I thought Thorsten did all the scoring
I think he does too, but it's based solely on rules provided by the smiths so it's not always as forgiving/generous as an LL match.
On the 1DSes I’ve written, I’ve had to put it as many acceptable answers as possible, but never have had to think of potential misspellings that are still right. So I think TAI still has that not-fun task. He posted all the spellings of Khachaturian he got for one question on a 1DS.

I would think Thorsten as the scoring is automatic, then the wrong answers checked (he explained the system in a thread somewhere on LL). He would be the one to have access to that system.

I’m pretty sure that TA uses regex pattern matching to catch a lot of common misspellings and variant spellings, but as he explained he still has to examine the wrong answers to see if there’s something he missed.

Only finished second in the Steam Era Railroading 1DS! Well, I'm actually more of a fan of diesel-era railroading anyway.

I've already bemoaned my decision to sign up for 3 MiniLeagues with the idea I might learn something. I don't mind finishing last but there is a baseball rule about making a farce of the game that ought to come in play.

I'm not sure what the point of this post is, but after 7 days in the 21sr Century Movies ML, I have ONE correct answer (I got lucky with a WAG for "UP"). The rest of the group averages 16 TCA, from 5 TCA to 33 TCA.

My status? SIXTH PLACE :o .

Now I know how Trump won :lol: .

The last thing I thought before clicking on the Andrew Lloyd Webber 1-Day was, I should probably look up the name of that horrible sequel to Phantom of the Opera. Lol, yup, I sure shoulda!

Congrats to Morbeedo on our tie yesterday in the Movies ML. Nearly a mirror match too! My brain gave me Wexu and Welcome to MooseWOOD, neither of which were close enough.

I had The Birdcage (1996!) as Hackman’s last film. Never even heard of Moosewood
