Could you explain the "Position" column please?

Between the title track and "Life in the Fast Lane", HC seemed like a no-brainer to me. But then, the album was released during my formative years.

Can someone research the get rate for tie-breaker clues? I've only seen a handful but my recollection is that they have all been fairly easy and they reduce to a buzzer speed competition.

Add me to the NHOI club for FJ (and I can name some fairly obscure book awards)

Ironically got FJ because I precalled the correct city, despite totally mis-parsing the clue. My brain thought the 50th anniversary pinned a date to 1592. Derp!

FJ: Sirens, just to have something.

Jerry, but aware of jury and wondered which was the "correct" response. Anagrams: I am great at wordplay but consistently get my butt kicked by contestants ringing in before I formulate a response. Today I finally figured out a technique that works for me: ignore all the verbiage in the clue and imm...

I was completely unaware of this thread or how the board is funded, and I assume there are other people similarly unaware. Can we make it a sticky?

I'm curious if you would've accepted "Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse" as an acceptable response for Q5. I was tempted but realized I did not have a strong argument to back me up. Is there an "official" list of MCU films?

I, too, got hung up on Micronesia. I spent way too many of the 30 seconds wondering if I was misspelling it somehow. Then I flailed around with some of the other guesses mentioned: Greenland, Oceania, Antartica etc. none of which satisfied. I could've done without the Africa comparison but don't thi...

Edit to standings coming this afternoon - just discovered a form that was submitted before I began the reveal, so will adjust previous posts accordingly.

Thanks! I was going to say something but after I saw Q2 revealed and realized my mistake I thought I was probably better off on the sidelines.

Refreshing chemistry among the contestants. They were loose and seemed to be having fun. "It's the Mexican name for the Rio Grande." Wait, isn't "Rio Grande" already a Spanish term? Why would they call it something else when it already HAS a Spanish name?! Same here - thought they were trying to be ...

Wow is it frustrating knowing and picturing the correct answer in your brain, only to draw a blank on the object’s actual name. Got that right! The wheels just could not turn fast enough to give me the name.. really mad at myself for botching this one. Yep, same here. I thought the clue was a littl...

Any time a player hits a DD and says "I've always wanted to say this Alex..." a trap door opens under their feet.

I too wandered through the Barrymore clan for a short while before rejecting it. It seemed obvious that the noms had to be for some sort of supporting activity, which led me to composers which led me to Newman. But I kept hemming and hawing and exploring other possibilities and never actually commit...

I don't think Nate had enough information to elevate James to the "one of the best ever" category. There is no question whatsoever that it's time to break out the nuclear "what if I end up playing against the next Ken Jennings?" strategy that every player should have spent a few minutes thinking ab...
