The professor said it was no problem and to just bring a copy of it to the make-up exam. Apparently, I left the copy too close to my pet hamster’s cage and he had dragged it in and chewed the edges. Unfortunately, the paper was folded a couple times so that when you opened it up, there were sections missing in the middle. The professor did accept it, but I’m not so sure about my explanation as to why there were areas of missing text chewed out of it.:rolleyes: ---

\ I’m working on the scores. It’s the different wording that makes this kind of game difficult to edit. There might be only 4 general answers, but 50 ways to say it. The next feud will be an easy one (for me!), guaranteed! 🙂 ---

It did, indeed. 🙂 I got about halfway done last night, and I meant to forward the spreadsheet to work, since I have to work on my day off, as I did yesterday. I have a freakin’ deadline hanging over my head. I forgot to email the spreadsheet. Be patient. ---
