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..<\/p>\n

Answers the quick form…
\n4. My IQ has been tested at over 190
\n6. I took part in a mass eggnapping incident against a High School sociology class.
\n10. I joined a social fraternity in college.
\n13. One summer I was an exchange student and travelled to Belgium, Holland, France, and Germany
\n15. I am an ordained priest and not by the Universal Life Church.<\/p>\n

And now in detail…
\n4. My IQ has been tested at over 190<\/p>\n

Sorry, no. Not that high. It’d be nice.. but no. Though, I’m pleased a few people bought into that one \ud83d\ude42 Thanks.<\/dd>\n

6. I took part in a mass eggnapping incident against a High School sociology class.<\/p>\n

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.<\/dd>\n

10. I joined a social fraternity in college.<\/p>\n

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

13. One summer I was an exchange student and travelled to Belgium, Holland, France, and Germany<\/p>\n

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.<\/dd>\n

15. I am an ordained priest and not by the Universal Life Church.<\/p>\n

This one tripped lots of people up. Because they read it as:
\n    I am an ordained priest but<\/i> not by the ULC.
\nLots of people thought, “Yeah, he’s an EGC priest. Easy one.” The and not<\/b> was specifically designed to be a trap. I actually did<\/i> 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”<\/dd>\n

So, how did people guess?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Here’s the Chart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
