[rass]

Feel like this was a really tough set of questions. Maybe just me.

[Shirley]

I thought last week's were harder.

[The Sybian]

Feel like this was a really tough set of questions. Maybe just me.

I agree, although I learned that attempting to answer in-between sets at the gym doesn't work. I realized I answered a question twice and skipped one, then Ryan had to send it back because I didn't answer the question the way I was supposed to. Hooray for bye weeks!

[checks Google and see both my answers to that question were wrong, and one answer in the wrong form on top of being incorrect!]

Smoltz, Glavine, and Maddux were the first 3 I wrote down. I chose poorly after that.
