• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 59 Cup final

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 13 19:42:41 2024
    What to do
    -----------

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
    remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the X
    on its side.

    *Home*
    - Before Wednesday 2024-10-16, 23:59 GMT
    - Pick one team from each of the two matches.

    *Away*
    - After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked his
    teams) and before kickoff of the first match
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn't
    picked any team, you have free choice)
    - Their opponents will represent your opponent

    *ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before
    his/her deadline, the home player will be represented by the team that
    achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
    If the home player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away
    player can pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be
    represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her
    two picked teams.. If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned
    randomly.)"

    OK, I'm genuinely baffled. Even after consulting Google, I still haven’t found the history, geography, or whatever lesson that your usual picks typically impart to me. I have no idea which team you’re referring to. Heidenheim’s backup goalkeeper is named Vitus (Eicher), but I don’t
    think that’s what you meant. Nor do I believe this is a trick to let the impartial gamemaster interpret it in a way that benefits you—it’s a bit too obvious for your style...

    Oh come on! It's so obvious what Jesper's pick is! Do I really need to
    tell you?

    OK, I'm just adding fodder to Futbolmetrix' banter folder, but this is
    too funny*. Here is what happened:
    1. I tried to out-jesper Jesper with a cryptic pick.
    2. Jesper was unfazed: he understood my pick, and did his thing.
    3. In order to understand what Jesper meant, I first narrowed it down to
    two options: the two teams I had not picked. So, I interpreted my own
    pick and... I failed. I thought I had picked Brighton and Borussia, so I couldn't understand the reference to Vitus Town.

    TL;DR: I tried to trick Jesper; I ended up tricking myself.

    * For an adequate definition of "funny".

    Thank God for small favours.
