They said the category was Sports, but it was a math question masquerading as sports. Something about how if some marathon of several thousand miles (that's some marathon) had a winning time of whatever it was how many miles per hour.

I read the question again carefully, narrowed it to two, clicked the one I thought was closest and prayed. Yay, it was right! It took almost 14 seconds so I didn't get many bonus points, but I got it right and was very proud of myself!

Big deal, all you mathletes say, but when a dyslexic tries to do arithmetic in their head it looks like something resembling numerical alphabet soup. Ha!

A question


When we count BBs on the leader bored, do we include Dunadan even though he hasn't posted in about 5 years?

Once a BB, always a BB

Only if it's the same Dunadan. I'm thinking he had different numbers.

Which I remember only because I seem to recall that he had an interest in Ripperology and we had a conversation about it once.

I remember that his handle was a misspelling of Dunaden from the LOTR. While the number is different, my guess is it is the same person.
