> 2: I’m the wrong person to ask this… My office is decorated with a binary clock, an assortment of Rubic’s cubes and similar puzzles, a Lego TIE fighter, a plasma sphere, a jigsaw-puzzle globe, a Klein bottle, an evil-eye talisman… But I figure a family picture is a safe enough guess.

I have switched jobs or been promoted 4 times in the last year and a half and realized that I don’t have a single personal decoration but I have a old calendar someone left me.☹  
I gotta do some decorating…

:dubious: You don’t believe it.  
:rolleyes: You can redo the math yourself and see who you get.

No **Twicks** , you were 49th, I’ll go ahead and score this one this evening. No plans tonight.

If someone wants to have a feud run, post one! or PM me and I’ll post it. Make it easy. If it’s complicated, I will leave it alone. One word answers work best.

Mr. 1 2 (ichini) is way over his head. This was a seriously flawed feud. Even Worm could have been in the top 45 or so.

By the way, the category for question 1 was “something with a spring in it”, not “something that flashes”. You have it wrong in your list of answers, which really confused me for a moment.
