Nerd Sniping

A fun but slightly cruel game.


Nerd sniping is a term invented by Randall Munroe in his webcomic xkcd. To nerd snipe, just find someone nerdy who is busy performing some kind of task. Ask them a nerdy question, and start counting silently. You get one point for every five seconds the nerd stops what they are doing to answer your question.


Random person = 1 point

Physicists = 2 points

Star Wars nerds = 2 points

LotR nerds = 2 points, +1 second

Mathematicians = 3 points

Biologists = doubled seconds

Geologists = doubled points

Astronomers = squared points


And please don't get anyone run over by a truck. Especially not me.
