WTG podiasti, especially to econ"Cal Ripken"gator who, AFAIK, has yet to miss one of these. Nice to see a set of questions fall your way again, which happens not nearly enough!

So, these last two turned out to be a little bit sheepy, but considering that I was expecting both of them to be INCORRECT, I am elated !jeff6286 wrote: (6) Snowboard Half-Pipe

Congrats to the podiumites, thanks to jeff for a good game, and even though I am in my usual place in mediocrity, at least I share my score with good company

Seventh place - my best showing yet! I'm proudly wearing my (clay? bakelite? pleather?) medal. Still kind of amazed that Chuck Forrest was a singleton, but Flight Simulator wasn't!
Thanks for a great game Jeff!

I'll take a top-half finish and an early lead (even if I did drop the first question) for my first foray into TD. Thanks for a great game Jeff (and for your generous scoring on Super Mario World 64, which, as you correctly guessed, was not the game I was going for)! I'll be back for the next one.

Re: Think Different #151: Fun & Games
Thanks jeff and congrats to the winners! This was pretty fun, even though I almost forgot about it and didn't seriously look at the questions until about 1/2 hour before the deadline. (I don't think it would have helped me think of a better amusement park if I'd had all the time in the world. I guess I might have decided to go with a safe Disney park, but I really thought Six Flags over Texas was more popular than that. I used to work across the street from it and there was certainly lots more traffic when the park was open...) Amazing that with only one wrong answer and 2 singletons (2!), if you get mostly sheep you can still come in dead last. Oh well, I guess I can claim it's slightly more exciting than mediocrity. Or not. (Seriously, why did everyone pick 400m IM for their swim event? It seemed random enough to me, but not this time...)
Looking forward to the next one...

Missed it by that much. Still, quite an improvement over my first two attempts at TD. Thanks for hosting, Jeff!
