Re The Tournament Quizzes

Well, I want to apologize to my teammates for not paying enough attention to the time limits. Math/Science should have been my strongest quiz.

Sorry.

Re The Tournament Quizzes

*sniff, sniff* Methinks your apology smells somewhat disengenuous looking at the scores so far, Mr. JP. *poke, poke*



I'm still eager to find out what I got wrong on the lit quiz 'cause I felt fairly confident about those. The math and science one made my eyes glaze over. I think I'll go back to working on subtraction facts with the Dominator.

Re The Tournament Quizzes

It's OK, JP. I ran out of time on the math/science one too.

Re The Tournament Quizzes

I work in the "math and science" field. I think my teammates could have reasonably expected a better performance. That's all I meant.

Owie! I'm being poked.

JP...

Thank you for doing so pitifully in math and science. As a writer, I can now rationalize how I managed to do so pitifully in grammar and vocabulary.

Re The Tournament Quizzes

Can we do fun stuff like chord progressions and old science fiction next?

This was ha-ard.

Re The Tournament Quizzes

Oh yeah. The 1970s Geek Challenge.

That would bring them to EA in droves.

Looks like we're just waiting on team Banana and team Elderberry. Did you guys have fun with this so far? Will you want to do another one in 3 months?

Yep, this was fun Amy. Maybe you can have one of your "friends" run it so you can play next time.

Re The Tournament Quizzes

The math was fun too, but would 3 minutes have been too much to ask?

I don't think 3 weeks would have helped me.

Bananas, you need to nag your team member to get the quizzes done so I can award the prize.
