Scott had the good fortune to more or less have a category all to himself, and that was the difference. He outscored Brian $7,000 to $400 in Bands of the 21st Century, which constituted more than 100% of his $5,800 pre-FJ! lead. Speaking of that lead, I found it interesting that Scott came up just $200 short of a crush. Brian's previous wagers suggested that he wouldn't be savvy enough to maximize his chances of winning, though.

Would not a sprint move you up in the standings in a marathon, but not for long?
I guess no one says "take a sprint," but the clue was pinned loosely enough that I'm surprised they didn't reverse the neg.

Bad Pavlovs: Ancient + Lives ==> Seutonius every time. Argh. I have a blind spot for Plutarch
I have a
Parallel Lives historian = Plutarch card in my Leitner box, as part of my efforts to distinguish Plutarch and Petrarch. I've gotten lazy, though, and haven't reviewed them in several months, so I couldn't pick up the trash tonight.
Sprinkles are for winners.
