On a complete and meaningless technicality, would 500 really be the top score? If someone managed to get 10/10 top answers, that question’s score would be raised to reflect the additional person answering, wouldn’t it?

Ouch, #36? Friggin’ Gala apples did me in – shouldn’t’ve done this feud right after getting home from grocery shopping.

The proper name of the apple variety (as opposed to the computer) is McIntosh (with no “a”), btw. Just to be tedious.

Don’t get all meta on me…

😃

500 is the highest possible score based on the top answers given in post 64. (If you added them all together, and multiplied by 2.)

To make this feud topical, I’ll note that the McIntosh apple was discovered two hundred years ago this month.
