Re: Dear GDC,

In the ideal sense, the OP has a great idea. The questions would be asked during the little segment they do that's like 'who wants to be a millionaire'.

I think that the rules should state the intent of a section of the rules in addition to the technical wording they do. That would remove some ambiguity. They did this with the 'build schedule' section, so perhaps in future years (because we all understand things take time) they could do this to other sections. Stating the intent during the little gameshow at kickoff would also immediately remove preconceived notions that are not the intent of the game's design.

(I personally think they should have had a question ... 'can we use duct tape this year?' ... that would have perked up a LOT of ears and would have had alot of funny possible answers to boot!)
