I almost went with Chlorine. Oh well. And I gave the atomic weight for Carbon, not its atomic #. Stupid neutrons. (Or rather, stupid immaf.)
Teems with quiet fun.

Only three singletons so far, and two have gone to Noon - way to go! It is Cat Hat, however, who has taken an early lead. Will it last? Just about Jeopardy! time here, so tune in tomorrow...same bat time, same bat channel.

I did not have Californium as #98 for the bonus. My guess was 108.

Re: TD 196 - Cheaper by the Dozen
Seems appropriate that a guy named Noon should score well on a 12-themed TD.

Re: TD 196 - Cheaper by the Dozen
Not that it will make any difference in the standings, but I'm sure I said 112 for copernicium. When I asked a similar TD question, it was a singleton, now it damn near sheeps. *sigh*

Re: TD 196 - Cheaper by the Dozen
Wow- that one went so not the way I thought it would go.
Eagleburger is the only one my mind never considered. Couple low scoring ones seemed too sheepy. (Kerry, Clinton)
Considered Vance but thought he was too early.

Phew! I was sweatin' this one hoping that I hadn't either misremembered or miscounted (going that far back).gamawire wrote:

I picked him thinking he would be the most obscure name of the bunch, then of course had to worry that would make him sheep-bait in this group (cause that's what usually seems to happen when I try to go obscure on a TD). Since I usually oscillate between sheep and incorrects, I'm delighted to pick up a doubleton (though a singleton would have been nice, too, Kayanne ).
There are times I almost think I am not sure of what I absolutely knooooooooo-OW

6. As chosen by Rolling Stone (in 2011, I believe), name one of the top 12 guitarists of all time.
Bonus: How many women made the original Top 100 list?
No surprise on the sheep or the two runners-up since they fell in order from the list.

Bonus question: The answer to the bonus question is two (2). Bonnie Raitt came in at #89. The second woman came in at #75 - the first one to post the correct name will get a one-point score deduction (no fair answering if you looked this up after you submitted - honor system, please!).

I had a feeling Kissinger was on the 12/13 bubble and wasn't sure which side. Glad I erred on the side of caution. Wish I'd been super-cautious and selected Kerry!

Just made a correction to responses for the last question - I had left someone off who responded with Eddie van Halen, so there are a total of (3) for that responses. Sorry!
