¿Question #1505?
Blackwind: How many gamegeeks does it take to change a lightbulb?

Jrtolf: 42.
StormKnight: 4; one to grab first player while the second geek takes the action. The other two are busy arguing about the rules.
Jedadeana: Lightbulb? I thought we all just hid in a dark basement, basking in the warm welcoming glow of our computer monitors
Hector Vortac: Damn. I want to know but doubt you will come back to post the answer.
Phil Fleischmann: Two: one to replace the bulb, and the other to declare the old one a true classic and say the only reason anyone prefers the new one is because they're in the Cult of the New.
vandemonium: Change it? Let's fix it!
Cringing Dragon: What lightbulb?
Neli42: Only one, but it has to be her turn.
David Ells: Depends on whether I make my saving throw ...
Jatoha: Oh I remember a really long thread on this topic, that was fun.
Felimid: Six (if you have the 5/6 play expansion set). One to hold the lightbulb. The other five to play 5-play Settlers of Catan.
shumby: the number approaches infinity ... the real question is who's mom will get it while making snide comments about how lazy they are and how they are going to go blind for playing games in the near-dark.
hob69: I don't know. How many gamegeeks does it take to change a lightbulb?
Vitriool: it depends on how big the house is...
Septic: 1
sludgemariner: what's a light bulb?
The Unbeliever: 42
Narlgoth: Just one, but you need to stop him from playing games first.
TheKeck: One
Asmoridin: 0- geeks play in the dark!
Butterbane: Six. One to read the rules. One to roll the die (to see if the light bulb has a high probability of needing changing), and four to argue that one does not need a light bulb when one has a computer monitor.
carl67lp: 42
yoacusna: 3i
jcarvin: 2-4 players, 30 minutes form start to finish NOT including rules explanation. Newbies are always shocked by these numbers.

FrozenHoHos: With natural light present: zero (too busy playing games). Otherwise, the player that most resembles a light bulb gets the honor.

brainrob: d20
Beowulf: If it's a quarter moon or fuller, none. Gamegeeks can be nocturnal. If less than a quarter moon, roll 1d10.
korppu: 1
confuse_a_cat: It would depend on a lot of factors. How far off of the ground is the bulb, how tall are the geeks, is their a Power Grid nearby, does the same person own both the Water Works and the Electric Company, etc.
tranzducer: 1 to change it, 6 to play a game of Puerto Rico as soon as the lights are back on.

Sceadeau: 2-4, 30 minutes, light strategy
puffinge: 8
Lord_Prussian: 3-5, but with 3 there's not enough interaction, and with 5 it takes too long, so it's really best if there are 4
snoozefest: 0
2amp: 4: 1 to change, 1 rules lawyer, 2 to kibitz
Jern: 1
skrutsch: 54. 53 to complain and Aldie to change it!
ValJor: Does it come with a rulebook? If so, I don't think it would get changed at all...
jpact: 1.
GuyHill: 1
walk_softly: 3. One to change the bulb, one to read the rules, and one to give strategy tips
djlg: Best with 3 players only.
darthcliff: First you'd have to convince them that it was an abstract german game where you trade wooden chits with the other players and play cards that dictate your actions and the lightbulb injects an unacceptable level of chance into the game.
kennyb: D6
gnomehome: Do the geeks in question check the other questions first ?
