Beautiful work, RachelChristine!
Whee! Thanks muchly for the work with the tallying, RachelChristine, and great fun with the thread idea, Zeldar. I’m not usually a big one for “game” type threads, but this is cool stuff 
Something went a bit kerflooey with the numbers here, I think. I’m assuming the 141 for KeithT and me is a typo, since if it’s correct we placed higher than several people who outscored us. Just out of curiosity, what’s the real number?
(And let me add my thanks to Rachel for the tallying!)
Sorry, that was a typo. The correct score is 145.
