He chose life as his scale and this is about as short as it gets

Not going over 4

I'd be down for 3. Are we thinking the clue is adjusted in a sense to short lifespan - long lifespan? Cause in that case obv 1-2....I would think we'd still get a conceptual clue or something if this is really a 1 - fine on 3 if someone else wants to bold it.

LOLeanor if this is 1.

It does have some equity for 2. Don't know if it's more or less than the equity for 4.

These live for a day or two I think. Eleanor chose time as a scale so a 1 would have to be at most about a second I imagine. That leaves 2 as a few minutes, 3 as a few hours and 4 as a few days maybe? I think I like higher if 3 is incorrect, it could be 2 but it's never 1 imo.

Not not 3.

Thus it is 3!

Good job team!

It’s the shortest lifespan of any animal but it’s hard to categorize short to long and knee you wouldn’t guess 1. 2-4 seemed where you’d be and hoped you split the middle

Excellent clue. Def seemed like 3 was most likely then 4 then 2 and nothing else was really possible.

Seems easy enough

Still can’t say more than 3 here; they live like a day

Considered this and thought
1) it’s boring, I wanted something more interesting game wise.
2) there’s obviously measurements less than a mm so it’s never a 1.

Mainly chose my thing based on 1)

I mean, you picked something where 2,3, and 4 were the only options in which case they should always pick 3 (maximizes point EV and gives the other team a guess when it’s wrong), so seems like you picked a perfect clue there

I don't think I've ever met anyone who can do that- its obviously over. But- real talk- its a professional gymnast move. I imagine lots of people can do it.

Its not surreal, its not aliens, its not whacky. Its something you can train for.

So I'm ranging 15-18

I like what Dr. Zeus says, but I tend towards the lower end here, ie 15-16 rather than 17-18. You have to try really hard to do this, but is not an anomaly. Awesome and extraordinary are different things.

I don't know much about gymnastics but I wouldn't be surprised if putting your leg up at a 180° angle and balancing a ball on your foot is something you need to train years for to achieve, especially with perfect posture which she seems to have. This is also a picture of someone competing in the Olympics. I'm thinking this is very high, like a 18/19.

Good job, eleanor!

I had mankini typed out but the red squiggle panicked me and I went with y fronts which are basically men’s underwear similar to budgie smugglers.

I said nothing after that whole major international error.

Think I’m 7-0 in the next two clues

More and more going lower on the scale. Extraordinary things on the top ene are going to be super difficult to exist. It's not extraordinary things humans do, like the picture implies, its extraordinary everything.

This is a legit super hard personal success story that shows shes an extraordinary athlete. But like life existing and you being a part of it is more extraordinary.

All of that I think 16.
