maybe we should start one
Its Coat of Arms would contain the phrase
I'm 25% sure.

Particularly if the 50/50 has already been used.

Didn't we have one who said he was less than 25% sure once?

Is there a nominee on today's show?

The Capcom cellphone game actually does that, if you try to use the PAF at the $1MM question. It's not much better, and not very accurate, at any of the upper tier levels.

I'd rather have a PAF who admits that he's just guessing than one who's cocksure but wrong. No PAF Hall of Fame can be complete without Will Durst and his ilk.

The one that drives me crazy is:
"I haven't a clue. I think it's B."

We should also include the contestants who:
(A) misread or mispronounce the question
(B) try to distill the question into something simpler and completely botch it
(C) mumble
(D) tell us in advance that their PAF (usually their dad) is the smartest guy they know
I'm still waiting for this to happen: the contestant reads the choices in the wrong order (vertically, reading A-C-B-D) and then the PAF gives a letter response "B", really meaning "C".
I'm 25% sure

How about contestants who say that they're smarter than their PAFs?

This has nothing to do with PAF's, but just looking at those shoes make my feet hurt!

I have also hoped for this. But the PAFs more often respond with the answer rather than the letter, so it hasn't happened yet that I've seen.

I remember one from my MBFFB® days that said he was 10% sure....

Chuck Pollak - 7/21/05
Chuck has been interested in gemology since he was a little kid.
Meredith notes that Chuck is single and can get his hands on diamonds. "That's a good thing to know, oh yeah!"
Chuck may be the perfect person to investigate that rock you have in your head, Mere....

The famous WWII "We Can Do It!" poster portrays Rosie the Riveter doing what?
A: Riding a bicycle B: Carrying a lunchpail
C: Hammering a nail D: Flexing her biceps
PAF: Chuck's brother, Tom, says, "I would say flexing her muscles but I only have about 10% confidence in that."
Wait a minute, here. I'm not sure what's going on inside that little head of Tom's, but if he "would say flexing her muscles", but only has 10% confidence in it, then that leaves 90% confidence in any of the other 3 answers.... even equally divided, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for "Flexing her (muscles) biceps" to be the answer that Tom would feel the most confident in saying. So just what was Tom trying to say? And just why did Chuck develop such a fascination with rocks while he was young? Amazing how such incompetence can make a person think such deep thoughts...
ATA - Studio: A: 1% B: 8% C: 12% D: 79%
ATA - AOL: A: 2% B: 10% C: 14% D: 74%
Thank you audience, even you morons on AOL out there, for bailing out the Cubic Zirconia Brothers.

I was waiting for someone to raise it.
