The only trans-Atlantic flight I’ve been on was about 13 hours, but that was JFK to Athens, Greece.

I think it’s interesting that, for now, most people are responding with winter Olympic sports, even though the question doesn’t specify summer or winter games.

I immediately thought basketball, but I figured winter events are on people’s minds right now, so I went with a winter event. I want to win this dammit!

Yeah, I think the people who have done the other shows are getting the hang of it and replying with “intent-to-win” - the cheese and hospital show questions in particular are the most obvious symptoms (I mean, really, ER was SO five-years-ago, and there are at LEAST three wildly popular hospital shows right now - and everyone says ER?). Whomever does the next thread may need to think of a few more ‘curveballs’ 🙂
