It’s 100 characters in case anyone cares.

A request for another SDMB test?
OK. Why not?
Having failed previous tests [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20811039&postcount=6) and [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20949900&postcount=2), perhaps it is time to see if any posters at the SDMB can pass the simplest of all tests: Matching.
And thematically, this test goes well with the OP. Can you match the “characters” (SDMB posters) with their appropriate thread titles?

Looks like a lot of SDMB posters are matching … F…as in fail.

No **Sage Rat** , that is not correct. Your sagacity is well known, but there is another thread title that is a better link for you.
Try again. The great thing about a matching test is that every one you get right will then make it easier to match the others!

The best test results from the best students will determine whether the SDMB is passed or forever within the fiery pit of failure. You students can solve these tests! Believe.

There are some real characters on this Board. More than 100, I’d wager.

And yet I wasn’t able to come up with a 17th poster/thread title to thematically match. I ran out of ideas at 16. :dubious:

And well done to you!
I think this was the only unsolved test puzzle left on ATMB. You can probably see why there were only 16 names. I couldn’t come up with another!

I lost mine at 17. No, wait, or was that my virginity?
