Re: Fourth Podium Poll for 10/16/2020 (Part 2)
I didn't have a response for "don't go there" and "Old Ironsides," and Aanchal and Kristin saved me from $3,600 in negs by also saying Northrop Grumman and Elizabeth I. Though I think I might have been able to rebound with Henry VIII on the latter, I'm counting both as clams. That's $4,800 in this thread and $6,600 in the other. Even if I do take the $3,600 in negs, I got FJ right. I think anyone who got FJ is likely to have a fourth podium win; $2,800 is probably enough in the rest of the game for FJ to get you there. ($2,700 is the real breakpoint, but one can't really collect an odd number of hundreds in LT.)

Flags.
Said Elizabeth for Magellan (thinking Drake instead probably)
3600 + 6800 from the previous = $10,400 + FJ
...more work doing this than it was watching the game!
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Good point; I overlooked gaming the hypothetical instead of the actual.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:46 pmSo in Shrum-world, Kristin always bets $2700 when she has $8000, regardless of what the competition has?
I would normally assume and anticipate a second-place player wagers enough for a win with a solve if the leader bets zero -- so she'd need a wager of $3201.
Thanks for the catch. But just to clarify, in Shrumworld the other players always do exactly what I want them to do. No more, no less. Isn't it that way in the land of the Opi?

Didn't want to confuse people. Unless your breed of penguin is a songbird.

I have an engineering degree, but in the fall of 1987, took Music 5 "An Intro to Western Music" (I had to take it or something like it, I had to take Landscape Architecture as well (you know, part of 18 credits of nonsense that made me well rounded I guess)). That class was a lot of classical music and basically the only American discussed was Copland and "Appalachian Spring".This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 2:48 pm I checked "I negged on FJ with a different Copland composition" but I actually put down "Ozark Spring." So it was really that I knew the piece being referred to, I just messed up the name.
Till I really started into the trivia thing, "Appalachian Spring" was probably the only Copland title I could come up with.

Knew FJ was Copland, but spent most of the time trying to think of the name of the wrong piece of music (Hoedown).
