It's a trick question because Attilla battled more than one Roman General.

Okay so here is number 2

What famous scientist/inventor tore up a contract that would have made him the world's first billionaire, in part for fear it would bankrupt the company and leave him to deal with the creditors?

And yes Tesla is the correct answer
and cheating is being done on the honor system since it'd be quite illegal for me to actually monitor people for honesty in the matter.

On that note please notate your team to make sure the right one gets their points.

Next question

Since Tesla gave it up, name the world's first Billionaire

Just to clear up confusion; First Billionaire who was given the title of Billionaire.

Am heading for shut-eye now, will check the posted answers when I get up and then will update the scores.

Some time in the 70s the definition of billionaire changed making it 1000x more attainable.
Numbers were getting too long on the ledger pages for the salary calculations at American hedge fund companies.

Status: offline 		So “Attilla battled more than one”,  “Tesla” & “Carnegie” are correct?   Is it 0/3, slave’s favor?   Or does BitaTrouble’s answer credit against her account which is a Dom/sub couple and it is split 0.5/2.5 . . . or the switch rule applies and she can asign the point to eiether side?  Does YourMistress count as Domme and it is 2/1 Doms favor?

Status: offline 		Alright going to clear up the score now

Correct answer is 2 points
An answer that is technically correct but prempts the sought answer (that is one that is technically correct but is not the answer being sought due to some specific is a 3 pointer for the sake of expaning knowledge)

Celtic Lord scores the First 2 points, as technically yes Attilla did fight more than one Roman General, only one is famous for it.

Gimpindenial hits a three pointer as his answer is technically correct, and preempts the sought answer.  Crassus was estimated to possess 200+ Billion while alive.

Cannot give Madaxeman points as he did not settle on a single person.

Sorry Beargonewild, however Hearst himself never cracked the billion dollar mark, his billionaire status represents wealth adjusted for modern value.

If you wish to contest an answer please provide a link.


DCnovice scores two points for the subs with John. D. Rockerfeller.  (As we are countng actual dollars at the time, and not adjusted value)

Forgot to include Tesla question in original talley

Dominants: 2
subs: 7

Deleted Question sucked
