I’ve been watching a lot of it recently. It bugs me when someone gets the spirit of the answer right, but they don’t get the point. For example, there was a question asking what scents might remind someone of their partner. The contestant answered “wood”. Now anyone who knows scents and fragrance knows that sandalwood is a very popular scent. That’s obviously what he meant by that, but he doesn’t get the point. Later, someone does get the answer of cologne/body spray.
(It would be cool if anyone could help with my actual question, which is the title of the post. Lol)
But what kind of wood? Generic shop class sawdust? Pine (yellow? White?), Cedar. Juniper.
sandalwood is very specific, and of course “yeah that’s what they meant”…. Because of course they meant the right answer. If the right answer bad been cedar, I bet they would have meant that instead.
There’s no way to know either way, so they go to specific answers as the standard. Otherwise people will cheat.
Yeah, I guess I didn’t think about that. If you hard with being lenient, then everybody has to get that same treatment, and the leniency would probably become more extreme.
