I believe that, by definition, an arthroscope goes into a joint.
I didn't think the clue implied that it all happened at once, but a 80% swing (from 5 reps to 1) is still inexplicable. Good sleuthing by the Tampa fan . All I could find was that Congress did not reapportion after the 1920 census because the rural states didn't want to give up their advantage. 100 years later, same shit, different century.

I would think it would be ruled incorrect. An arthroscope is rigid and generally no more than about six inches long; an endoscope is flexible and can be more than three feet in length depending on how much of the upper digestive tract is to be visualized.
Actually, Yungsheng's wager had some merit that at least he would have stayed ahead of Andie, if both were wrong. My suggested wager for him was 230, but that does have the drawback of allowing Andie to win with a tiny wager of his own. I'm not so sure Andie would have made a wise wager from second, being his 'all-but-a-dollar' bet totally disregarded what Eleanor might leave on the table. I'm curious to see how he wagers in the next game's FJ scenario.opusthepenguin wrote:Pretty sure Yungsheng getting FJ right had more to do with it. If he'd gotten it wrong he would've cost himself the game. There's no telling whether Andie's wager from second would've been smarter, only that it almost certainly wouldn't have been dumber. (All-in would be the only dumber bet, I think.)
Montana gained a House seat in the last census and will have two seats starting in 2023.twelvefootboy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 11:58 pm PSA: states with 1 Representative: VT, DE, ND, SD, WY, MT, AK
I did not realize TWO Eastern states were on this list. I picked New Hampshire because frankly, I can't even name the capital right now (Concord? (confirmed)).
I didn't think it was a bad clue until learning just now (making the PSA) that Delaware also has just 1 Rep. There's enough hype around Presidential campaigns and electors that the nothingburger states should be noticeable.

Another "Hays Code" answer.

The second shows 3 syllables-Volante wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 12:15 amMW has two pronunciations for palliative and both have 4 syls: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/palliativetwelvefootboy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 11:58 pm I thought Andie's "pallative" answer was good enough imho, even without the improved enunciation.

I took the neg with the 3 syl version. It'll probably be officially correct in another 5-10 years, but not yet IMO.
I strongly suspect this is the real reason for the judges' reversal, and not the timing of his second attempt vs the buzzer. In my experience, more people omit the first I than pronounce it, so I'd call it an acceptable variant pronunciation.twelvefootboy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 11:58 pm I thought Andie's "pallative" answer was good enough imho, even without the improved enunciation.

You'd have to find a dictionary that recorded such a variant. And why wouldn't they give that as the reason for the reversal? The reason they did give was true.da Doctah wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 5:32 amI strongly suspect this is the real reason for the judges' reversal, and not the timing of his second attempt vs the buzzer.
