I think we'll agree to disagree on that one.

Repeaters are good if you slip them in once and while.....just don't let on that you did

here's the rules:

1. You may only answer ONE question from each set. The first one to arrive gets choice of questions. 12 hours after a set of questions is posted, you may answer another question if any are still open.

2. You can only answer ONCE per 12-hour period. So... if you are WRONG..... that is your go used up. You cannot answer again. For example... if someone answered incorrectly, they would be frozen out until the set is opened up for multiple guesses or until the next set is posted. This is to give people offline at the time a chance. The same applies if you answer correctly and just get beaten to the answer.

3. No editing of posts ... even for typos... as we don't know what has been edited. An edited post will be void... and could you PLEASE number your answer, so there is no ambiguity over which one you are answering? Thank you.

I think the rules are clear enough. if there are any disputes, I will be judge, jury and executioner.
