I'm not sure of the significance of that number. Here are the first ten members and their user ID numbers: agefen (2), alietr (54), Robert K S (55), Archivists (56), Rex Kramer (57), happybooker (58), debramc (59), gamawire (60), JCui (61), TomKBaltimoreBoy (62). The first two accounts belong to ou...

A hearty congratulations to Boson for his MagA victory, his first ever!

Thanks! I made my learned league flag into a car window mounted thing, and I'm driving across town honking my horn.

Congrats to the other jboardies who qualified for the championship!

So, why would I ever have heard of those bridges? Or been able to put them in Vancouver? So, I lived in Vancouver for 5 years, which got it for me, but I think some knowledge of the city makes it guessable. The Lions Gate bridge is the iconic depression-era suspension bridge from Stanley park acros...

Anyone else having a roller coaster of a season? Here's my tally of correct answers so far in LL85: MDs 1-5: 26 MDs 6-10: 18 MDs 11-15: 28 MDs 16-20: 11 And on MD21 I pull a 6-pack. I know, A Rundle problems, but... almost makes me wonder if Thorsten doesn't break up the question sets into groups o...

Apparently "silicone" was accepted for the silicon/aluminum question which required two elements. How are you supposed to be able to put up an informed defense when clearly wrong answers are being allowed. Poor spelling is allowed. I know silicone is something different from silicon, but also a rea...

I was so close on the Whiz Kids question: McNamara started up a second group of Whiz Kids at the RAND corp. when he became sec'ty of defense. Unfortunately, this was a decade later, and they didn't come en masse from the air force. Hanging on precariously to a lofty position and my target question p...

I'm pretty shocked to have placed third overall in the midseason classic! Got 11 right, only missing confit. Somehow I managed to money the five most difficult questions. The last one to come to me was Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I knew many of the names so knew it had something to do with music, b...

8 of the 14 matches is A Magnolia yesterday were 9(6)-9(6) ties. I keep waiting for the drop, like in an EDM song.... The overall qpct is .578 - about .1 higher than the historical average. Good (but mortal) quizzers and boardies like FrankJ, FrumkinJ and myself have gaudy scores normally put up by ...

I didn't see the show, but 500 miles seems way shorter than the length of the Iron Curtain: Separating East and West Germany, Czeckslovakia and Hungary from Austria, and Yugoslavia from Austria and Italy is the dividing line from Soviet controlled to Western democracies in the mid 20th century. Tha...

I was at sea on this question too, so fittingly I put Santiago from the Old Man and the Sea.

Sorry all, I didn't get my act together in time for a private rundle.

Best of luck to everyone! I'll be in A Magnolia for my 18th season. The goal is to win it, but I'll settle for a few good gets along the way.

So, if anyone wants a good simulation of doing a PhD candidacy exam for which you are underprepared, please do the psychology and behavioral science minileague!

There, now you don't have to go to grad school!

Robert KS came up with the fix for it going automatically to Game Discussions. That was annoying me as well.

Thanks to you both!

Well, it looks like I was successful with the upgrade. I'm aware that the poll numbers aren't right yet; we will work on that one. And I need to get the logo back. Plus spoilers don't seem to be working, so I will try to fix that as well. If there are any other issues, please let me know. An extra ...

On Facebook I got a friend suggestion for Maggie Speak. Now there's a sure way to make sure that I never get called to be on the show.

I got the same suggestion, which I declined. However, I believe Maggie has left the show, so it might be less consequential.

Monya De is another of those who auditioned at Trivia Nationals in August. So far, I think none have won from this cohort (please correct me).

Tiger King on Netflix and Zoom for video conferencing were unknown to me earlier this month while in the past week they've pinged my radar many times. Be ready. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_King:_Murder,_Mayhem_and_Madness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_Video_Communications I started wat...
