Union Game - Jeopardy!

Well, I see these games that I like to play at other unions, so I figure why not have a game here.

But wait a minute Sparky, this is a Writing Union, we need our heads here so we can think properly. Mindless games don't belong here?

Way ahead of you there Sparky, you see, this union game is an adaptation of Jeopardy.

You see, I have this calandar based on Jeopardy and every day it asks me a different question, each day I will be putting those questions up with the predetermined amount of $.

Whoever gets the first correct answer gets the $. Any wrong answers posted before the correct answer will count as -$ to that players scores.

This is what the Questions look like:

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

The Leaderboard will be kept here.

The Question is ... 

I think I said that I would wait to the end of the month to make my decision, but I have been thinking about it and it just isn't worth it. No one, other than Rin is interested in this game. I tried and failed. Oh well, I will think of something new we can do, maybe that will work, maybe it won't, that remains to be seen.  Ideas try and ideas fail, all I have to complain about this idea was the lack of feedback. I never got a straight response from anyone I asked, I suppose that is partly my own fault.

Oh well, consider this game gone. So long farewell, etc., etc.
