Split Second | Michael hosts, pt. 4

[gamshwfan]

As we were talking about on the show tonight. The certain questions such as: Masters of The Maze, Carmen Sandiego, $1 Million Chance and Star Fox were WAY too esoteric. I don't think the real people would get the right answers, except Hardy but that's no guarentee.

Plus the messed up tie and memory buster, were among Greg's points he made tonight.

Why didn't you start the two tied leaders at 4 like they did on the original show?

[mtiller2006]

Because it was a long time since I saw Split Second, and I never recalled what they did if they were tied.

Countdown Round # of question parts to win:

Kennedy: 1st place = 3; 2nd place = 4; 3rd place = 5

Hall: 1st place = 4; 2nd place = 5; 3rd place = 6

I don't know how ties are resolve in the Kennedy version, but the Hall version was like this:

Tie for 1st place = 4 each with third place = 5, so 4, 4, 5 (that throws people off--one would think 4, 4, 6)

Tie for 2nd place = 5 each with first place = 4, so 4, 5, 5

Three way tie for 1st place = all 4's. :)

So the penultimate Countdown score before the Star Fox 64 question should have been Taryn = 1, Anthony = 1, Michelle = 2 (so Michelle wouldn't have needed to answer the MacBeth question).

AARRGGHH! not what i meant, i KNOW it wasn't answered, but even if it had been answered, how would the fact that u misworded it call for a score adjustment.

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

i kinda misworded that. even if that 1 had been answered, how could that have affected the scores?

[mtiller2006]

It would not have affected the score since it was not answered by anyone. But, if Anthony did answer that, then I'd invite him back on a future episode anyway

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

does the fact that you misread the 1 answer for the carmen sandiego question really matter?

[mtiller2006]

It really didn't, even though I thought everyone should know of that mistake as well

[smashwhammy]

the errors had nothing to do with the misreading

[gamshwfan]

The countdown round was as exciting as it could ever be. The music is okay it may not be thrilling but it's okay. About the technical difficulties, you shouldn't have brought them back; you discovered the mistake before the countdown round and corrected things so therefore you shouldn't have let it effect things that occured. Since there would be somewhat of a limit to how manyy you ask; talking fast was not nessesary here. The game is not perfect so far but you do have good ideas Michael.

[mtiller2006]

I just thought of the returning to be fair, since it took a while to figure out.

This ending was similar to one of the two Tom Kennedy-hosted "Split Seconds".

[rmenga4]

Next time do well on your next powerpoint vid

[mtiller2006]

Some of these are tougher than it really seems

[captaintakemeshoppin]

I was SOOOO close to winning this one in spite of the difficulties!! So close and yet so far away! In regards to the piano I "won," had I really won that one, I would probaby re-teach myself how to play; after all, I WAS gonna be a music major until my high school prevented me from doing so! :'-(

[namk19]

i just want to say I was rooting for anthony
