Inconceivable!

Inconceivable! is a show that tests panelists’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. Each episode, two teams will face off to answer diabolical questions about TV shows, comics, movies, books, games, and more.  

Hosted by Dan Moren, with scorekeeper Lex Friedman. (Jason Snell (6), Tony Sindelar (1), and Glenn Fleishman (1) have also served as stand-in scorekeepers.)

Gameplay

The game is played in five rounds. Rounds 1, 3, and 5 are each comprised of six questions, worth a maximum of 10 points, directed to each panelist. Rounds 2 and 4 are the "Fake Off" (no, you fake off) bluffing rounds in which one team has to figure out which panelist on the other team has the correct answer; they wager a certain number of points that they can win or lose based on whether or not the answer is correct.

Fractional Points

Fractional points were used in "There Are No Hamburgers in the Phantom Zone", but it made a lot of people angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
