If I were playing Rass this week, I bet I'd be looking into where FDU actually plays their D1 basketball.

[rass]

How often is the same (basically) answer a leftover multiple times in the same game?

If I were playing Rass this week, I bet I'd be looking into where FDU actually plays their D1 basketball.

If I were playing you I'd say read the question.

[Ryan]

How often is the same (basically) answer a leftover multiple times in the same game?

Very niiiice

[Ryan]

OK, several games in the balance. Here we go.

Was hoping both countries touching the Black Sea would somehow count as a border

If you don't think this is wild enough, zoom out

[Gunpowder]

Oh come on, Quentin Coryatt

[tennbengal]

Woo!

[Giff]

Oh come on, Quentin Coryatt

What the actual fuck y’all.

[tennbengal]

Oh come on, Quentin Coryatt

Everyone wearing their Coryatt jerseys - rotten luck.

[Ryan]

[sancarlos]

Well, you can tell who the hockey fans are around here. We all picked a Sedin.

Just to reiterate, there were two answers that took place 5 months ago and they combined for -1 point

[Shirley]

I thought Irving was right and I put Emtman in my preliminary list but had no really confidence in that one. I guess I just don't follow drafts that much.

[A_B]

HD 60FPS....yeah, no.

I totally missed that. I wanted to answer Baku but wasn't sure. Damn.

[Shirley]

GG, Pruitt. You smoked me and everyone else.

Ryan discovers Swampers are middle aged guys

[Nonlinear FC]

Good game Rush. While I consistently put up the same basic number every week, this one actually felt pretty good because I thought this slate was pretty tough.

This game is beyond cruel.

[DaveInSeattle]

I got about 10 variations of "I don't know what the hell this means but here's a correct answer..."

Q7 - Name the SI prefix (e.g. "tera" for 10¹²) used for any power of ten between 10⁻⁹ and 10⁹ (10)

CORRECT
Nano (4) - DiS, Jerloma, Nonlinear, Sancarlos

Nano is part of the name of my company...it would have looked bad if I hadn't gotten that one.

Read a great book a while back...



Only reason I knew that.

If I were playing you I'd say read the question.

Its really funny if someone here is the one who edited this ...

Oh come on, Quentin Coryatt

I had a nagging feeling pulling me to switch to Coryatt thinking Emtman would be a huge score, ignoring my instincts paid off! That draft sticks out for me because as a Jets fan, I was convinced the Colts were guaranteed to build a dynasty around their #1 and #2 picks. Sedin twins I remember when they were drafted and that is when I stopped following, so I am shocked to see they both played for 21 years and are in the HoF. They are frozen as rookies in my mind. Also confidently had LeBron on my list, but see he was drafted 8 years earlier. I think I have an idea of what it's like to learn about pop culture after decades in a coma.

I really wanted to read that when it came out, and now I'm thinking I did and don't remember. I'm turning into my parents. I used to get mad at them when they'd rewatch a show or movie and not remember that they'd seen it already.

[govmentchedda]

Not just going with the first thing that pops in my mind is paying off.

That was the difference maker too! Good game, buddy.

[Jerloma]

Just to clarify, Ryan, did you give people credit for just giving the country, because I feel like it wouldn't bee too draconian to not do that?

[HaulCitgo]

Well I named a country whose capital was still wrong

[rass]

Well I named a country whose capital was still wrong

and good game!

[A_B]

thanks pdx!

[DSafetyGuy]

Spotting BFJ 8 to start the game. Smooooothh work.

Spotting BFJ 13 points to start the game. SMOOOOOOOOOTH WORK.

I gave Carwash 15 points on the second (QB) question. He was able to pull his starters before halftime.

I also thought about changing my answer to John Elway, thinking starting all those games against divisional foes San Diego, Los Angeles/Oakland, and Seattle might have gotten him there.

[mister d]

Athens, Greece (5) - Bengal, BSF, Mister D, Rass, Sancarlos

This is my Hail Mary of the week and probably season so far. We should stop with geography questions.
