IWS XXXV - Salmon of Stupid

[St Leo]

All answers are allowed. However, scoring is not based on what the "correct" answer is . It is based on how many other participants choose the same answer. So, for example, if I ask what fruit is the greatest, and 17 people say "banana," each person who answered "banana" will get 17 points for that question. If someone says "mango," and they're the only one, they will get 1 point for that question.

However, the answer doesn't have to even fit the criteria. If two people answer "42" when asked what fruit is the greatest, they will still get two points for that question.

Your individual score will be the total of your scores for all questions.

In this installment, we will all finish Douglas Adams' posthumously published Salmon of Doubt manuscript. It is a depressingly incomplete sequel to the divine Dirk Gently's Holistic Agency and The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul books.

4) What is the one tiny little carjacking lie?

5) What is bigger and nastier than Desmond?

6) How do you feel about Albuquerque?

7) Gusty Winds May Exist?

8) Is Richard Dawkins sexy?

9) Did the butler do it?

A) Minute of silence.

I only recently started Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, and while the plot is not really the thing in Douglas Adams novels, there's no way in heck that I'm reading the above questions.

Oy. The only spoiler is that

Spoiler:

Dirk is still alive in the third book

. Seriously, people, the whole point was to finish the third book. Having read it would not have improved your score. None of these things are actually explained in it.

Yes, an book that wasn't finished at the moment the author died. None of these things were resolved in it and I wanted you mortals to write me an ending.

Lousy unimaginative clods.
