Monty's Super Duper Showdown

Post by Monty »

There hasn't been a new thread in here for many months.

Here's how this works--every week, there will be a new question. At the end of each week, whoever has the best answer to the question will get $5. You'll submit an answer to the question by posting it here (you can use spoilers or not, your choice).

Here's the twist--you don't know the question until the END of the week! The questions will NOT be trivia-related, but will be questions about experiences, sensations, objects, etc.

Best of luck to you all!

OooooooooOoOOOoO!!!! It's like Jeopardy! ... but also nothing like Jeopardy! FUN!!! \:D/

My answer is as follows:

When accounted for properly, as is standard procedure, you shouldn't have to worry about issues like that becoming too much of a concern. Especially with the llamas that were self-isolating last year.

It's finally time to reveal the first question! This week's question was...

"What most evokes a feeling of serendipity?"

Since there were so many great answers, I've decided to award $5 to the best answer, $4 to the second-best answer, and $3 to the third-best answer.

First, let's start with our bronze medal. In third place...
Kaida. Kaida's answer embodies serendipity in a fun way, there's an element of randomness to it, and you really don't know what's going on. I definitely feel some serendipity when reading this answer.

Congratulations, Kaida!
In second place, taking home $4...
Eugene. Eugene's answer was the last to arrive, and also one of the most poignant. There's a story behind his words, and serendipity is present because of the sheer wonder involved in that narrative.

Congratulations, Eugene!
Finally, in first place, taking home $5...
Pengwin. 307 Monkeys is a suitably odd answer, of course, however, it also evokes the FANTASTIC sci-fi series Twelve Monkeys, which, as a time travel-centric show, has a heck of a lot of serendipity within it.

Congratulations, Pengwin!
The answers have reset, so send in new answers (or the same ones, if you wish) for next Sunday's question!
