Sheep king/Queen coronation happen every #100 sheep game.. So whoever wins the sheep #100 will be the king or queen of the game until the next sheep coronation and will be added to the Hall of Fame.

Spoiler: Hall Of Fame

Here is a thread to alert you to the start of new Sheep rounds
For anyone who plays this game: please follow this thread to receive warnings when new rounds are starting

Anyone making a round, please post a message to this thread when you do, so all prospective players will know to send a list (if you forget to do so, I will try to remember to do so for you).

This thread is currently just a test, to save on people having to go on mass tagging sprees - if the test is successful, we can keep on using it.
If the test fails (other than being extremely disappointed) then nothing will be lost and we can go back to ignoring it and tagging people like there's no tomorrow.

How did I not notice this earlier...


Congrats @kira you also lost!

 

[Organizized]

You never changed that orange avater

Well I did now. I'd only had it for some months at any rate.. I think..? And I liked it.

But I've entered another Tom Waits phase so I couldn't stop myself..

Actually I'll just go eenie-meenie because Google is too much work.

 

[lakhan220]

What? I missed one sheep...WOW
Well, answered this

 

[kira]

PMed like... idk!

(Genetically Modified) Sheep #22 (the correct answers are bolded and red-colored)
(with insights)​

1. Which is easier to clone?
A. Linear plasmid, with blunt ends
B. Circular plasmid (Battou, Brandish)
C. Linear plasmid, with sticky ends (Atomicus)
D. Depends (lakhan220. Organizized, xi0)
E. Project Alice (kira)
F. Star fish (Raven)

FYI : The fundamental of cloning is to utilize microorganisms (usually prokaryotes/bacteria) by transforming them with recombinant plasmids. Recombinant plasmids are plasmids that already have GOI (gene of interest), or a gene we want to clone. The needs of plasmids depends on the laboratories, researches, budget, GOI, etc. Based on my experience though, linear plasmid with sticky ends is recommended and easier.

2. HER2 is a gene for
A. Enzyme PIK3α (Organizized, Atomicus)
B. A transmembrane protein her2 (Battou, xi0)
C. A transmembrane protein her3 (kira, lakhan220)
D. Something to do with breast cancer iirc (Brandish)
E. Potato (Raven)

FYI : HER2 is a gene in human's body that encodes her2, a transmembrane protein that is involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, movement, etc. A mutated HER2 will result in uncontrollably cell proliferation, thus becoming cancer.

3. Escherichia coli is ....... bacteria
A. Thermophilic (Battou)
B. Hyperthermophilic (lakhan220, Atomicus)
C. Mesophilic (Organizized, xi0)
D. Psychrophilic
Didn't answer (kira)
E. Kinda useful, but also makes you sick (Brandish)
F. Cosmical (Raven)

FYI : Escherichia coli is a bacteria species that dwells human's colon. The optimal temperature for its growth is around 20-37 degrees Celsius, and it's classified as mesophilic bacteria.

4. Glycerol is generally used as
A. Disinfectant (Atomicus)
B. Antifungal
C. Antifreeze/Cryopreservation (Battou, kira, Organizized, Brandish, xi0)
D. Antibacteria
B & D (lakhan220)
E. Bras (Raven)

FYI : Simple alcohol is generally used as disinfectant indeed, and glycerol is a derivative of alcohol, but it's not used as disinfectant. Glycerol is used as antifreeze/cryopreservation, to preserve cells under extreme cold condition, to prevent water molecules from crystallizing. Glycerol is also found abundantly in living cells, serves as "backbone" for a phospholipid molecule.

5. Blue-white screening may use ....... as medium
A. Luria-Bertani (Brandish)
B. Nutrient agar (lakhan220, Organizized, Atomicus)
C. Potato Dextrose Agar (xi0)
D. Nutrient Broth (Battou)
E. Town of Salem (kira)
F. Weed (Raven)

FYI : Blue-white screening usually uses Luria-Bertani as medium, to screen the recombinant cells. Sometimes antibiotic (ampicillin, penicillin, etc) and X-gal are also added.

6. Which is not an amino acid?
A. Phenylalanine
B. Alanine
C. Ribose (Battou, lakhan220, Brandish)
D. Proline (Organizized, xi0)
E. Glutamic acid (Raven, Atomicus)
F. All (kira)

FYI : Ribose is a carbohydrate, which is found abundantly in nucleic acid. It is not an amino acid. It consists of 5 carbon atoms.

7. In Blue-White Screening, which colony is what we want?
A. blue colony (Battou, lakhan220, Organizized)
B white colony (Brandish, xi0, Raven, Atomicus)
C. space colony (kira)

FYI : White colony is the colony we look for if we wish to perform blue-white screening. Due to absence of gene that encodes a sub-unit of a X-gal (the only carbohydrate source) hydrolyzing enzyme, the colony becomes white. To the contrary, blue colony produces the said sub-unit thus being able to hydrolyzing X-gal and becoming blue-colored.

8. Transformation is...
A. An effort to force the host cells to take up the recombinant plasmids (lakhan220, Organizized, Brandish, Atomicus)
B. To lyse the recombinant plasmids
C. A stage that consists of denaturation, annealing, elongation (Battou, xi0)
D. To spread the recombinant cells over the medium
E. Soul Take Over (kira)
F. Pikachu (Raven)

FYI : Transformation is an effort to force the host cells to take up the recombinant plasmids, the plasmids that we want.

