Yeah, but I have a hard time picturing Sheldon at a school that dedicates so many funds to the *social *sciences.
She presumably wouldn’t ask Sheldon here and now if she’d asked him about it some other time – and so long as his answer wasn’t likewise about always getting stuck on the trying-to-find-someone-to-be-on-a-team-with-me stage, she’d of course say “I” when relaying that comment; saying “we” would make no sense.

Scavenger hunts at Harvard were really tough. I always got stuck on the first challenge: trying to find someone to be on a team with me.
{Starts to chuckle, trails off.}
I guess that story’s more “sad” than “funny”.

I had a hard time believing they could put a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle together in just a few minutes. I did like Amy and Howard though. “To the Neil Mobile!!”
Did they say it was 1000 pieces? Those little boxes are typically smaller puzzles, like 250.
AFF said something like “I loved puzzles when I was growing up. My mother said it’s like having a thousand little friends.” But nothing about the size of the puzzle they were doing at the time.
Nah, I was just guestimating. I could be way off.
Competitive Bernie was a mean hoot. Paraphrased because I don’t have an edemic memory:
“You don’t have to break for birds. They fly, you know!”
“Are you gonna cry? Because I have tissues in my purse. If you don’t have any in yours.”
“You big . . . willow tree.”
Yeah, hilarious!
Harvard is, arguably, the second finest college in the whole of Cambridge.
Except that it was Howard who mocked Princeton, not Sheldon. Sheldon merely explained the insult to the group. 
I followed Sheldon’s explanation of how the rhyming clue led him to the geology lab perfectly… but I didn’t get how Penny figured out the final piece of the puzzle until my wife explained it to me. I guess my musical education was deficient; I don’t recognize a Rolling Stones poster when I see one.
BTW, is Stuart’s comic book shop just named “The Comic Book Store?” That’s what everyone calls it. Most of the shops I know put a little more creativity into their names, or at least include the owner’s name in the store’s. But maybe that’s a comment on Stuart’s level of imagination.
The coordinates to the bowling alley (34.1516, -118.0767) really do point to a Pasadena bowling alley.
Funny you should mention that. Last night was the first time I noticed that Stuart’s counter has a sign on the front edge with a URL to the store’s web site: www.thecomiccenter.com. The site says the store is called The Comic Center of Pasadena, and the online store is closed
Decent episode. I didn’t like bitchy Bernadette. I like her as a character. This wasn’t part of what I like.
I’ve organized something kinda like that hunt before - I enjoyed that part of it.
\Sheldon “It’s ‘eidetic’ . . . you haven’t got an eidetic memory.” /Sheldon
I thought the wolverine in a steel cage persona was well and fully realized, LOL!
" . . . because you were just about to quit like a big SHELDON COVER YOUR EARS!!!"
Smiley-face aside, Sheldon in fact endorses the sentiment. “That’s amusing; I was going to say that about MIT, but it works for Princeton too.”
Bitchiness aside, Bernadette looked better than usual in this episode imo. This season in general.
Sheldon is from Texas. Maybe he went to their famed Institute of Technology (and had no clue why his mother wouldn’t let him wear his t-shirt with it’s initials on it).
I wished they had put crazy Bernadette with Sheldon, and every time he did his
Sheldon thing she would have given him a swift kick in the gazongas. At the end of the show he would be crawling on hands and knees into the apartment.
Princeton did have both Einstein and Godel at their Institute for Advanced Study. But of course Leonard is not a theorist.
We’ve seen this side of Bernadette before. Howard married a true Mrs. Wolowitz.
I’m reminded of Penny bitching about not getting to be Cinderella when the three girls had Disney makeovers. I believe Bernie’s exact words were “Come at me. See what happens.”
