Uly and I were going to conduct the QoD jointly this month. I think that he has some very clever stuff planned, probably to commence on Monday, and he will be presenting QoD questions Monday-Friday. I will handle weekends, beginning today.

For the weekend QoD questions, I will post a question on each Saturday and each Sunday, and each question will remain open until noon (Eastern Time) on the following Tuesday (to give people who might not be around on the weekend time to attend to it). The QoD questions will be closed book (i.e., no peeking at anyone else's answers, no Google, no outside sources allowed, etc.) This being a political season, with lots of talking and stuff about other countries and money, most of the questions will involve language and other countries and money.

In most instances, I will set up the questions with some very long-winded explanation of the theme and what you are supposed to do, and then, well, you do it. I think that there will usually be about ten questions, with one point for each correct answer (no penalties for incorrect answers, except insofar as not getting a point counts as a 'penalty'), and there will likely be a bonus point or two available, which will probably be explained in the long-winded explanation.

I hope that this will be fun.

Ooooh... now this I surmise will be a good month of QOD. I can't wait to see what the big boys have in store.

Ok. I will run the weekday QOD. My game will be simple.....One question per day. I will give you the five categories for each day i.e. Monday-History Tuesday-Movies.....etc. You will know categories for all five days. I will ask a question. You answer it and then assign a point value (1,3,5 or 7 for Monday thru Thursday) based on how certain you are of the answer. You may only use each point value once. Friday will have different scoring which will be explained at the time of the question. There will be four weeks of gameplay. There will be a total of 130 points. Needless to say, no outside sources. Just use your own noggin.

Will we get the categories ahead of time?

Yes. This will help for each day's bidding. If you don't know Monday's answer or are unsure and you think that there are categories later in the week that you might know then you would bid one point and save the higher values for later questions. The Friday (bonus) question has separate scoring.
