culottes
tasted Baskin-Robbins ice cream
Fidelio
Norfolk
Clammed on all the extras.

I only checked three boxes total which may be my lowest ever.

[Volante]

...and the poll math code isn't quite right still. (It reverts to the old method on submission. That's going to be a lulu to track down...)
So if you want to see what the bars should look like, refresh the page.

[Plactus]

Khakis (jodhpurs occurred to me just too late); no guess.
I used to go to Baskin-Robbins a lot.

[davey]

Yikes! Not my set of clues....At least I got the 2 hardest FJs. ..

[skullturf]

My first 5/5 in a while!

[dinghammer]

There used to be a Baskin-Robbins a couple (long) blocks away from where I live now. I went there a few times. Both it and the one in the nearest mall closed quite some time ago. Now there's a frozen yogurt place a few doors down from where it used to be, and I'm sure that'll last.

[cthulhu]

Payback for my perfect FJs last week, I guess.
Hate the opera clues. Hate, hate, hate.
Figured out the 31st day of the month quickly, but had no clue about Baskin-Robbins; there are several close to me but I'm an ice cream snob - they do make a mean milkshake though.

[Leander]

Got to 31, but couldn't get to Baskin Robbins. Haven't lived near one of their stores in a long time, but had ice cream there often as a kid.

Yikes.

[BigDaddyMatty]

Came up with Quantico about 7-8 seconds too late
I have had Baskin-Robbins's wares many a time

[Category 13]

Are the votes and the percentages flip-flopped?
How could there be 405 votes already?

edit: Oh, now it says 81. somebody must have just changed it?

It's a bug that's going to take a loooong time to track down. The javascript that triggers when you hit submit uses the old math for some reason.

[MDaunt]

My knowledge of Northern Virginia geography is minimal.

I don't know what you changed precisely, but I was taking a quick look at this code earlier and I noticed there are two places that compute the same thing, one on page load and one on AJAX requests (ie responses to votes). See https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/blob/mas ... wtopic.php lines 984 - 999 for the AJAX part, which is probably what you need to change. I assume the change you already made was to the code around the computation of $poll_total that begins on line 1005 of the same file.

Edit: oh, and I'll put in my FJ responses here:



The Figaro clue was made for me.

[IronNeck]

Yet another 4/5 week. Sigh. If only I knew what jodhpurs were...

[twelvefootboy]

I missed the damn blues question which is like forgetting my middle name. I just Pavlov'd the number 8 when I saw the word "beat" and didn't even process the question.

I don't eat ice cream. But I like numbers, so an easy get for me. Quantico was an educated guess, it sounded Indian and my only alternative was Langley or LaJeune. Forget about the Opera question and the Pope was out of my league.

Sorry we didn't get the tossup question about the 4 words v the 4-letter word dysphoria about the greeting. I'm in the 4-letter club.

[goatman]

Been missing the Board. Broke my habit!

[TenPoundHammer]

I have eaten at a Baskin-Robbins.
