Re: TD 407 - Mini-TD #6 - Q4 REVEALED
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.floridagator wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 11:48 pm Allow me to celebrate my 4/4 singletons now, as I suspect I'm going to get my comeuppance on the Jane Austen question.

Re: TD 407 - Mini-TD #6 - Q4 REVEALED
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!MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 10:20 amYou're welcome.

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!

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.

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.

Congrats to our top 1, 1 and 3! To collect your prize, DM your mailing address and I will send you a signed 4x6 of me running the NYC marathon as a clown last year. Actually, anyone who wants one can have one, even the eliminated players!
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.)MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 2:16 pm Congrats to our top 1, 1 and 3!

I will definitely be requesting my signed photo of the famous marathon clown, before the offer is rescinded!
