TD 366 - FOOD & DRINK - FINAL STANDINGS

[Peter the accountant]

Hey, first singleton (and latest I've ever been in the lead, lol), and it only required a question with like...30,000 possible answers.

And with 30,000 possible answers, I manage to find the sheep! Naturally.

[ElendilPickle]

Really surprised Hamilton or Les Mis wasn't sheep. I avoided those because I thought they'd be the obvious choices.

I thought Hamilton might sheep, but I love it so much that I was willing to take the risk.

BONUS #1
In the song A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd, Mrs. Lovett and her partner in crime weigh the pros and cons of making pies with the flesh of men of various professions – you know, with the price of meat what is, when you get it, if you get it…
Name any one of the professions, vocations, titles or trades mentioned in the song - besides priest and the two referenced in question #2. If you have no idea, just take a guess - there are roughly 30 professions named in the song:

Magna

Am I looking at a different version of the lyrics? The one I have has potter mentioned (rhyming with "hotter").

ETA: It looks like I got credit for this as a singleton, so I'm guessing it was just listed in the wrong place.

Fixed it. No change to standings as you noted

For those of you who are familiar with vermonter's TD tracking tool, what's the best way to account for bonus questions? I mark everyone wrong, then change the wrong answer penalty to zero, then I use the adjustment column to assign the bonus points. So when you look at the scores, everyone got zero for that question and then the bonus points were applied. I don't recall seeing this covered in the instructions.

Eggplant is a fruit, not a squash

Ummm? How is eggplant not a squash? What are you defining as a squash?

Ummm? How is eggplant not a squash? What are you defining as a squash?

Squashes are fruit, too, but squash are genus Cucurbita and typically are vines producing fruit with a tough outer skin (zucchini being the exception). They are also all native to the Americas. Eggplant is genus Solanum and a member of the solanaceae (Nightshade family), along with potato and tomato. They usually grow on upright plants and have thin skins. They are also native to the Americas, mostly S. America.

Thanks for this explanation. I looked up eggplant and couldn't find any mention of it as a squash

[Ironhorse]

I literally couldn't think of any type of squash other than butternut, so I assumed it would be a massive sheep.

[SenseiCAY]

Bugger - my first sheep of this game.

I wanted to put down "the sport" for a type of squash, but apparently that wasn't allowed

Nope. Not with the TD theme and the category Farmer’s Market. I totally appreciate the impulse to think different, but we have to agree on certain parameters!

[Lefty]

Wherever he is.

Yay singleton! Also I didn't know pawpaw was a squash...

[Peter the accountant]

After flirting with the top 10 in the last two TDs, I'm back in familiar territory at the back of the pack. Comfortable surroundings out here in the distance.

[Magna]

There's a papaya squash - I'm guessing that's what was credited.

Yes, cucurbita moschata, or papaya squash aka winter squash aka papaw squash (not paw paw). Totally had to Google this one!
