Title: The Devil is in the Details - TV Show Quiz
Post by: DJ Doena on March 29, 2013, 12:59:49 PM
Once again it's about guessing TV shows. I post pictures which contain hints to the show.
All pictures come from the pilot episode of the show.
Some pictures are going to be more obscure than others. For some you just need common knowledge, for some you just have to know the show.
I'm going to post one batch every 3 days - 12 batches altogether - but the solutions won't be posted before the end so you can join at any time.
Point system: First try: 2 point Second try: 1 point All 5 shows in one batch: 1 bonus point To be the only one to gues a show: 2 bonus points
Your opponents will be here on the forums, my Twitter (https://twitter.com/DJDoena) followers, the members of the StarTrek-Forum (http://startrek-forum.doena-soft.de/forum/showthread.php?p=212183#post212183) (german) and of the Invelos (http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=666633&PageNum=1&messageID=2060562#M2060562) forums.
You give your answers via Private Message and if you're reading this coming from Twitter, via Twitter Direct Message.
This afternoon there's going to be the first batch.
Batch C is the hardest yet... no idea on any of them! :bag: :P
:o
That made me look and I was surprised to recognize two of the, right of that bat.

I'd like to remind you again: The pictures either show something that's very typical for the show. Or they show something that had a great impact on the characters and set the story in motion.
Let me make this clearer with two pictures of shows that are not in the quiz:
(http://doena-soft.de/quiz/61.JPG)
(http://doena-soft.de/quiz/62.JPG)
First notice the framing (4:3 or 16:9) which allows certain conclusions about the era.
Then you'll need to determine if the picture shows something typical or specific.
The first picture is relatively easy. The "Daily Planet" is Superman's newspaper. And since it's drawn, it's easy to identify as Superman: The Animated Series.
The second picture is more difficult. The 16:9 framing tells you that's a newer show. And that's obviously marijuana in the suitcase. But is this show about drugs, like Weeds? Or is it just the catalyst? In this case the latter, because it's Suits.

So did they get the apartment...?
Title: Re: The Devil is in the Details - TV Show Quiz
Post by: Tom on May 05, 2013, 09:41:47 AM
Yes, they switched apartments for several episodes.
The girls got it back after they flashed the guys ("Totally worth it!").

Three more days or join or finish the last batch(es).
When I publish the solutions there will be an explanation of the picture. Behind each explanation is a link leading to a show-related video. Only if I couldn't find anything appealing I took the intro of the show (which is incidentally true for the very first show on the list, so don't get dismayed).
I hope these videos bring back fond memories of the show or even make you discover some you have yet to watch.

You need to revisit the series... not flashed the guys... the girls kissed for one minute to get the apartment back. :P
Po-tay-to po-tah-to. ;)

It's now or never: One more day to go!

Time's up and the results are in.
But first let me give you some statistics.
There was no picture not correctly guessed.
There was no picture only guessed by one person (hence no single-guesser bonus points).
The hardest picture was A-4 (04) which was Michael Westen's loft from Burn Notice (4 points total).
(http://doena-soft.de/quiz/04.JPG)
Second hardest was I-5 (45) which was singer Vonda Shepard who sang the title song from Ally McBeal and had several appearances on the show (6 points total).
(http://doena-soft.de/quiz/45.JPG)
The easiest picture was B-5 (10) which was Tim Taylor from Home Improvement (35 points total).
(http://doena-soft.de/quiz/10.JPG)
Second easiest was D-5 (20) which was the seperation of the saucer section from Star Trek: The Next Generation (34 points total).
(http://doena-soft.de/quiz/20.JPG)
There were a total of 18 players, 15 of whom finished the game.
Since there was no single-guesser bonus the perfect score is 132 (60 * 2 + 12).
Players who finished until the last batch scored between 40 and 125 points.
The mathematical average of all players who have finished is 81.2 points.
The median (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median) average of all players who have finished is 85 points.
And now to the winners!
Second runner-up with 107 points: Vulcan from StarTrek-Forum.de (http://www.StarTrek-Forum.de/)
First runner-up with 112 points: my former work colleague Abel.
And the winner with a whooping 125 points: Spike, also from StarTrek-Forum.de
Here's the final scorecard with all images, all solutions, all explanations and - don't forget - the collection of Youtube snippets:
