Nine Cents To Go

Hopefully, I will reach that magic number of $10 this week. I am anxious to see if I have the Pay Pal account set up correctly. I realize that I won't know that until after the first of the month, so I still have some waiting to do, but at least, I should reach the number, maybe even today.
It is so cold here today. 14 degrees right now with the wind chill is at 6 degrees Fahrenheit. I was scheduled to go see a friend today, but decided not to go out in this frigid air.
We have been working on a game based on the "Family Feud" concept, but with Bible questions, so we were going to "brainstorm" while having lunch.
As you know by now, I'm a Bible reader and also a "trivia nut" so she asked me to try to put something together for a party that she is planning later in a couple months.
We were going to go over some of the questions I came up with and try to figure out how we would keep score and line everything up, without the conveniences of an electronic scoring board.
It's going to be challenging, so I'm open to any suggestions that anyone might have. I've already come up with the questions: enough to play four games of three rounds each, with a fourth round "sudden death" question. So that's all ready done, and believe me it wasn't easy.
Now, the hard part is figuring out how to assign point values to each answer without being able to poll 100 different people for each question. And how to actually keep score during the process of the game. I thought that a dry erase board might work.
Any suggestions?

@IreneVincent OK that is good, my total hasn't risen much today, seems the faithful are not out here commenting, or perhaps not commenting on the same things I am.

@pgiblett I think it's rather slow today too. This evening, I'm going to concentrate on reading what others have posted that are the "Most Recent." or "Hot Topics"

Five cents to go now. So close. It's been so much fun.

I did go out long enough to pick up my grandson from high school, so he wouldn't have to walk home in the cold. The school is just across the road but it's still a long walk in the cold with the wind blowing

That's what I'm hoping for. There are still two weeks left in this month, so I will be anxious to see what the final payout will be.
