Allow me to celebrate my 4/4 singletons now, as I suspect I'm going to get my comeuppance on the Jane Austen question.

You're welcome. Of course we'll gladly take just two points on it. P&P and S&S were out as expected sheep and I would not have gone with Emma either. The question was pick one of the other three.

My experience after many TDs is that the “pick a lesser known one” too often backfires. At first I was dithering between Mansfield Park and Northamger Abbey, but second-guessed myself and went with Emma. Bah!

[CasketRomance]

chose the right 1 of the 3 i knew by that author...still kind of sheepish

[morbeedo]

6. ISRAEL (many answers)
Name any city in Israel recognized by the international community (i.e., stay away from those pesky disputed sectors)

Q6 ANSWERS

Spoiler

For this TD, I decided to open up the last question by asking for something with many possible answers - as opposed to a narrowly limited set - but only few that most people would know. Still, I did a double take when I saw that no one answered Jerusalem. I still don't believe it!

WRONG ANSWERS

ELIMINATED

Bethlehem (Part of Palestine)

Cana (Could've been anywhere, nobody knows)

[SenseiCAY]

My first time getting eliminated, and I did it twice. Thanks for hosting! These are fun.

[twelvefootboy]

These mini's are by far my favorite, and some day I'll make it to the end of one. Or not. Every game needs a sucker.

[classicroadster]

Thanks Morbeedo, these quick ones are fun. Picked the wrong question to sheep but I can only name a few cities in Israel sadly, although I should've just gone with Jerusalem.

[MarkBarrett]

For those of you who don't go back far enough: Ken Jennings participated on one of the older versions of a J! message board and was asked for an autograph. He met the request and of course more people then asked for one as well. He bought a batch of his photos of himself with Alex and signed them. He distributed them as people mailed him a SASE. It went on for a while until he finally had to announce an end date as it was a bottomless pit of good will.

Thanks Morbeedo for the game and lucky for me that Nazareth is indeed a place in Israel.

Wow, third place! That was a surprise, especially after I was so low in the rankings after a couple of questions (29th place after question 2.)

I will definitely be requesting my signed photo of the famous marathon clown, before the offer is rescinded!

[MattKnowles]

Thanks morbeedo. I appreciate the time you spend so that we can all enjoy playing trivia.

[JayK33]

I'm glad I placed as high as I did. Congrats to the winners.

Looking forward to the next mini-TD.
