> [@SCAdian](#): > > Note that EH has already been awarded a DQ for Dinsdale Piranha. Hmm… What’s the ruling on this situation? I posted my IQ before EH’s, but EH revealed the correct answer first. I know you don’t earn a DQ for an IQ asked after “Not \_\_\_” has been posted. It is pretty easy for two people to overlap IQs if one doesn’t recognize that the person has already been asked. I’m cool either way. ---

I missed the fact that you had asked first. I’ll let the Prof and EH rule on that – they’ve been playing this game longer than I have. ---
