Feel better now that I see a certain RS writer (at the mag, but not the initials, his friend) got all twelve and only finished two places ahead of me.

23rd in cancon!! my highest ml finish ever (and only my third finals)
definitely helped by the amount of cancon trivia i have written for my own quiz over the years, and definitely helped by living in the french zone of canada, which at least gave me a chance on those questions (scored nearly 100 points on a money i thought was fairly easy considering how much my friends who have grown up here have talked about it in the past)

i did very badly - only got two answers right and didn't money one of them because it was a lucky guess

Me neither! In fact in another context someone mentioned the below show recently which led to my wrong answer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOYhkbhHPPU

The cardinal rule is to not leave it blank so writing a known wrong answer, while extremely painful, is still the done thing.

My ego has taken a real bruising as I've gone 0-3 on Math questions this season. On the plus side, I'm still mid-table, even though there's 1 point separating me from the relegation zone (not factoring in tiebreakers).

Silby and I did pretty well on Buster Keaton.

Now that I think of it, the first time I saw The General was at Silby's alma mater.
I've had some awful moneying this 1DS season -- off the top of my head, I've played at least 2 where I ended < 50%ile but could've finished as high as the 80th.
That said, congrats to Greg for winning one recently!

Halfway point and not only am I above 0.500 but I'm also in the top 10, which just means there's a lot more room for me to fall.

Not for me! (I missed thiamine.) In fact, I haven't scored a single 6/6 all season. If that holds, it would be the first season since LL63 in 2014 in which I didn't get at least one. Luckily, I've had plenty of 5/6 days and am in the middle of the pack as usual.
― jaymc, Thursday, 16 March 2023 12:13 (one year ago) link
Well, my prediction is proving true, as I'm on a 6 game losing streak where half of the losses have been avoidable.

I was in the 92nd percentile for the Urban Planning one-day, which sounds good until I tell you I was the librarian for the American Planning Association for six years.

Not sure how it happened, but I'm sitting at the top of an A rundle for the first time ever this late in the season. I think maybe the league that I was moved into last season (along with Leee and NA) is a little less competitive? Anyway, I've probably jinxed it by mentioning it, but still crossing my fingers.
