be harder than Think Same, and in this case Google will not usually help you anyway.

The honor pledge: By playing Think Different, you agree to not disclose your answers to any player save the organizer ( Wubdich ) between the posting of this form and the closing of responses. You agree to bring any issues to the attention of the organizer as soon as you find them and not to challenge the outcome if you do not do so. You agree to only submit one set of answers, even if you are drunk. If you wish to dispute the ruling of an answer as correct/incorrect, you agree to bring it up with the organizer via forum PM, NS telegram, or Discord DM. If you want clarification on any question or to modify an existing answer, you agree to bring it to the attention of the organizer via forum PM, NS telegram, or Discord DM.

The game will begin in 7 days. The game can be found here:
