Again, another game that requires you to be active 
Why can't we use HCMs and answer a question only once? If we're mistaken it doesn't count?

How about genielord crosses out those already answered? Also I have no wish to participate in games that everyone can post his answers like that, without even knowing what has been answered. I could come half an hour later and find the game (half)finished. There is no formality about it, messy.

What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate.
