I haven’t watched the show, but it seems to me that the numbers given up thread don’t add up. If Jonathan earned $2000 on his only DD, he earned at least as much as the clue is worth at face value, so his pre-FJ score should be at least as high as his Coryat. However, the recap shows him as having a...

Hoping I didn't renew my registration too late....got it in this morning, but it says my status is "provisional (rookie)." Anybody else ever have their stuff expire the day before registration is due? Were you able to get in that season, or no? Worried for nothing. Back in C Prairie 2 with at least...

From what I can see we should have a pretty competitive bunch, mostly grouped in the 100-120 tca range, with a few consistently above that number like bomtr and teapot37. I was one of many leaguewide who set a career high in tca last season, hoping the regression to the mean is a gentle one! Same. ...

ATB, college

I played FJ! at 5:30 AM off the Clue of the Day on little sleep, misread it badly, and guessed Balaclava. Not that I would have (a) necessarily included the second syllable had I written my incorrect response out (because I sometimes confuse it with a Middle Eastern dessert) or (b) necessarily gotte...

I’m currently sporting a 179 (no, not a typo) QvH. I can absolutely relate to all the posts about regression from last season.

The SSA's list of the most common first names for babies born in the United States in 2017 just came out last Friday! The below infographic is presented without comment except to say that it is my own original work but the concept was stolen from a similar infographic in this highly entertaining art...

On Q12 in exobiology, I knew what they were talking about, but didn’t know whether they were looking for “bilayer” or “cell membrane,” so put “bilayer membrane” or something. Wasn’t accepted, and cost me 27 percentiles.

Yesterday, I was super frustrated. I had, over the previous eleven matches, gotten only one fewer question correct than my opponents, but still gone 2-6-3 with some tough defensive breaks. Over the previous eight matches, I had dropped from 16th to 22nd, having been passed by six people. Of those si...

Each of the past two days I have gotten three right- respectable for two reasonably tough days while in D Rundle, yet have fallen four places in the standings into the relegation zone largely because of bad defense. Yesterday, I knew that the volleyball question was likely one of the tougher ones, y...

Yesterday I spent a decent amount of time trying to figure out what letters "273-8255" represented. I got "TALK" pretty quickly, but the 273 bewildered me (Primates? (APE) Computer Science/Engineering? (CSE)).

Turns out it's because it doesn't stand for anything.

I just missed promotion to Continental A last season, but ultimately didn't make it. Now I find myself bumped up to Taiga A, which is weird One of my other referrals asked if we could move to Taiga, so I asked Thorsten if my branch (I have my own branch! That's so weird) could move there. Welcome t...

How in Sam Hill (get it?) was Kaepernick not an MCW?

I didn't know Q1, but I had seen some sort of J! or LL question at some point connecting the Rubicon to Julius Caesar, and a vague memory of it was enough for the get. I didn't know Q4, and know nothing about French grammar, but I had a vague memory of seeing the correct answer while playing the Int...

My dad has won his last two matches 6(3)-5(3) and 7(3)-6(4), the latter against the previous rundle leader. Hooray for poor rookie defense!

I feel robbed because "Afternoon of the Faun" was not an MCW.

I thought I was going to go 0/6 when I saw the questions. I don't care one bit about jewelry, so I had no clue on Q2, but, I had a vague memory of hearing about a three-word substance called "mother of (something)" that sounded sort of like the question, but, probably not. So I put "mother of" down....

I'm BentleyG. In Prairie E2 this season.

I invited my dad to join, and he is in Prairie R.
