This is my 33rd LL season...and there have been several days I answered 5 correct but never all 6 on the same day.
On MD23, I recorded another 5-answer day, winning 9(5)-2(2)...but the one I missed was the math question...and I teach college mathematics.
Sigh! Some things are just not meant to be.

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread
Ha...no misprint. The goal in the Chaos rundle is to give away as many points as possible, so you aim to have a low DE.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 8:29 pmIs that a misprint? I didn't even think it was possible to have a DE that low.

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread
I also wanted to mention that in the Chaos rundle, I finished 2nd-worst in DE (0.291), missing out on the "championship" by 0.005 points.

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread
I did claim the Dawkins trophy in Foundry for LL98 and finished tied for 12th overall in MCW out of all players in LL.

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread
Well, it's official. I am now locked into relegation for the second season in a row. I don't know how many people go from "C" back to "E" in consecutive seasons but I take pride in being an overachiever! Speaking of overachieving...there are over 20,000 LL players...and according...

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread
Not only am I running away with the Dawkins race in Foundry (I now have 29 MCW...the next highest has 24), but I have made the LL leaderboard! I've never had this many MCW in my 30 LL seasons.

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread
So, heading into the final days of LL98, I'm making a run at the Dawkins award in Foundry.
This is the first time I've been on the leaderboard. If I take the Dawkins, will my cash award be enough for me to retire?

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread
I spent all of LL97 in the relegation zone in a disaster of a season in "C"...and now, I'm stuck in relegation zone in "D"; it appears I'm headed to "E" next season. I can't go any lower. One bright spot: I'm tied for 3rd in MCW in Foundry league. Screenshot 2023-09-17 ...

Re: LL Season 97
For the first time ever, I got 12 out of 12 on a 1DS, this time for the Daytime TV 1DS. Finished 32nd out of 1315 entrants, with 414 points, just 25 points out of first place.

I got 21 right in the J! round...and only 10 correct in the DJ round. ISS was my only guess for FJ.

$8000 for me from the fourth podium (thank you for the math category!) and I did get Lesotho for FJ so I could have managed a win.

Re: LL Season 97
I finished LL97 with a 2(2)-2(2) tie on MD25; both me and my opponent answered the same two questions correctly (Bedknobs and Broomsticks; Barbra Streisand) and we both assigned the same points for those answers. I finished LL97 in 21st place in my rundle, with a record of 4-19-2, ending a humiliati...

Re: LL Season 97
So, after submitting my answers on MD24, I thought maybe I had my first 9(6) ever. Georgia? Check! Pyrex? Check! Arnold and Al? Check! And on and on it went until the last one, which I missed but claimed a 6(5)-4(4) win; I actually have a two-match win streak in what has been an otherwise miserable ...

Re: LL Season 97
I almost pulled off one of the greatest upsets in the history of LL on MD19, but ultimately used poor defense to snatch a 2(2)-3(2) loss to the top-ranked person in my rundle. So close...yet, so far away. Now 2-16-1 on the season.

Re: LL Season 97
I tried calling the Associated Press but kept getting a busy signal so I guess I'll use the discussion thread to announce that I won on MD18, 2(1)-0(F), ending a 13 match non-win streak. It was almost a 0(0) for me because I only got the last one correct because I knew Imhotep was a mummy and if the...
