IBEAT SWAMPBEAR!!! I BEAT SWAMPBEAR!!!

I mean, ahem,oh gosh, I won! What an unexpected honor! Really, I figured I hadn’t played in a while and figured I’d do poorly.

Great feud. I’m toying with an idea I’m going to send to **Dolores**.

#6 – not bad. The trick was to get the half of the questions with popular answers right – the other half, no points available.

Very fun feud, **brujaja** – and even more kudos than usual for scoring, **Rebo**! That must have been obnoxious.

That’s my lowest score yet (I think).

FWIW, the “best” answers #5 are all delusional. A half hour television program, in the USA, has about 22 minutes of “program” and 8 minutes of ads. Either 25 or 30% is a correct answer. Teach me to give factual answers. Go look for the running times of half hour shows on Hulu if you don’t believe me.

That was not the question. How much time is OK for commercials is the question. The answer should be zero. But realistically i was willing to give 3 min. or 10 percent.

D’oh, I stand corrected.
