I would love to but I live in Spain.

Q6 sux,
one team member still can't answer her question cause of internal server error.
Also, I wish that the correct answers would have been posted. Does anyone know, if the answer The OC and The Simple Life was the actual answer or did we miss something?
We are in the top 100, but it still sux.
Doubt if we will play another one of these, Too frustrating and time consuming.

yeah, I totally agree, we put the simple life as well and got it wrong.. What other reality tv show features two friends that go to arkensa and then accross the states the following season?

'Soccer', or football as it's actually called, is indeed a sport. However, the World Cup is definately a tournament.
Technically, there's no such thing as 'game' when it's football: the correct term is match, as in 'a football match'.

I got that question too... i put The Simple Life, wrong. For one question, i put "The OC" but apparently it needed the .s to be right... lame thing.

We answered The OC. It should have been The OC's?
oh well, it still is irritating.

  I still think that when it's a grey area like that they should accept more than one answer in a contest like this, or let you debate your answers at least .. I posted dictionary definitions in my answer back though, we'll see if they answer to that in four weeks

-- as per the dictionary.com definitions:

soc·cer   ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (skr)
n.
A game played on a rectangular field with net goals at either end in which two teams of 11 players each try to drive a ball into the other's goal by kicking, heading, or using any part of the body except the arms and hands. The goalie is the only player who may touch or move the ball with the arms or hands

World Cup
n.

A soccer tournament held every four years in which qualifying national teams compete to determine a world champion.
The championship awarded to the winner of this tournament.

FIFA

Fédération Internationale de Football Association (International Federation of Football Association; Zurich, Switzerland)

We put The O.C. with the dots and got that one right.  So really it looks like it wasn't the s that was missing, still very frustrating though.

By the way, does anyone know what they mean by awarding full points for the first three weeks?  I was having a discussion about it with someone and they had interpreted it as the full points as though not having had gotten a question wrong.  I was thinking it was more along the lines of not having had gotten a time penalty.

"Attention all Q6 Players:

We apologize for the server problems you may have experienced. To thank you for your patience and continued participation, we will be awarding full points to all teams for Week 1, 2 and 3.

I put the same answer and it was wrong.. made me pissed... I'm in a group with ~INVASION~ and a bunch of other butterly's... I'm the only non-butterly

Oh I see, you had to have The O. C.
You're right, that is lame, but in the tv guides etc, it comes up as The OC
We never got full pts for the first 3 wks either.
