Or they just don't care.

The scoring is...count the number of uses you find for each thing, scoring individually.......
16 or more: Brilliant
11-15: Quite impressive
6-10: Good
Below 5: Low creativity
I'm going to start a new topic on questions.......but its not trivia......Where should I go with them?
