The get rate of tiebreakers isn't going to be found on the Archive because the show will edit out any double stumpers and only show whichever question garners a correct answer.

Not just because Roey's from Arlington (where I live), but I LOATHE this tiebreaker rule. What's the point of it? It's also stupid that the loser in this case only got 2000 instead of nearly 20k :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: I suspect most people would rather see a sole wi...

For all the mentions of Nancy Zerg, does anybody seriously think the show would have brought back Emma had she won one game? I think the timing of the cutoff has most to do to avoid a situation where Rachel and Emma are the only female contestants (as Ryan B. and Sam would have knocked Lindsay and A...

Do you have any data on anybody not betting it all from second in this scenario? It blows my mind that anybody would do that. I would guess the wrong bet happens more often than the correct bet (but I'm not going to go hunting for examples). Granted that people make bad bets all the time, but surel...

Here's my off the cuff, not at all accurate sortings (not intended to be ranked within each tier):

Gold - James, Josh, Eric, Kyle, Anneke

Silver - Emma, Francois, Lindsay, Rob, Gilbert

Bronze - Rachel, Dhruv, Alan, Ryan, Steven

Welp, there goes Roey. I think he should have bet for the win, but I guess he didn’t like the category. No guess on final. Didn’t know there was a second Adolf, and even if I did, I would have thought 1962 was too late. He was the main organizer of the Holocaust. He escaped to South America after W...

This game reminded me of the local game show mentioned in my sig line (a two player version, filmed in Lawrence, Kansas in 2008), because the game that filmed after mine had this wagering scenario. The player with exactly twice his opponent also chose to bet 0 in this scenario, but this time it work...

I went with Daniel Defoe, knowing he was probably a few decades too late.

Surprised This Machine Kills Fascists was a TS.

My mom was a fan of The Lottery, and I read it in high school for fun when noticing it was in the short story anthology we were read something out of, so I did get this one.

However, as anyone who reads this thread can grasp, any such criticism is simply not applicable in the present instance, because at most Emma could have bumped one person, and that person will get a ToC berth. How can you be sure? Just because they're eligible for the next ToC doesn't guarantee the...

10. Animals (named) Provide the name of one of these famous animals. Stray mutt found on the streets of Moscow, became the first dog to orbit the Earth. Laika Pet cat of Bill Clinton, who was rehomed after Clinton left the White House. Socks Cat who lives in a Rhode Island nursing home, and has com...

Woodstock on Monday

I think what's been rubbing me the wrong way about this whole discussion is that comments seem to operate under the assumption that various parties aren't here, which there is no evidence for. Not that there's necessarily evidence for the opposite, but this isn't like an MLB forum where you wouldn'...

"War of Northern Aggression" and "The Cherry Orchard" were NHOIs in the top box for me.

I envy you on the former, as a northerner transplanted into the South.

WORD ORIGINS again? This month. Booo! Not going to happen for me in 30 seconds as like anagrams I'm plain not very good at it. The closest I got was seeing "boots" in the clue and trying to think of something with "foot" for a word. Right idea though I needed to get closer to a synonym for "boots" ...

I guessed Murphy Brown but no way I would have gone that route had I thought of Roseanne. Roseanne would certainly be pretty strong negbait especially if you're too young to really remember the original runs of either Roseanne or Murphy Brown. There wasn't anything overtly political that I can reca...

7. Name a US city with a population of at least 100,000 that borders a city in another state or district by land or water. This, along with the next question, garnered the majority of the drops. Music and Geography are far and away my favorite topics, but I do take this sort of feedback into consid...
