New game over here

Anyone who’s willing to run one of these games is a hero to us all. I just love playing them.

I could have broke 400 but I overthought it. My initial response to #4 was Mike Wallace but the point was to try to guess what answer other people would give and I figured Dan Dather was better known and would be the more popular choice.

Wow, I am so good at this game. :frowning:

I wonder if I can get last place next time.
