Re: I know we've got a few folks on here from Baltimore
Thanks for the concern. I actually moved to Connecticut for work in January, although my wife is still down there and I've come back most weekends since then, but we're fully moving her up this upcoming weekend. (That was always the plan, it's not due to the events of the past week.) We're in the Ca...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
As a huge geography nerd going back to before many of the questions in the quiz, I really enjoyed the retro geography one, resulting in my best-ever One Day finish and a tie with PerryS (down to the same moneys), a personal point of pride. Congrats! I thought it was a great quiz too... If only I ha...

I think 41ish for me. was the orange a clementine? tangers, tangerine The answer they were looking for was "Tangiers," not "tangerine," right? If so, and forensic and mutation were the vocab words they were looking for, I think that should get me to 35. Which should make up for ...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
Is there a list of all the scores, or can someone at least say how many there are, to make figuring it out easier? (Being in D Ribdle, figuring out the correct answer to things is obviously not my strong suit) By my count there are 26 possible scores, 1 each for 0 or 6 right, 4 for 1 or 5 right, 5 ...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
"19Q4" cost me the tie yesterday… and now I'm tied for 5th-7th in Frontier B (with MeyerMM) with 6 spots moving up. The play-on-words aspect of that title is lost in translation, but it really works quite well in Japanese where "Q" and "9" are homophones, both pronounc...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
I ruled out Kuwait because it seemed like too small a country to border a 4,400 square mile neutral zone. I figured Iraq must be one of the countries, but I guessed Iran for the other. My first instinct here was the right answer, but I overthought it, decided Iraq and Saudi Arabia didn't need a neu...

Re: TD 234: π Day [TD now open!]
An incorrect answer will get you a successive power of π: the first incorrect answer is worth π^1 points, the second incorrect answer is worth π^2 points, the third incorrect answer is worth π^3 points, etc. Are these wrong answer penalties added to the sheep score, or are they just your straight-u...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
I go to bed thinking 'I got five right, I'm in D, I got this'. I wake up to discover I lost 7(5)-6(5). That's a score from A or B, not D. And of course almost all the rundle leaders won, leaving me three points off the promotion zone instead of the previous one point. Sigh. And who am I facing toda...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
I was very surprised that the stock market question was as much of a get as it was - granted it was 37% League-wide, but that's more than I thought, especially since several people here seemed to get it. I figured no one really tracked the markets that much, so that was an easy 3. Turned out, not o...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
That the original play was in English was a huge hint for butterfly and against boheme. Otherwise, yes, I don't know how one would decide without knowing exact years. I decided by only knowing Madame Butterfly-->Miss Saigon. Had no idea on the La Boheme-->Rent connection. My initial answer was Aida...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
I only had 1 that I was 100% sure of prior to submission (species), and it took me quite a bit of thinking to get even that one. I'm just glad they didn't ask for the "D", because I didn't even know that existed. Same here. I knew all the rest, but had never seen "domain" (or &q...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
Speaking of that question, is art really a "genre?" Yeah, that irked me, especially since Thorsten is usually very careful and precise with wording. I had decided that the only non-musical genre (had to be non-pop-music question given Van Halen next to it) that could have three reasonably...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
Are those art magazines particularly well-known? I had never heard of any of them. Speaking of that question, is art really a "genre?" That led me more to music/film/television, and the antagonizingly close answer of "alt." Paired with my other so close answer of "reflexor&...

Re: LL64: For the LLamas Among Us
I'm 0-0-1 so far against boardies. LOST happens to be one of my favorite TV shows of all time, so clearly that was probably going to be the only one I got right. Wasn't sure for the war one if it was the Civil War (hence why I said United States), or earlier than that. So I guess you missed the par...
