Hi everybody! This Forum Game is based in the series "House MD".
It works like that: I tell the symptoms and the users try to find out what disease is. They may look on other sites to find out. As House's diagnosis are too complicated, the diseases here will be easier. Each user have 3 guesses. Let's begin...
Patient: 30-year-old female.
Symptoms: Severe headache, nasal congestion, toothache and lacrimation (she is tearing for no apparent reason). Facial X-Ray is showing an anomaly.
Can you discover what it is? Tip: is a common condition caused by inflamation of the facial bones.
UPDATE: Difficulty now ranges from 0 to 100 Correct diagnose on the first guess grants an extra 30 pts.
NEW CONDITION!

He is falling apart!
Difficulty: 90/100
Tips: --> This condition is genetic and has a high number of wrong diagnoses.
RMIs showed no signs of cancer. _____________________________________________________________________ Need more tips? _____________________________________________________________________ RANKING:
1st: MrStuff with 225pts 2nd: Maverick4 with 220pts 3rd: Hypermnestra with 25pts
NEW ADDITION:
3 of the guesses will reward the player with points. The 4th will cost 10pts and the 5th will be free, but the right diagnose will grant 60pts only. _____________________________________________________________________ @Maverick4 That's one two of three guesses that make points. Try again.

.
The bolded section refers to right diagnoses while using the 5th guess.
Just to explain:
1st Guess = +10pts and +100pts for right diagnose (+30pts bonus for being correct on the first guess) 2nd Guess = +10pts and +100pts for the right diagnose. 3rd guess = +10 pts and +100pts for the right diagnose. 4th guess = -10pts and +100pts for the right diagnose. 5th guess = +0pts and +60pts for the right diagnose.
After the 5th guess all guesses will follow the 5th's rule.
