Thanks to mujason and congrats to the winners.
Tale of woe: I left three singletons on the table.
Kym Johnson: I actually had her name down and changed it at the last minute. It was misspelled, but close enough for Jeopardy. What was I thinking?
John Adams: Let's see, Washington and Jefferson, but he was technically third against Jefferson. Better go with a more recent answer. Duh, Washington had two terms.
Cleveland: Federal Reserve Bank. San Francisco. Or Cleveland. Better go with my first guess. It always goes bad for me when I change an answer. Yeah, why couldn't I remember that for the DwtS answer?
Small consolation: Even with all three singletons, I wouldn't have been anywhere close to the podium.

Can't believe I finished as well as I did - that mix of big sheeps and singletons didn't work out too bad. Here's hoping I do anywhere near this well on TD 180 (y'all don't forget to enter!). Thanks for the fun game, mujason.

Thanks for the game! Lots of sheep, but also a few doubletons (Zebulun, Screech, Richmond) = safely in the middle of the pack.

Thanks for the game, mujason! Middle-of-the-pack finish again for me, but only one error (Derek Jeter), so there's that, I guess. (Was trying so hard to come up with Bragg, but I couldn't get Gauss -- which I knew wasn't what I was looking for -- out of the way.) Congratulations to the placers!

In my quest to practice my TDs, I'm review older ones!
1. Tom Brady co-SHEEP | 4 (4)
2. Esau [INC] | 10 (14)
3. Einstein [INC] | 22 (36)
4. DROP | 0 (36) | Ranking: below last
5. Red Sox [INC] | 12 (48) (RTFQ!!!)
6. Maxim Schmirkofsky [INC] |12 (60)
7. SHEEP | 4 (64) | Ranking: below last
8. William Douglass (HEDGE) [INC] | 10 (74)
9. Tiger Woods co-SHEEP | 7 (81)
10. "A horse, A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" | 7 (88) | Ranking: below last (five points behind)
11. Guanine [INC] | 14 (102)
12. USA | 6 (108)
13. 21 SHEEP | 8 (116) | Ranking: below last (two points behind)
14. Philadelphia | 3 (119)
15. H&R Block SHEEP | 15 (134)
Bonus 1. Michael Phelps | -1 (133)
Bonus 2. _____ | 0 (133)
Bonus 3. B [INC] | 0 (133)
Final Ranking: 41st-42nd!
I ended moving up at the end. I'm doing these quite quickly, and that's probably reflecting in my scores.
Is my math wrong? Feel free to let me know!
