Hey all, good season.  A rough start but a strong finish for me.  

I'd be psyched to play in a private rundle!

6/6 today

1 :) D1 Dragnet - I've seen so many parodies of this:  Mathnet, Police Squad/Naked Gun, that one episode of Woody Woodpecker.

2 :) D2 Cheops - I associate the name Cheops with Giza.

3 :) D0 Illinois - I got it from Wabash and Kankakee.

4 :) D2 Worms

5 :) D3 Bundt Pan - Over-defended this one, I think.

6 :) D1 Parabola

The humiliation of finishing last in my rundle is too much to bear. This game takes an emotional toll on my fragile ego but I can’t wait for the next season!

 

1. Weak category for me but I knew this
Your Answer: Dragnet

2. I thought I’d earned my history cheops, but I guess not
Your Answer: Ptolomy

3. I was pretty close, I’ve heard of Wabash
Your Answer: Ohio

4. No idea
Your Answer: orchids

Your Answer: bunt pan

6. I assume that I get this which would be my first math win ever!
Your Answer: parabolic

​4/6 on the last day of a fun season.  Happy to improve from 82 to 90 correct answers, putting me over .500 lifetime, but my DE took a nosedive to the bottom, costing me more than a few wins.  Pretty sure I'll stay in C, I'd need a loss and victories by the two players just below me to get relegated. 

Would love to do the private rundle, count me in!

​1) Dragnet.  I wasn't confident, this was a pleasant surprise. D2

2)Ramses.  Chag sameach to those who celebrate!  D1

3) Ohio.  I had no chance.   D1

4) Worms.  Gimme, I just know this for some reason. D3

5) Bundt.  I hope I don't need to include pan, otherwise a gimme. D0

6) Parabola.  Super duper math gimme. Not my favorite conic section, but it's close. D2

​And now... play ball! Let's Go Mets! Let's Go Mets!

Sharon wrapup.

Been AWOL due to travel, which cost me a win (answering late at night,
I wrote "Santo Domingo" instead of the country name, after thinking to
myself all day that I should avoid that mistake.) Also notable: after
trying to think of "fortnite" and instead putting "limelight"
half-a-season ago, I totally blanked on Fortnight. Now that it's been
an answer I will try hard to forget it as useless (things come around,
but this is likely not significant enough to).

Today: Passover clouded my ability to think about Egyptian rulers, I
stupidly didn't read "Eastern" in the geography question (would have
gotten it, even), and wrote "earthworms" instead of "worms" because I
didn't take the time to think about King Phillip Coming Over From
Great Spain and how soon in that sentence we hear the word Phillip.
Oops. 3/6.

Overall I was in C for a long time and had this theory that B and C
are pretty similar but very narrow relegation/promotion zones keep
them separate more than anything real. And while I had a pretty
strong season I pretty much proved my theory right my first season in
B. Still think A is crazyville and while I bounced up and down near
the edge of promotion in B, kind of happy to stay in B for next
season.
