The cursing on air hook is deja vu for the transcriber; maybe I'm about to do what the Monday transcriber did a couple of weeks ago.

Didn't know an octopus uses its paw to (meow). JTQ, possibly on a repeat as Sprots did on that Monday re-transcript.

I scribble down Triple Nine Society as the correct answer and stop transcribing. Yup it's a repeat, I remember that question.

Oops maybe not. I take out my iPhone and search for the prior question to find it is different. I note the question may be ambiguous with its wording, since it appears those with the highest IQ could join any of them. I learn a lesson about high IQ groups that are smarter than Mensa.

This is the one that jarnon mentioned. Seems obvious what they are looking for, but this later prompted me to google and see if Adelaide is the judicial capital or something. No but it is the capital city of the state of South Australia.

Then I returned home to find my DVR, set to record only new shows and not repeats, had today as a repeat and therefore did not record the show. Meow!
However I had notes and iPhone screenshots of all the questions.

I know a bit about Australia (more than most people, judging by Friday's Fireball question), so I know Adelaide's in Australia, but I'm sure the capital is Canberra. If I were playing, I hope I'd have the sense to ask for clarification and not just pick another country. Cedric explained later that Adelaide's the capital of South Australia.

Except for that question, this would have been a great stack for me.

Pine Nut Syndrome woulda been my guess, but I would never have gone for it. JTQ 2.

I've heard of the Triple Nine Society - they take people in the 99.9 percentile. "One-in-a-million" led me to "mega".

Adelaide isn't the capital of any country, which threw me for a bit.

Erin said several times that she was a risk-taker. As for me, I'd JTQ.

This is a terrible question, which offends viewers in the United States capital city of St. Paul.

If I went along with that idea, my neighbors would think that a herd of cats were in my house, every time I watch the show.

It is a capital city. It's not where the national capitol is though.

Did you not understand the post to which you responded? That was exactly the Confessor's point.

Why do you always think I'm arguing with the previous posts?

Where did you get that I said you were arguing with it? You reiterated it while adding nothing to it. I thought you didn't understand what he was saying.
