  Cheese or Font is hard. I got 92% on Steakhouse or Gay Bar.

    I am mostly vegetarian, and I am not a gay man. I got like 30%.

      Shouldn’t random clicking yield you, like, 50% over a large sample of clicks?
      30% is actually interesting. A reverse predictive power of sorts.

      I’m also vegetarian and not a gay man, and I have not lived in the US for 11 years. Considering that, I did surprisingly well. I can’t believe I missed Fireplace in DC though. I think I’ve been there.

It is really funny how there is so much crossover in naming conventions for steak houses and gay bars!

All the ones I got wrong were in Denver.

Huh? I got 13 out of 15 before the cycle started again. Too much watching food network shows because my mate totally wants to be a chef. Most of the steakhouse names were featured in various shows over the last few years. Plus, some of the gay bars names were, well, kinda gay.

  I think it’s just random, so you get repeats, but there are definitely more than 13.

play for hours? no, i stopped when i was right 9 out of 13 times, or at 69%

As a gay man, who likes steak, I did a little better than 50%. At least my confusion will never result in showing up somewhere I don’t want to be.

This is almost as difficult as playing Porn Star or My Little Pony

Somewhere there’s probably a gay bar called the Steakhouse…

Wow, that is a surprisingly difficult game to play.