Because there are some participants that take this game seriously, so to respect their efforts, I will also do normal scoring (even though this will still be not used for the game)

Total questions: 8
Max score: 100
Score per one correct answer: 12.5
Score per one almost correct answer: 6.25

Battou 37.5
@Brandish 75 (Awesome! Keep it up!)
Atomicus 37.5
xi0 62.5
lakhan220 37.5
Raven 12.5
Organizized 50
kira 12.5

Now time for sheep game scoring..
Battou 19
Brandish 21
Atomicus 19
xi0 21
lakhan220 21
Raven 12
Organizized 24
kira 12

Congratulations @Organizized you won!

Thanks for playing and sorry if there is miscalculation!

 

[xi0]

I only knew that Glycerol is an antifreeze. The rest were random...

 

[Organizized]

I only knew that Glycerol is an antifreeze. The rest were random...

Same here.

Also, what the heck, I won again? I'll try to make a new one sometime soon.

 

[Arjuna]

A Sheep game.No body even tagged me the Emperor himself.Or everybody is afraid because i am the winner in FTB.Next time i am entering.

 

[Raven]

@DiMaria Yesta you changed the game rules.

Right or wrong answer should get the same mark = 1

The most popular answer should get more points.

 

[Kiki]

Look at the bottom lines of my announcement post

 

[Static]

I answered randomly third place in Sheep, good job to myself I guess

 

[Raven]

Look at the bottom lines of my announcement post

Correct answer 12.5
Wrong answer 6.25

From where you get this?

plus the question tbh wasn't fun answering to and doesn't fit in the sheep game. Sheep game is about questions that has multiplied answers based on interests and believes not a science quiz.

Ahmad scored it correctly for fun (didn't count) and then did a sheep score. Here is the result of the sheep

Now time for sheep game scoring..

xi0 21
lakhan220 21
Raven 12
Organizized 24
kira 12

 

[kira]

dagnabbit! I somehow got antifreeze correct! I was aiming for lowest score and thought it can't be antifreeze.

 

[Organizized]

I only knew it because glycerol used to be used as anticoolants in engines before glycol became standard... I think.

 

[Kiki]

Don't participate if it's not interesting You had the rights

Ok sorry if it was uninteresting and shouldn't have been related to sciences. But I can't promise I won't be giving science questions

Anyway, thanks to those who were willing to play my game!

 

[Arjuna]

So who is going to host the next sheep?Please tag me then.

 

[Organizized]

I'll do it today.

Sheep 23 - Moral Dilemma Edition​

Shit just got real (uncomfortable).​

1. 1000 strangers you've never met and will never meet are about to die. You can save them by letting the most important person to you die in their stead, or killing yourself.

A. Let the 1000 strangers die.
B. Save the strangers, let your important person die.
C. Kill yourself.


2. Would you rather be given $10.000 legally or find $100.000 which you know is illegal but can likely not be traced to you?


3. Earlier today, you saw a car run a red light and almost (!) hit a woman and her baby. Now you've encountered what you're 90% sure is the same car. What do you do?

A. Key (scratch) the car.
B. Wait for the driver to come back and yell at him, whether he admits to it or not.
C. Leave an angry note.
D. Do what the The Beatles told you: Let it be.


4. You and everyone you know have been contaminated with a deadly disease. A scientist tells you he has, by lucky mistake and without any records of his research (just go with it), produced a vial containing a cure. Using this, he can create a vaccine so that no one will ever die of the disease again, but in the time that would take, you and everyone close to you would die.

A. Steal the vaccine and save yourself + as many of your friends and family as you can until you run out
B. Accept your fate and let the scientist save x amount of future lives.


5. Your boss has given you a $10.000 bonus. You're allowed to take it all yourself or split it with your four co-workers.

A. Keep it all, they won't find out.
B. Keep half and split the rest between them telling them you got the same amount.
C. Keep half and split the rest between them but tell them you got more.
D. Split it all five ways.


6. You've got an eight year old child. Would you rather let them:

A. Watch a film with lots of sex and nudity
B. Watch a film with lots of gore and violence
C. Watch a film of you beating someone up
D. Watch a documentary with lots of people dying on camera
E. Never watch a single film in their life because dear lawd everything will ruin their poor mind.


7. You just realized your sibling is stealing from parents without them noticing. Upon confrontation, you find out the sibling lost their job, but your parents' finances are also pretty tight. What do you do?

A. Turn the sibling in.
B. Don't turn them in, but force them to return the money.
C. Don't turn them in, let them keep the money but tell them if it happens again you will rat them out.
D. Take the money saying you'll return it, but then keep it for yourself.


8. Your best friend since childhood applied for a job at the firm you work. He knows you are single-handedly in charge of the recruiting. He is qualified for the job and could probably do it well enough, but another applicant is ten times more well-suited for it.
Do you give the position to your friend, or to the other applicant?


9. Would you rather:

A. Get praised for work you didn't do without learning anything.
B. Learn and grow from your work but never get credit for it.


10 (bonus question). Do you think you will be in the upper 50% of this Sheep's results?


Good luck!
