Honestly that was way too easy a question. All you needed was a super basic understanding of the speed of light and square roots. Not at all surprised at the low amount of money lost that round.

Here's the thing though. If Xander hadn't posted that hint AND the legend of what each symbol meant, that would have been a proper rd5 I bet. (still wouldn't have lost any money tho

Yea I should have known R&J was a red herring. Seemed way too obvious. Answered it because I bet on Xander making another mod misstep

oh well

I studied both macbeth and R+J and didn't recognize the line. Figured I'd be fine hedging on R+J just in case my memory failed me and there is only 2 questions left.

I actually completed missed reading the part that said "last line of which play" or I would have gone all in on Othello. Whoops.

Nah, that's not a good strategy for me. I'm not as smart as a lot of these guys so when I get this far with a decent chunk of money I think I need to yolo most of the time until I get a decent lead or something.

Gah, nvm. Yeah I forgot. Sunday's grind day :/.
Although I would probably have gone out anyway, so not so bad.
Idk what I would have done, maybe split on R&J + maybe Macbeth, just because it sounded somewhat Scottish, but didn't think that was the last line in it.

Yeah Romeo and Juliet seemed too obvious to be correct but I had to put half my money on it anyway and then randed the other half between A and C.

would take us way past 6 and therefore it should be clear from this that I don't consider them correct answers.

Question 8 incoming

Hey, sorry to go back to this a bit late but I was just reading through the thread and I always thought Djibouti was a correct answer when people ask this question.
Any reason why you didn't consider it?

EDIT: fml, never mind. Just realized it is called Djibouti City in English (it isn't in Portuguese). Sorry
