oh, i see i’m too late! ah well i like playing anyway

62

Sorry guys. I tried to score it, left the computer, and my answers list ended up being erased. To keep from going homicidal, I decided to leave it be instead of trying to start over, and just hope that the thread would fade into nothing more than a distant MPSIMS memory. Unfortunately, it hasn’t. So I’ll be along with the scores, I promise, but things have an annoying habit of coming up today, so I can’t promise it will be incredibly soon.

63

You tease!

64

This thread ain’t getting lost so easily, Hostile Dialect.

65

Easy, folks. Since I promised answers, I’ve been swamped with supplemental college transfer applications (“Our admissions department doesn’t feel like figuring out which of your 88.5 semester units transfer to our campus and adding them up; why don’t you go ahead and do it for them?”) and a heaping helping of random oddities popping up left and right, all at exactly the worst time for the Trivial Feud players on the edges of their seats. I shall calculate thine scores presently; be patient, and I’ll be back in the next few minutes.

66

Wow, twice in a row now I placed fifth! Awesome!

70

Doh, you get 3 points for saying “pass” on the changed-name capital, and none for Oslo? I shake my northern fist in y’all’s general direction… :stuck_out_tongue:

71

Another top five finish!

72

Woo! Not last!

73

I’m pretty sure both I and the game had a record low score in this one. :smack:

74

Yay! Number six. A dramatic leap upward in the table. - And I didn’t even get scored for Mumbai/Bombay in question five.

75

w00t! Seventh!!!

76

Just about in the middle, about 22 places up from where I could realistically have expected to place.
