> [@Baker](#): > > \*If \*I’ve counted correctly then the entry made by **The Tof** is #49. Correct. I’ve decided that if you were specific, that’s how it gets counted. King’s pawn up two spaces. Queen’s pawn up two spaces. Pawn up two spaces. Knight to bishop 3. Those are the answers (through **astorian**.) Plus a multitude of passes. > [@robardin](#): > > After 73 replies it’s probably closed, but the title isn’t, so… The mods can’t change thread titles right now, so try all threads. Ya never know! This has been a particularly chatty Feud, too. ---

For #6 (I know my answer is dumb, but its the only thing I could think of that made sense): What is ‘horseshoes’? I’m guessing this is something that just didn’t make it across the Atlantic, because I have _never_ heard of it! ---

I’m guessing this is something that just didn’t make it across the Atlantic, because I have _never_ heard of it! I’m sorry, you’re too late for this game! We cut off at 50. [Horseshoes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoes) is a game where you toss an actual metal horseshoe at a small post stuck in the ground. You get points for being closest to the post, or getting a “ringer” or a “leaner.” ---

> [@bluecanary](#): > > What is ‘horseshoes’? I’m guessing this is something that just didn’t make it across the Atlantic, because I have _never_ heard of it! Um… the game started [over your way](http://www.horseshoepitching.com/gameinfo/history.shtml), not here. Anyway, drunk people pound a pair of stakes into the ground, then throw horseshoes at them. If you get close enough to the stake, you earn points. See [here](http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-play-horseshoes-198760/) for particulars. ---

And the winner is ~~~drumroll~~~ **42fish**!!! Way to go! ::flings confetti:: **42fish** got 8/10 right, and perfect score was 532. I finally got into the top ten again! Thanks all, and thanks **tdn**! Next one later tonight. We are so lucky to have power and AC. The poor people across the street don’t have power, and we’re having an impromptu block party. Grilling up some chicken, sausage and ribs, and I made potato salad, baked beans and cornbread. Later! \*\*1. 42fish 508.00 \*\* 2. Sternvogel 504.00 3. HongKongFooey 484.00 4. MsWhatsit 480.00 5.
