Recent Coryats:
originally 11-11-11: 31600, and only one neg. The first time I played, my score was 26600. By the way, I still wish Joon and Roger hadn’t played in the same semifinal, so that they could have possibly met in the finals. Why’d the powers that be do it like that?
Andy says he doesn’t usually watch Jeopardy! reruns because he remembers too many of the questions and answers. I don’t usually think that’s true in my case, except for this ToC. It was so memorable!
originally 11-14-11: 27600 (32000 without negs). The first time I played, my score was 24000.
originally 11-26-08: 24800 (30000 without negs)
originally 11-27-08: 22800 (28400 without negs)
Now: Dad of Twins, who writes the clues for the Summer Hiatus Challenge, has offered a replacement question for the controversial 10-pointer of Week 2 Day 2: That’s (Not Very) Cold, “J”: Even though it is the largest metropolitan economy in sub-Saharan Africa, this city is less than 300 miles from the nearest wild penguins.
I negged on the original clue, so I was happy to see this softball. How everyone else did who didn’t get the original clue right: Ryan, Joon, David (appears to have forgotten the category), Julie, Stefan, Alison, Andy, Vito
Here are the standings for Week 3 Day 1:
Joon Pahk (He got a perfect score, but he wrote the Cell Biology category!)
Ryan Chaffee
Liz Murphy
Vito Cortese
Julie Bratvold Ghanbari
Robert
David Menchaca
Kathy Wright and Megan Barnes (tie)
Alison Stone Roberg
Andy
Stefan Goodreau
Me
