Missing question 1 was really a brain fog. Question 2... okay never heard of any of the three things. But a wild flailing at question three.

Dang auto-correct. I actually got question 4 on the third guess but my phones auto correct modified the actual name I spelled correctly. Well now I know spelling counts.

Yikes. I was wondering if spelling mattered. I’ve noticed a few times that I had a minor variation from the way Thrice presented the answer – singular versus plural, maybe a second word. So far I’ve been lucky and those were accepted. It might be similar to Crosshare where the creators can enumerate a list of valid answers? I think there were a couple of times I mis-speeled a name, but in those instances it was the wrong name anyway lol.

LOL talk about not learning my lesson. I had question for 4 correct on the first guess, but got undoubtedly the same auto-correct @woozy did 😆. Dang drunken elf!

(The speel-correct discussion directed me to choose between 2 options for #4, so 11 points is a more honest score.)

I sort of wish there were more control to be had over autocorrect. I've been learning languages on Duolingo and Google Translate and I wish there was a way to tell my auto-correct "Look, this is a case were you will never be needed and if you persist you'll just drive yourself to an early grave". Its ever evolving dictionary has now became ... weird and utterly useless. I actually almost prefer this as in corrects less and less[1] and it'd be nice if it gave up. But this attempt at sabotage was thwarted. Last night I tried to type "auto correct" and it transformed "auto" to "aŭto" which was... funny.



(I'm surprised it did this error... if anything I thought it might correct to the Esperanto word for "others")

No worries come the Grand Championship -- I usually average <9. :P

Jackie Robinson was just a tad too early for me, but I did catch Joe DiMaggio as Mr. Coffee so that's where I flubbed.

And on a slightly different note, I was reminded of this - Once at school a charming little three-and-a-half-year old boy looked up at me and earnestly and politely asked: "Do you buy the kind of coffee that has the Chrysler Building on it?" Just the kind of thing that made going in each day such a delight.
