WEEK 15 TRIVIA QUESTION (4/17)
No Outside Resources. This means you cannot use other people, the internet, or other means to help your answer.
ESPN came out with a list of the 25 best sports films from 1979-2004. This list can be found here. The final trivia question will be based on the ESPN Expert Panel's Top 25 list, not the SportsNation users list. Please read the following description very carefully:
There are multiple actors, who have been at least nominated for an Academy Award, to be cast in multiple movies on the Panel's Top 25 list. Your task is to, without outside resources, identify these actors.
Initially, I was going to do a wagering question, but upon further analysis, I like this point structure better:
I am leaving the number of actors out intentionally. I will tell you that there is more than 1 correct answer, but less than 6 correct answers. You will receive 10 points for each correct guess, but will lose 10 points for an incorrect guess.
You can also earn an additional 10 points if you guess all the actors correctly, and another 10 points if you can name which actor has been cast in the most Top 25 sports movies.
Summary Points:
1. Name the Academy Award Nominated Actors who were cast in multiple ESPN Top 25 Films. These actors could have won an Academy Award, but they had to at least be nominated to count.
2. You will receive 10 points for each correct guess, but will lose 10 points for each incorrect guess. The absence of a guess will not count against you.For example, if there are 5 Academy Award Nominated actors who have been cast in multiple sports films and you submit only 3 answers, you will not lose points for not listing 5 actors. You would receive 30 total points if your 3 guesses are correct. However, if one of your 3 answers is incorrect, you would lose 10 points. If you correctly guessed all 5 actors, you would receive 60 points (10 for each correct answer and an additional 10 points for guessing all correctly).
3. Guess which of your answers has appeared most often in ESPN's list for an additional 10 points. Using the above scenario with 5 actors, if you guessed all 5 actors correctly, and guessed which one has appeared in the most top 25 sports films, you would receive 70 points (10 points for each correct answer, an additional 10 for guessing all correctly, and another 10 for guessing which actor has been in the most top 25 sports films).
