    Sits' slightly dull IMDB Score-Guessing game

    QUIZ NUMBER ONE (answers are in the spoiler). If you don't know any of them I doubt it will make much difference:

    Hawaii Five-o (original)
    Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (original)
    Battlefield Earth (Travolta)
    Sticky Moments with Julian Clary
    Neighbours

    [spoiler]Hawaii Five-o 7.4
    Scooby-Doo 7.9
    Battlefield Earth 2.4
    Sticky Moments 7.9
    Neighbours 5.6 [/spoiler]
    Calculate your scores on this easy-to-follow scale (clearly, these are not cumulative):

    Within 0.1 – 15 points
    Within 0.3 – 10 points
    Within 0.5 – 5 points
    Within 1 – 1 point

    I scored a mighty 25, earned on only two of the five. Can you do better? Probably. Feel free to set some more. Or not.

    I don;t really understand what we have to do. What exactly are we guessing?

      How these TV shows or movies rate on IMDB.

      Apologies, I sort of assumed everyone knows IMDB nowadays.

        Ah. Thanks. I do know IMDB, but the rating side of it is something I'm only dimly aware of. Now that you clarify, I see that "IMDB score" would logically mean that, rather than IMDB "score-guessing" which is how I read it, and hence my confusion

          I got 35 on the first three out of sheer luck.

          I only have the very vaguest idea of Neighbours and no clue at all on number 4

            Is IMDB out of 10 or 100?

            (Not fancying my chances here...)

              Ten, to one decimal place

                I like IMDB, because it has confused my one child acting part with someone else completely, and claims that I played the Mummy in The Mummy. Which I didn't. I had no idea that it had scores though (The Mummy scores 7.0, whereas the thing I was actually in scores a paltry 6.33).

                  Wait, so your real name's Boris Karloff, pebble? That's so cool.

                    OK Sits, my guesses:

                    Hawaii Five-o
                    (original) – 7.6
                    Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (original) – 8.2
                    Battlefield Earth (Travolta) – 1.9
                    Sticky Moments with Julian Clary – never heard of it, but 2.6
                    Neighbours – 6.8

                    Within 0.1 – 15 points
                    Within 0.3 – 10 points
                    Within 0.5 – 5 points
                    Within 1 – 1 point

                    I scored a mighty 25, earned on only two of the five. Can you do better? Probably. Feel free to set some more. Or not.
                    Hmmph. 25 points for me too, based on three of the five. I'd score around -65 for one of my other guesses, though.

                      Howard Pratt, surely?

                        I was working on the assumption that Boris is listed by IMDb under his screen identity of Karloff, not as Pratt... but I guess we'll have to wait for pebble's response.

                        Otherwise, I'll give you 20-1 on him being named Arnold Vosloo.

                          William Henry Pratt, unless I missed the joke.
