I make mistakes. It doesn't happen that often, but I can't always be perfect. The high tech system that I use to check the Trivia answers is as follows: I write the correct answers in a column. Then I write everyone's answers in columns next to it. Then I check the answers and put a giant X on the wrong ones. Then I count the number wrong and subtract that from 20 to get the total number right. So you can see all of the room for error. I could write the correct answers wrong. I could copy the participants' answers incorrectly. I can be off with my counting (sadly... I went up to calculus 4 and this is still possible). Or I could F up the subtraction. Today's results were a combination of things.
I wrote down three of Theresa's answers wrong so they were all marked with a giant X. I corrected them, but two of them still get X's. She goes from 11/20 correct to 12/20 correct. So she is in second to last place instead of last place. She still kinda suck.
Kristin... Oh Kristin. I made a counting error with you. In honing my higher education skills, I think I lost track of the basics, like counting from one to ten. I had credited you with having 11/20 right. Well...you got 10/20 right. I won't comment further cause I don't want to scare you away from Trivia Thursdays. My sister on the other hand, I can be as mean as I want to be and she has to love me forever. It's family law. I just know that you are going to kick some major ass next week.
Abbie and Mary, I got all your numbers right so you are still tied for first place. You can have a tug of war with your prize (I thought it was music trivia appropriate):
