BAH!

My first thought for the scientific unit was angstrom, but I thought a lot of people would think that too, and then I was unwittingly part of the 3/8 unsuited hivemind in the grand finale.

19th isn't too bad for a noob though.

I don't think the coat of arms is part of the flag. And of course the coat of arms is displayed on the flag at the palace because official flags show the coat of arms.
I think it's actually illegal in most countries to own a flag with the coat of arms on it because these flags are reserved for official use. Of course this is not enforced (at least I think over here it's illegal but noone cares)

No Gauguin? I think some dude bought two including one Gaugin for like 100 million and each was priced at 50 by the insurance company.

Pretty sure if you asked random Germans, at best 2% would know him (and the candy bar is not sold here afaik)

also, someone explain how climb ryhmes. I can't make it work :P

This was a pretty awesome RS, liked the questions. Thx AJ
I think I officially prefer RS over sheep now

Wooooohooooooooo!

This is kinda funny since I said this in my PM to Alex:

Quote:

(Good questions, but a little too America-centric tbh. The Chocolate/Nielsen/Emmy/MLB questions forces non-Americans to go with super-obvious choices, and a few of the other questions favors Americans as well [ie. US state/cigarette brand], and not much to balance it with non-US friendly questions. But anyway, this sounds whiny, I appreciate the effort and unless you're named nich it's all just for fun anyway.

)

Going with the obvious definitely paid off on the MLB question, and avoiding incorrects >>>> getting top 3-4 answers in this sheep.

I take back all my words Alex. Excellent questions and thanks for running!

So, I went back and counted. 8 of my 16 answers was in the top 3, but none of them won. That's kinda running good...

I know...good game. (at least I can point to the RS League Standings thread and obnoxiously say "Scoreboard!")

thanks AJ, and congrats ZT!

cu-lim-buh and ruh-why-me, imo.

I love reverse sheep when you sneak in a lovely answer that you only thought of because of the Simpsons (see: Curie, Marie).
