    We are going to combine questions 10 and 11 respectively which wanted to know the longest road trip in miles you have taken your Subaru on (best guess) and the farthest away you have bought one.
    • What do you think the spread is from the shortest to the longest road trip? Get within 2500 miles and earn a point.According to my records the shortest road trip reported was 200 miles and the longest was 6500 miles. The spread is therefore 6300 miles. So, 3800-8800 earns you a point. @MrBlue so close...
    • Is the average reported distance driven to purchase a Subie greater or less than 300 miles? Greater. Our cars were an average of 446 miles away when we bought them. You have to go far to get away from the rust belt!
    • How many of us purchased a Subie that was located 1000 miles away or greater? Get within 2 and earn a point. 5 or 6 of us did (myself, @TMF, @skubi1, @pleiades, @CornyTumbleweed, @unhguy78) . 3-8 earns a point here. My favorite answer for this question came from @Todd who replied, "they come to me". Ahhh yes, he is the Subie Whisperer.
    • If you added up all of our reported Subaru road trip miles, would that sum be greater or less than 50k miles? It would be Less at 44903 miles.
    Optional Evil Bonus Point Potential. Get the answer right, earn a point. Get it wrong, subtract a point. What do you think the average reported road trip distance is? Get within 400 miles and get a point. Subtract a point otherwise if you do hazard an incorrect guess. Only for the brave. The average reported road trip distance was 1663 miles. (1263-2063 earns you a point) Any other guess, you need to subtract:banghead: one.

    Please update your points.

    I am going to combine questions 12 and 13. The questions were how old were you when you bought your first Subaru and have you ever been pulled over while driving your Subaru. (for any reason)
    • What do you think the spread is between the youngest and oldest reported Subaru purchasing age? Get within 7 and earn a point.
    • What percentage of our first time buyers that were 40+ at time of purchase have been pulled over in their Subie? Get within 25 and earn a point
    • Overall, I would say this group is a law abiding group. That is, until we get in our cars. Out of the 27 respondents, how many reported NOT getting pulled over, ever, while in their Subie? Get within 2 and earn a point.
    Redemption :angel:point opportunity. This question is open to all, particularly those who might have lost a point the last round on the evil bonus point and want another shot. Here it is. Earn (with a correct answer) or lose (with an incorrect answer) 2 points by answering EITHER:
    1. What is oldest reported age of a first time Subie buyer? Get within 5 and earn 2 points. OR
    2. What is the average age reported when buying their first Subaru? Get within 4 and earn 2 points.
    Game On!

    I think this one is 6. I got mine out on San Jose(2005mi via google maps) and drove it back. When I filled out the questions I didn’t put the milage just the city.

    I remember this. I had enough work to do without looking up mileage. But, I'll give credit and adjust the correct answer range. Thanks for pointing this out. -Rick

    With the 25% handicap, you're essentially hedging part of your guess on the (impossible) outcome of a negative percentage when you guess anything below 25%... Roonmaths...

    Leveling the playing field for the math adverse... While I'm at it, 1 response ~4% (which I thought was closer to 6% until Rick's most recent post). :p

    Questions 12 and 13. The questions were how old were you when you bought your first Subaru and have you ever been pulled over while driving your Subaru. (for any reason)
    • What do you think the spread is between the youngest and oldest reported Subaru purchasing age? Get within 7 and earn a point. We have a spread here of 35 years with @curly2k3 being 16 when he bought his first. Honorable (but no surprise) mention to @Chux for buying his first at 17. I will protect the identity of the oldest first time Subaru buyer here, but they were 51. (28-42 earns a point)
    • What percentage of our first time buyers that were 40+ at time of purchase have been pulled over in their Subie? Get within 25 and earn a point. We have three people who bought their first Subaru when they were 40 or older. Of those three, only one has been pulled over. So that would be ~33%. 8-58 earns a point. Easy point to earn here.
    • Overall, I would say this group is a law abiding group. That is, until we get in our cars. Out of the 27 respondents, how many reported NOT getting pulled over, ever, while in their Subie? Get within 2 and earn a point. Just 5 of us (@klutz, @CornyTumbleweed, @pleiades, @Terry Ammerman, @djhamp) have not been pulled over...yet. 3-7 earns a point. I wonder if the national Subaru average is for ~80% of owners getting pulled over. Unlikely.
    Redemption :angel:point opportunity. This question is open to all, particularly those who might have lost a point the last round on the evil bonus point and want another shot. Here it is. Earn (with a correct answer) or lose (with an incorrect answer) 2 points by answering EITHER:
    1. What is oldest reported age of a first time Subie buyer? Get within 5 and earn 2 points. 51 (46-56 earns a point) OR
    2. What is the average age reported when buying their first Subaru? Get within 4 and earn 2 points. 27.2 years of age. (23-31 earns a point)
    Please update your scoring as we come into the final stretch! (Finally)

    Question 14 is about the longest amount of time you have been "Subaruless" since attaining your license? Hint-the data from the answers above could come in useful here.
    1. How many of our respondents reported never having gone Subaruless since attaining their license? Get within 2 and earn a point.
    2. On the other side of the coin, how many have gone 20 years or more being Subaruless? Get within 2 and earn a point.
    3. How many collective years (if you add them all up) has this group been Subaruless? Get within 30 and earn 2 points.
    Game On!
