I've encountered him several times over the years, suffice to say I defriended him on Facebook quite some time ago and he's generally edged himself out to the furthest fringes of the bits of the international quiz community I frequent.

I usually do a good job of actually reading the question, but in the 1DS on Pitchfork reviews, I answered "The Strokes" and "The Beach Boys" instead of "Is This It" and "Pet Sounds." Dumb! But even though those were the only two I missed, getting them right would've only been good enough for a tie at 52nd.

The Women In Art one was pretty bad, half the questions were about male artists.

I didn't end up submitting on that one, but I did read the questions and noticed that.

I have no memory at all of the other ML Finals I have been in, except maybe the general idea that they are usually super-hard.

I got all 12 right in the Star Trek: TNG 1DS but didn't even crack the 90th %ile, which is the second-biggest heartbreak for me this week.

People love them some Star Trek.

I mean, I could've won the damn thing, this feeling of regret reminds me of something similar from last week.
