Bricker, let me point out that the true qualities of a commander include never admitting that you’re wrong.

I think that :pOmniscient 😛 should be disqualified if for no other reason than his feeble attempt to protect his ridiculous “Hey, Mabel” answer. :rolleyes:

Not that of course, I would mind losing this contest! :mad:

By the way, I hope, Omniscient, that you realize I was kidding. I agree with you that you should get credit for question 29. Which means (sob) that you should probably be declared the winner (wail).

OK, I knew the Hey Mabel! quote was a long shot…a very long shot…but shit, it was worth a try. Anyways, the math problem was right, and that leaves Arnold an I tied, and based on the precedent in Bricker Challenge #3 I posted first and therefore win the tie break.

Arnie, no hard feelings. And remember there is nothing wrong with second, just ask the Titans. 😉

After further review, the play call on the field is reversed.

Omni is now declared the winner of Bricker Challenge #2.

Congrats, Omni, on your second win. You need to let me know what beer you want!

I had intended to give these a rest, but in light of this development I believe it is only fair to announce one more round. Look for it next!

Thank you on behalf of all the little people who have made this possible.
