Blows my mind what some people can come up with when they are under the lights. I live in Central PA and a little over a month ago a super-load transport came through here. It’s neat, here is a summary. https://www.northcentralpa.com/news/super-load-moving-at-mph-across-nine-pa-counties-toward/artic...

I got FJ right, but I just like the name.

This really should be a tournament, though, of at least 15 players. Roger Craig oughta be involved, as well as Emma, Buzzy, Alex Jacob, and others. I'd put in David Madden and Larissa Kelly as well, especially since they were a part of the winning team in All-Stars. I disagree; there have been enou...

Hump day ... the squirrels ... the caveman in the airport ... the opossum ... some of them are really clever. Handful of years ago, when my daughter was in 4th or 5th grade, she loved going around on Wednesdays saying "Today is humpday" trying to sound like that commerical to about anyone that woul...

Took about two weeks for me. I got a call last Thursday and skyped Tuesday and Wednesday. Told me the shooting schedule after the second skype and asked if all the dates were free (i said yes) and told me id know if they wanted me in the next two weeks. If i dont get an Email by the last week of Ju...

43, after getting a 34 one the legit one I took last night. Go figure

Looks like 34, and I don't think I've been that low in years.

Good Grief, I butchered that. I'm normally close 40, but I don't think so.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGuchP0jXgY&index=1&list=PL1C88D1BD0B216D9B I'm sure many of you remember this from its original airing in the fall of 2007. All rounds are included in this youtube series. Maybe Leszek can comment on how intense this was to compete in. Personally, rounds one and two,...

Not a Crash Course, but if someone wants to learn a lot about Physics, Dr Richard Muller's class, "Physics for Future Presidents" from Cal Berkeley is on line. He teaches the class without emphasis on equations and calculus. I remember reading that the class was one of the most popular general coars...

5) Number and name required. Name a PRIME NUMBER, and the U.S. PRESIDENT associated with that number in the chronological order of U.S. Presidents as of the time of this game (wrong answers in the expected format might include “1, Washington,” since 1 is not a prime number, or “16, Obama,” because ...

By the way, please add me to the list of people who couldn't play "Wheel" to save my life. Kara, I could play the game, I would just be utterly horrible at it. This thread forced me to watch a game of wheel of fortune for the first time, in maybe, 30 years, and all I can say is, "TPH you are now co...

Who’s the only first seed to not advance to the semis?

In 27 ToC's its happened three times. 24/27, gives you the 88.9%

Mehrun Etebari(2007)
Doug Lach(2001)
David Sampugnaro(1996)

Your post got me wondering, about last player in versus the college champ. Over the last week, I went through the Jarchive. I compared all tourney winners to the top three winners coming into the ToC (I used wins first, followed by money amounts to determine order). This includes the people in this ...

I was just throwing that out there for $hits and giggles. They aren't changing anything. I do believe the 13th, 14th biggest money winner is probably a stronger player than winners of the teachers or college tourny in most years. You mention Sterlacci (who I in this thread said, is probably the favo...

I think Lilly Chin is a really good player coming out of the college tourny, and she might get into the semi's, but she was a little overmatched even in her quarterfinal. I don't think we were watching the same game on Tuesday. Players scores as a percentage of the total coryat in Tuesdays game Jas...

I wonder, might that correlate more closely with a reduction in "trash" trivia for the teachers? That is to say, it might not be a reduction in difficulty overall, but a shift toward questions that are less esoteric / pop-cultured / etc. and more suited to a particular subset of players that includ...

Does the inclusion of so many tournament(College and Teachers) winners "water down" the competition for you? If you are trying to get the best players, I have a bit of a problem with the college champ. I know that a college guy won it years ago, but I've yet to see a college champ go past the semis...

The teachers winners get a bad rep, and maybe its deserved. The Powers that be normally ease up on the questions a bit during those tournaments Cite? I know this “statistic” has been bandied about on here several times, but from personal experience, I find my Coryats and get rates are closer to reg...
