Sploofus gave me an extra question today

That certainly helps in the rankings department.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I also had a double dip yesterday. And both of my question were cupcakes in the music category.

I had a cow chip in my music category. Song title, and I had to identify which Uriah Heep album it was from. Yeah, right. A 9.0% correctness.

In Dallas, it wouldn't have been counted, because I did not increase the average.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I also had 2 Qs yesterday. Not that it makes much difference. After cracking the top 100 a couple of times in July, I'm not even in the top 1,000 this month.

Like the extra Q helped me.

So far this month I had a vocab Q where I knew none of the answers. So, naturally, I went for speed the next day & selected the wrong answer, seeing the right one right after I hit the button.

The next day, I actually thought the answer was something different than it was. I didn't feel too bad, it being in the 12-15% range.

Now we get an extra question. Knowing it right away, I second guess myself, getting it wrong.

That was so much fun, I did it again this morning.

See you in September.

I wondered what the deal was with questions. I was out of town recently and didn't play Qs in order so I wasn't really keeping track but it didn't seem right.

I'm not sure which was the extra one but I got a Potpourri question yesterday that I'm not sure I'd get right with 4 guesses.

Still doing OK this month.

My apologies, 'gor. I will not assume any MM secret identities in the future.

Not out loud, anyway.

I just assume that every single poster is a completely different person. That way I don't have to try to figure out who is who.

Because I couldn't.

I've always been completely different. That's the problem.

Boy do I feel jipted.

Best I can tell, I only got one Q.

At least it was a gimme.
