That was intresting to read there.  However, I have a slight problem with the bowl games question under Streaks.  The question was looking for a range of a "few" games.  Ken said 25 when the actual answer was 22.  That word "few" is ambiguous because it doesn't speciffically define an actual range to shoot for.  What if he'd said 40 & was STILL considered correct?  That's where my slight beef with that question is.  Otherwise, all the questions were OK.

Three isn't a few?  Sounds like it to me.  So, Craig, as usual, your 'point' makes no sense.

On another note, I thought Ken handled the specialized sports material well.  It's unfair to say "Hah!  Ken only got one of ten right!"  In a category he admits to being poor at.
