#6 – a personal best.

Excellent game – thanks for running it, 5 time champ.

The King of Saudi Arabia and the King of Jordan are both named Abdullah.

There were four answers with Abdullah. Two were generic Abdullahs, one was of Jordan, one was Saudi Arabia. I don’t think it would have been fair to group all the Abdullahs together since they were talking about different kings. Now had there been two plain old Abdullahs and just one Abdullah of Saudi Arabia I would have grouped all three together.

I guess it is like the judging on Jeopardy! if you give too much information they will mark you wrong.

A to All Things Cosnidered:
Brief backgroung on how I keep score
Copy the answers into Excel
Edit the answers so they are alike for counting
[the players supply answers in different formats eg the Mulva/Delores was answered in about 6 different forms]
Sort the answers
Use the SUBTOTAL function in Excel to automatically count each answer
Cut & paste the subtotals into a summary of all the players

The problem was I didn’t notice the one “All Things Cosnidered” answer until after I had posted the winners.

In the future, I will always post the answers first, before I post the winner. It is a good check & balance.

Well, I am the “All Things Consnired” offender and … meh. Would move me ahead of twickster but if you ain’t first you’re last.

Shake and bake!
