Yep...stumped me as well.

Apparently, #17 fucked with my vision. But it is the best worded question of all-time.

I just chose the lady wearing red in the banner picture. Sure, it'll be popular but some times you gotta just play it safe.

We’re all gonna sit down and watch the Olympics together this summer as a family and you’re at least gonna have to pretend to care

Anyone up for a pool?

[The Sybian]

Pre-college me wants to punch current day me in the balls. I'm confident in 8 out of the 9 Playbills, yet I'm only 50% sure I could name one college coach who coached in the playoffs (I know he's a coach), I'm 99% sure I couldn't name a single correct baseball player, and I have no concept of whether my LeBron guess has a shot at being correct, but I got no other guesses.

[sancarlos]

I looked up an answer I gave where I was confident I’d score a one pointer. It is wrong. Dammit.

Bengal, Cheddah, and Enoch all sitting on -1s right now, which, as we all know, grant Money in the Bank style privileges to challenge the winner to a one-question title match at any point during the summer.

I feel like our answers to 3, 5, 12, 15, and 17 will be data collected for some sociology men's recollection of notable women study.

Holy shit - I never have a chance at a -1 - if that holds might help me balance out not having any idea and not even making a guess on one of the questions...

Maybe you guys can try being a little less critical of the new host for tomorrow's game by the way. We only get paid whatever our real job pays us for this shit.
