Crap!

#8 - was thinking minister to mean "prime minister" and not "preacher")

I thought the same thing, so I answered Tony Blair. Badly worded question IMO. It wasn't even reported in the media that I heard that Huckabee had played during his appearance, unlike Bill Clinton's performance on Arsenio.

I was also thinking "prime minister" but I compounded the error with a brain freeze trying to remember Blair's name. D'oh!

18 wrong. I'm a non-passer. The only ones I'm really burned about are:

didn't read category; this happenned to me twice, for rhyme time & angle Q; I recouped on rhyme time in time (I think), but didn't know the angle Q was a "category contains" Q until I read recap right now.

brain farting on a couple of names, the most notable "Huckabee".

brain farting on the grammar Q. This really hurts, since the narration in "Star Dreck" makes this one kinda famous

There were a few more I "coulda got right if I had the time", but these 3 alone are the difference between passing & failing.

Caro! Come sit next to me on the Group W bench! AKA the "Marley Hates Us" Club.

Sheesh! I make one little pro forma comment about what I "have" to do and you never let it go.

Dude, it's a joke!

Besides, one man's pro forma is another's never let it go. Unless you're just taking the piss, because you of all people sheeshing somebody else about never letting something go is pretty amusing.

Dang, I missed something.

Who had time to notice the category and factor that into their answer? I typed in "liver" and then sat there puzzling over what else they could possibly want.

I think I caught this one just in the nick of time, but on the "angle Q" I just kept staring at the Q & saying to myself "they've given you '90 degrees', they've called it a 'right angle', what other name could it possibly have?"

It didn't even occur to me that this was a "contains the syllable" Q until I read the recap just now.

Happens to me when I play along with the real show, too. Nothing makes sense until I realize its the category that's the additional clue. I always figure "well, the players can see the category written right up there, while we at home usually can't". Uh huh.

Last night, it was written right within that teeny little square.

Yup. I forgot it was there till about six questions in. Wouldn't have helped with those first ones, but definitely did on some later ones.

Just not enough.

After reading the questions, I think I got 33 of them right-I hope they count my almost-typed in"Project Runway"-time ran out on me during that one.


Now, I am wondering if I did good enough to pass or if I should wait until next year-or if by some miracle the Brain Bus shows up, can I go there?

With all the current events questions, I bet they're looking for (gag) younger contestants.

I think I got 34 right.
