S16/B3 SWP conversions

If you could choose to stake £1 on twenty questions over twenty lines (that's £400/answer) with the chance of dropping massive jackpots, would you do it?

The questions are totally random. Most questions take the form of, 'Bufo bufo is the latin name for which creature?' On a standard SWP format you would select the answer toad for progression to the next question.

In this format the question is randomly generated and randomly distributed over twenty lines. So the form of question would (simplified) look like this

1) Lat
2) Bufo
3) Creature
4) For
5) Name
6) Is
7) in
8) bufo
9) the
10) which

Hold on, I'm only playing ten lines, what am I on about?

1) Bu
2) Na
3) The
4) Wh
5) Me
6) Lat
7) In
8) Fo
9) Bu
10) Ich
11) Cre
12) Fo
13) At
14) Fo
15) Ure
16) R

Yes, I know there are smiley faces up there. That's all part of the randomness.

Hold on, no I'm playing 16 lines, that can't be right......one tick......well look you get the idea. It's perfectly clear.

You have a random timer, could be 0.79 microseconds, could be two decades, to get the right answer. It's incredibly hard as the fragments of questions....sorry hold on, fragments? It's whole questions over twenty lines over a set time of. One moment. I've got this a bit mixed up.

<<Break>>



Ok. Right I'm back. There are twenty questions. All random. Intertwined like a cross word. Here's a quick example.


What 1943 can chemical

year Oscar King Submarine


autobiography surname dictionary


TFT 1858 waiting for Godot Llangollen



It's clear to see that the answer is 'The Beatles' and '1855' at the same time. Had you staked £40 on this, you'd have now been in the running for an £800 return.

There have been complaints. Spoiler quadratic equations fragmented over multiple lines and with multiple answers with a 0.79 nano second timer to get the answer right. Play this on mega spins and you can lose a million pounds in a blink of an eyelid.

However if you play a million questions over a million lines it's quite possible that whatever answer you give is right in some way, shape or form. Rumour has it that these are emptiable just by mumbling incoherent nonsense. This would be fresh money for those that have found DOND - no boxes to be chipped. The rechip was simple, the game was reprogrammed as DOND - no offers, a terrible game with a very low payout. So it looks like this s16 SWP malarky is the future.

Your streams of consciousness are surprisingly readable Streakypoos. What are you on?!

Has anyone else ever been sad enough to DREAM of quiz machines? As with any dreams the normal rules of life don't apply and I sometimes dream of very odd machines - lots of buttons, 15 different answers, questions that aren't in the right order...

What am *I* on is clearly the only logical response to this post!

:wink:

It seems that Streakypoos' post is having the effect of opening up some twisted psyches. I too must confess that sleeping provides no barrier to playing machines. Interesting that my 'dream machines' also have a ridiculous amount of options available! Maybe not 15 though, more like around 8. However I've still yet to win anything on these figments since by the time I've scanned all the options for the answer ...

Perhaps we need a psychiatrist as our Phone-a-Friend? :wink:

Yes, yes.

I was listing items on Ebay (clearing space in the new house) which gets mind numbingly boring. I was also playing poker and getting dealt 2 6 suited every hand. This is mind numbingly boring and expensive. As with each deal, 2 6 suited looks more and more like the nuts as the flawed human psyche expects trip 2s to flop out via the law of averages.

The creative outlet for all this was a couple of alcoholic beverages mixed with some Vivid vaguely relevant musings that I may have daydreamed about at a boring time in work that week = that piffledypoffle up there.

I almost deleted it as I thought it was too silly, but then I thought some people might find it mildly entertaining, so left it up.
