I have a suggestion for a guestimation game. It would be where you would be asked to estimate the answer to a question where the answer is a number. Here is an example of how it would work:
Question: Guess how old Cyndi Lauper is.
Actual answer: 56
If you guessed 48, you would receive 40 points because you would minus the difference between your estimation and the actual answer from your estimation. However, if you guess exactly, you get double the answer. So for this question, you would receive 112 points if you guessed 56.

that's a cool game. i've heard that premium members get a few extra games. i'm j a regular member, and i've played all the games, so it would be cool to have a new one.

the only extra games that premium members currently get are variations on the anagram mania game in the form of anagram extreme, genius edition, time-wasters edition and random edition. also, premiums currently have no betting limit on games like blackjack and can get higher payouts on games like trivia. but there is currently no game for premium members of this description.

just thought i'd clear that up!

I think this game could also be played by standard members as well as premiums.
