We don't get to see who actually got each FJ correct?

I've been procrastinating. A lot. It's just been that sort of month.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Re: FJs for the 4/17/17 week
I was busy Thursday so I didn't get a chance to take part in the thread. Playing it at home and missing it, I was pissed off because Melissa McCarthy is quite famous, thus I was sure it would poll in the 50% range. Coming here now and seeing that thread and the 4% is very reassuring
Anyone know what the final poll numbers were for liederkranz?

And she did it without the benefit of extinction (Liederkranz was supposedly revived in the wake of that FJ, but the red underline belies those reports).
I'm smart and I want respect.

Re: FJs for the 4/17/17 week
Thanks. And, yikes, that's worse than I remember.
McCarthy isn't quite there yet, but if you still were still running toughest FJ polls, it would still probably win in a rout.

Re: FJs for the 4/17/17 week
Colleges aren't a strong subject for me. And I said Amy Adams, justifying it with her performance in La La Land (which, of course, starred Emma Stone, not Amy Adams).
I confused As You Like It with Twelfth Night.

With 106 respondents, Mark Barrett clearly wins the over/under on the J'Accuse clue. (He said over 62.5% would get it, I said under.) This is Kirk hit it pretty close to on the nose with his prediction of 75%. It's currently at 72%.
Meanwhile, the incorrect Amy Adams is out-polling the correct Melissa McCarthy 44 votes to 5.

I see that currently five people got Melissa McCarthy correct. I only recall seeing one person in the game thread declaring a correct response. Will the others please come forward and accept your congratulations?

Or at least could this board be fixed so that we can again see the identities of people who check each poll box?This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2017 10:21 amYes, I'll take credit for an accurate prediction!opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2017 10:08 am With 106 respondents, Mark Barrett clearly wins the over/under on the J'Accuse clue.

Re: FJs for the 4/17/17 week
It wasn't a good FJ week for me. I blanked on Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Perhaps I can blame it on living in Canada too long. Despite the fact that I make my living as a historian, my brain refuses to memorize dates, court-cases, or legislation. (16th century theological tracts on the other hand...!)

Amy Adams. Sherman Antitrust... Pavlov core stuff. Not a lawyer. Not a Navy man either. But get periscope!

Re: FJs for the 4/17/17 week
I should have known Calhoun, though I doubt I would have remembered Clemson anyway...
probably should have known the Sinatra clue by the lyrics...
I wish the McCarthy clue had had some more TOM...
I knew Nureyev was too old to fit the clue...

Re: FJs for the 4/17/17 week
Did not associate Calhoun with SC--probably something I should know. I figured Vanderbilt was wrong but I didn't have anything better.
No law degree, did get Wednesday.
Didn't get very far on Thursday. Amy Adams should have been my incorrect guess, but I didn't think of her--best I could come up with was Susan Sarandon but I knew that couldn't be right.
Pretty sure I got Baryshnikov at the time.
