Apparently, some people are having a bit of a problem with the "rules" used in the TV Challenge. Here's Marianne's view on things :
"I do not agree about the Tragger Hippy thing: I included that one as two separate programs. You didn't mention this in your rules and on the other hand this makes it 22 programs listed and not 21! I feel a little disappointed about that. On the other hand six correct is not that bad, is it?"
I have to admit that I was under the impression that the two Tragger Hippy shows were the same, that's why I figured no one would list both of them. Seems I made a mistake, it were indeed two different shows. The final answer lists Tragger Hippy twice, and if you got both correct, you'll get two points. If only got 1 correct, you obviously only get 1 point. After checking and verifying things, Nadia also listed TH twice. Two points for her as well it is!
"Question about Friday 08/12: how could you see/record so many programs on Friday, as you were going to a quiz with friends? I included that information in my list, you know. Was that also a set-up?"
That wasn't a set-up in any way. Let me point you to the comments made on the original challenge :
Do you mean the programs that you actually do or did watch? Or is it just the programs you would like to watch, without considering your working schedule. (Posted by: Hilda at December 11, 2006 8:12 PM)
Programs I'd like to watch, disregarding my working schedule. (Same as the lists posted at various other times on this site) (Posted by: ServMe at December 11, 2006 11:44 PM)
If you were under the impression that I'd only pick shows I could watch, but weren't sure about it, you could have asked. You'd have gotten the same answer as the one that Hilda got, which was posted online for everyone to see. I've never taken the fact whether or not I'd be able to see something into account. The TV lists are "what I'd like to see" lists, because they reflect my interest in topics and subjects. Unfortunately for you, I'm not ruling in your favor on this account.
You still got 7 correct, which is very much considering you pretty much disregarded Friday. Consider yourself the unofficial winner of challenge #4, but unfortunately I can't give you points for it :)
Comments
I admit I didn't read that post to Hilda (I don't check them all the time again and again; I might have seen it, but I don't recall it anyway). As also written to your earlier: it's not about winning at all! Apart from that it's not that important how I feel or think, so please don't change the scores for the other competitors just because of my humble opinion. I think I just puzzled to hard on this one... and it's your game with your rules.
