- Premise of game:
1.1 I am in the process of going through some old recorded video tapes from present day back till about the mid 80’s.
1.2 I am going to submit a slogan or phrase from a TV commercial to the Games/Trivia Forum on http://www.chiefdelphi.com from present day back till about the mid 80’s in the below mentioned categories.
1.3 Questions will be submitted at random times for now.
1.4 One question per day will be released until it is answered, and then the next question will be released soon after.
1.4 The first person to guess the source of the phrase is the winner.
- Categories.

3.2 There will be a total of three hints per question given.
3.3 The first hint will be one of the above categories.
3.4 The second and third hints will be more focused clues.
3.5 After 7 days, the answer will be provided and that question no longer used in future games.
- Scoring:
4.1 All questions will start off having a points value of 100 points.
If answered at this point, the winning answerer will receive 100 points.

4.4 After the third hint is given, the question will then be worth 70 points

4.5 After 7 days the answer will be given and then the question will be worth 0 points and that game declared over.
4.6 Random Bonus points will be given for certain questions and will be announced before the question is given. – Bonus points are to be random, and their point values are random as well.
But, to give you an example, I will give a bonus point for the 237’th question I pose, for an obvious reason.
