Dog'gone it. I thought the title of this would be fairly limited knowledge here, especially when it can be confused with String Of Pearls. It didn't occur to me that the artist might be scored together.E. In the Mood, Glenn Miller - 9 (SHEEP)

I just want to know how many of the “O Tannenbaum” responses were actually “O Christmas Tree” responses. I hesitated to pick that option for that reason.Category 13 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 12:52 amDog'gone it.

I'm curious as to how many of these were song title selections.
Title for me as it's a pretty famous piece of music. I had choices and just did not make the best one obviously. I thought "At Last" would be the sheep and it would have been if I went that way.Category 13 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 12:52 amDog'gone it.

Yeah, I was fuzzy about the scoring too. I picked it as the least obvious title of the instrumental selections. Now I see I could've gone with Ella singing a song title right off the bat!Category 13 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 12:52 amDog'gone it.

Hope you have better luck with that than I do! When I go with what I think may be the most obscure, it sheeps. When I go with what I think may be the most obvious so that people will avoid it, it sheeps. When I close my eyes and pick one at random, it sheeps. And.... when I think, "stay away from that one at all costs," someone gets a singleton with it. Or it goes unused. Case in point, I figured Frankfurt, my first impulse, would be a very popular answer for the city in Germany, so I skipped it -- and no one picked it.
And I thought that it was significantly larger (Wikipedia says a population of 244,951), but I've only seen it passing through on a train. I was actually thinking of Augsburg initially since I knew that it was the Bavarian capital (also considered Freiburg), but then my mind turned to Aachen and I thought "Who else will even know that name?" I should have known....
Seriously!? I was going to WAG that but I thought it had to be more complicated and I didn't want to risk the neg. Bleargh.floridagator wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 7:25 pm UNUSED
Floating Hospital for Children was originally on a ship. (And you were worried it was endowed by Elijah & Pearl Floating.)
I have a problem with the scoring of this. First of all, Palliative Care or Palliative Medicine if you prefer, absolutely requires a MD and is a recognized speciality, though a newer one. Secondly, Oral and maxillofacial surgery is absolutely a medical specialty, and many OMFS practitioners have MDs, not DDS/DMD's, as there is a 6 year residency track to get an MD and a 4 year track to be a non MD OS (I am a dentist, btw). If you would like to make the argument that palliative medicine is invalid because it's a sub speciality, which I will agree it is, though perhaps the question should have specified that subspecialties were not acceptable, then why was something like epileptology, which is clearly a subspecialty of neurology accepted?floridagator wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 7:25 pm

Yep. I thought adding the "rhino" would make it a singleton. Alas, no dice. Classic spelling bee word right there, too.heppm01 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 8:58 pmLOL. Pretty sure those are four people who thought they would have a singleton.floridagator wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 7:25 pm
