Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

7/12 and 284 Pringles.
Not a great week for me either. I've never heard of some of those people or incidents at all.

8/12, and 360 rusty bus tokens.
Still good enough to beat the "average reader" as well as Slate's sacrificial lamb.

3/12 and 149 bronze medals but I was disqualified for never having heard of any of the answers. So any Canadians can have the medals.

5/12 for 211 bottle caps.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that this guy Ray Hamel tends to put less, yanno, actual real NEWS into the quiz than Ken Jennings used to?

I had a lousy week. The four I knew, I got right. The ones I guessed on I didn't even get 25% right. Shoot, I couldn't even beat the movie critic.
Fuchsia? What are they thinking?

11/12--but slower than Meade...I even missed the same question. 437 chips. (You got poker chips? Hmm. I got stale potato chips.)

I agree, more "news" items rather than celebrity gossip and back-page 'weird happenings' kind of stuff, which is why I got 10/12 and 455 pieces of leprechaun gold ('Harry Potter' reference).
And I also missed the final question.

@ 8/12 and 337, I did much better than last week, but not as well as all a y'all.
