I got bit yesterday by making assumptions based on the sex of my opponent. I assigned the beer question 3 and paisley 0. She got wort and missed paisley and I ended up with a 9(6)-9(5) tie and spoiling my first six-pack of the season. :( I was baffled that anyone would not put the 0 on Annie, yet s...

I did well on the midseason one day and came in 51st with 450 points. I only missed the video game question. I had Lebanon down first, too, until rereading it and "civilian" jumped out at me. I was happy to help Team Horizon by being the top finisher in the B Rundle. I seriously considered moneying...

My opponents (public and private) mistakenly thought that my Canadian location meant that I would not whiff the Canadian geography question. Unfortunately, those 0 assignments still didn't help me win either match. It seems I had the honor of facing the family member who did not whiff on the Canadi...

I answered with Limoncello, not thinking hard enough about the specific flavor of the liqueur.

I might be on my way to making weird LL history. After eight matches, my record is 1 win, 1 loss, and 6 ties--including a 9(6)-9(6) tie.

I'm just the opposite. I have an active streak of 45 consecutive matches without a tie.

Accepting "qi" has got to be one of the worst calls I've seen.

Agree. There was no ambiguity in that question. I know it's difficult to consistently and fairly score every question singlehandedly for thousands of participants, but that ruling was a stinker,

Ohio State used to be in the CCHA with Lake Superior St. and Michigan Tech. I'm glad that there were enough people who knew about these two colleges to keep it from being in the single digits. Michigan alum here. The Wolverines also used to be in the CCHA. And the annual Great Lakes Invitational ho...

cmp146, I love you so much for giving me a free point on the topic of universities in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

A player introduced as having nine trivia trophies got out on the $5,000 question today. Curly leaf and Italian (a.k.a. flat leaf) are two main varieties of what herb used to garnish dishes? A. Parsley B. Cilantro C. Chives D. Basil I mean...they told you it's used as a garnish. You shouldn't overt...

I am planning to attend for the first time this year. It would be awesome to see some Boardies in real life!

Who else put Pac-12 for Q2 of the midseason classic? I went with the Big Ten because the final lyric in the University of Michigan's fight song is the "Champions of the West". Therefore, it made sense to me that they were "The West" back in those years referenced in the question. I also correctly d...

40/45/43 for me. I took it for real on Tuesday since that was the only night of the three that I was completely sober.

*Minor* tweak, but the upcoming season for #23 will be the 8th.

Thanks for putting this together. It hits so many high notes from recent pop culture and current events.

Congratulations, Keith. I loved the way you played. Sorry that it didn't result in an even bigger payday for you.

I'm back for another season in A Horizon. The beatings will continue...

Best of luck Blue Lion! See you on Tuesday.

We are currently at an odd number for the "Rundle in the Jundle" Private Rundle, if anyone wants to still join! We are still at an odd number. Here I am once again, at the last minute, joining the private rundle. If anybody else wanted to get in but thought it was too late, it's not! Go ahead and s...

Is it just me, or is it possible that John has a brother named James who has appeared on The Chase and 500
Questions? He sure looks and smiles the same way.

They also had a question asking you to identify in which country you can see the Northern Lights. The “correct” choice was the U.S. but the other choices were the U.K. and Mexico. So, pretty much three right answers on that question.

Did the Queen Elizabeth question put "II" at the end of her name? I didn't notice a problem with the question and got it right (then got out on the Halle Berry fiasco), but I saw someone in the chat complaining that the choices of George VI and Henry VIII were fathers of a Queen Elizabeth. Of cours...

Thanks for posting this. I binged the whole thing today! I wasn't aware of its existence. It was fun to see all those classic contestants again. And so many of them looking so young.
