I'm composing this post before I can submit it for MD25 just to give props to the Commish for an awesome final question. The answer for the final question of LL95 is... 95! (XCV)
I was in the final spot for promotion out of Taiga E div2 at the start of the day and played against my elder brother. A tie by us and my sister has a shot at the promotion spot. A double forfeit by us and two losses and my little sister has a shot at the promotion spot. Fun ending, whatever the reveal is in the morning.
In re the binary number question, I screwed up and forgot to start with the units column
. I checked and re-checked the transcription because of the repeated ones digits to make sure I converted the right binary number. I dreaded adding up the 7 numbers until I noticed that the sums of consecutive even exponents add to multiples of ten, as well as the sums of consecutive odd exponents. ( 4+16, 8+32, 16+64, 32+128, etc...). It made the addition so easy, I never got to the fact that I didn't have way to make an odd number. A super question, and I'm going to look back a few seasons and see if all the finales are of this caliber.
Musicians? How about Simon and Garfunkel
. I never heard of Plant or Page until a few years ago. I just looked and recognize two Led Zeppelin song titles.
My best guess for the oldest animated film that was feature length (I assume) was Bambi.
I'm hoping I get credit for just "the Terror", instead of Reign of Terror.
