DO U SEE?

I don't know about the etiquette about talking about other players, but said player is high-profile enough in a couple different ways that you can connect the dots relatively easily.

I don't know the etiquette totally either so don't want to talk too readily, but that link is only visible with a login so hopefully I am showing showing some discretion.

lol, that's awesome

Think the finals first reveal happens now

Oh no, 10PM PDT.

Ken Jennings in the top ten of round one I think

i'm in 58th, seven points ahead of some rutter guy

not surprised so many people got 11/12 right on round 1, it was definitely the easiest of the four - i'm very curious to see what happens in round 2 (to say nothing of round 3, which was a fucking nightmare)

I am in 110th place, in honor of Bobby Womack. I too have an embarrassing performance in R3 to reckon with, assuming that I qualify.

Learned League Championship is a helluva tester

So I have heard

Thorsten wont let contestants go free

I've never finished higher than 7th (in an A rundle), so I've never really paid much attention to the championship.

Wonder how many more participants will show up on this thread today..

Wow, good work.

I'm not sure how to feel about how much of my high score was due to my knowledge of pro wrestling and crappy comic strips, but there we are. My reckoning is coming in Round 3 (spoiler alert)

now i wanna know the crappy comic strip questions

"Most comic strip characters never age. Notable exceptions include those in Frank King's Gasoline Alley, Gary Trudeau's Doonesbury, and the Patterson family in what strip written and drawn by Lynn Johnston from 1979 to 2008?"

ah, that would've been my moment to shine too.

boxcar!

lol, i still have a boxcar coffee mug somewhere

Would've been 50/50 for me on the strips question because I can never remember if it's For Better Or Worse or For Better Or For Worse (I think it's the former).

It's "For Better of For Worse", and "For Better or Worse" wasn't accepted which probably accounts for a lot of the low get rate.

Have you heard this one before? A LLama walks into a bar, the bartender says "Why the low get rate?"

made the cut!

So you made it past "I Can't Drive 255"? Congrats!

Are you guys all so good you won A rundles? Isn't that who's in this final?

You only have to make top 3, which is good because I only barely snuck in at 3rd place in 1 of the 4 seasons.

ahhh i get the rock star ref now. v cool

had william tell written in all morning, second guessed myself right before I clicked submit and changed my answer and lost the match because of it lmao

B-b-but did you make the cut?

40th place, in honor of U2.

Uno(s), dos, tres, cuarenta!

82nd overall - not moneying Candace Cameron and incorrectly moneying TWICE in round 3 killed me, as did round 3 in general. Nice work, Greg!

Nice work, fellas! B-b-but what about the third man, Harry LLima, how did he do?

Not really a question specific to this thread, but has anyone been doing the Spelling Bee?

Not the one in the NYT?

if it is, i have

Same, I play it every day, and enough to have noticed its recent changes.

Squeaked out a win yesterday thanks to my middling theater score, which I think may have prompted my opponent to assign 3 for the very earnest question.

Meanwhile, I got 0 points for the hardest league-wide question that I ever got right.

Thanks to my middling score, I knew that if *I* knew "earnest" everybody was gonna know.

Same, I play it every day, and enough to have noticed its recent changes.

It used to limit itself to two vowels (not counting y), now it has up to 3.
It used to never have ED or ING among its letters.

Oh so many more words possible now?
