Re: FJ!s for the 11/11/19 week

I got all 10 TOC FJ so I'll say they were too easy for a TOC. Maybe someone has FJ conversion stats for the participating contestants in previous TOCs. 48.28% - 14/29 - 1985 ToC 34.48% - 10/29 - 1986 ToC 57.14% - 16/28 - 1987 ToC 50.00% - 15/30 - 1988 ToC 30.00% - 9/30 - 1989 ToC 36.67% - 11/30 - 1...

Re: LL83: Learned League

I never finished higher than 4th in A. With the new rules qualifying the top three for the championship, I knew there was a chance I had to prepare for a different playing process. So I was very surprised to win A Laurel last season. I don't expect to top the rundle again, but I intend to stay in A.

Sunday helped pin the correct question. It probably matters less now when fewer people watch shows when they actually air. Then you had no choice.

I found 15 mentions of Paderewski in the Archive. His greatest significance, for trivia purposes, is that he was briefly Prime Minister of Poland.

Re: LearnedLeague 76 - Official Thread

No offense, but Diplomacy?!? Part of the beauty of that game is that there is no element of chance since there are no cards or dice. I knew absolutely nothing about the game other than the name and that it exists :) It's a great way for 7 friends to kill a whole day their friendship . You'd probabl...

I watched the Googol/Gogol clue on a television that cut off the "1" after the animation. So I saw zero to the hundredth power, which is zero, so who the heck is Zer?

Could the Nebraska clue have been a last-minute substitution?

If you google George Levick and penguins, you can read about the "bizarre" activities he discovered. I didn't post the link because of the sentivities of a specific board member.

Art Fleming, unlike Alex Trebek, never struck me as someone who might know most of the correct responses before looking at his notes. Back in those days, I thought that Hugh Downs or Steve Allen would've been better hosts. Art Fleming was the host of College Bowl when I played. A former stuntman, h...
