I’ve had a lot of fun with 15 facts (5 lies)… but keeping up with the guesses has been a bit of a distraction. As the honeymoon week has continued, I’ve made errors on one person’s guesses. So… here without any further ado..

Answers the quick form…
4. My IQ has been tested at over 190
6. I took part in a mass eggnapping incident against a High School sociology class.
10. I joined a social fraternity in college.
13. One summer I was an exchange student and travelled to Belgium, Holland, France, and Germany
15. I am an ordained priest and not by the Universal Life Church.

And now in detail…
4. My IQ has been tested at over 190

Sorry, no. Not that high. It’d be nice.. but no. Though, I’m pleased a few people bought into that one 🙂 Thanks.

6. I took part in a mass eggnapping incident against a High School sociology class.

This sounds so real, it convinced a few people. It helps that this was an old yearn I used to tell people as a true story.

10. I joined a social fraternity in college.

I did not initiate into any Greek social frats in college. 2 academic and 1 service. But I wasn’t a party animal.

13. One summer I was an exchange student and travelled to Belgium, Holland, France, and Germany

I’ve never been to France. This was one of my eeeeevul ones. I was living in Holland and flew into and out of Belgium and took a day trip to Germany. No france.

15. I am an ordained priest and not by the Universal Life Church.

This one tripped lots of people up. Because they read it as:
    I am an ordained priest but not by the ULC.
Lots of people thought, “Yeah, he’s an EGC priest. Easy one.” The and not was specifically designed to be a trap. I actually did do the online ULC thing in college while on an overnight shift at a computer lab. So, I got my ULC ordination first. And since I have it. “And not” means 15 is a lie. I know. “Rat Bastard”

So, how did people guess?

Behind the next cut, I list how many “lie” guesses I got for each fact. This was actually a pain. Some people guessed ‘truths”, some made multiple guesses. Basically I put one vote per person. For one person, I stopped counting votes when he’d hit the correct answers, but not all at once. I’d given him a mis-score and he kept guessing. See what happens when you’re distracted by a beautiful woman in Sin City.

Here’s the Chart:

Which Guess
# Desc False
1 Breaking Glass 6
2 Failing 7th 7

10 Joined a Frat 5
11 Traffic Run 5
12 Pregnant? bed? 2
13 Student Abroad 7
14 Andrew Crasher 2

This was fun… So.. lastly:

With all those truths…
