Yes, thanks! Not my best score ever, but not my worst either. That was fun. ---

12th out of 41 isn’t too bad, it looks like the reverse-reverse-psychology worked out. ---

Tied for 10th, I’ll take that. Thanks for a fun game! ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] and where is Winnipeg, my unique answer? Please correct my score! [/QUOTE] Unique, and wrong. [Winnipeg](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg) is the capitol city of Manitoba. You might be happier if you don’t get your full credit for that answer. 😛 ---

That was a fun game. I didn’t do as well as I hoped, but it was challenging. Thanks! ---

Nevermind. Good feud and I hope everybody plays next Thursday reverse feud. ---

I thought of Milosz, but I wasn’t sure if he’d be considered “American enough”. I figured Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn would be considered analogous to Kipling – lived in the USA but never truly American. Had I selected Czeslaw, I’d have finished second, but I’ll take the tie for fourth, as well as the satisfaction of having had one unique answer (Issachar). ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] and where is Winnipeg, my unique answer? Please correct my score! [/QUOTE] As someone pointed, out Winnipeg is a city, not a province. I preferred not to embarrass anyone by pointing out errors. ---

[/QUOTE] Considering Kipling wrote the works which he won the award for in the US and his children were born here it seemed a better than average chance of getting allowed since you never said anything about citizenship. Also, I’m kicking myself for not saying University of Chicago for the Big Ten schools. ---

[QUOTE=Omniscient] Also, I’m kicking myself for not saying University of Chicago for the Big Ten schools. [/QUOTE] I think that would be technically wrong, since University of Chicago is not currently “in the Big Ten.” Although, they were a founder of the conference. And it’s nice to actually win a feud for once. I’ve yet to finish above 12th place in any of the others. I typically sit between 12-16.
