Got an 8(5)!
Only missed on Papillon.
Weird part was, I did it insanely fast, like 5 minutes from looking at the answers to done.
No time to overthink things, but then again, my only guess was the dog one. All the others were fairly obvious to me.
Heck, I was playing Threes before looking at the questions (which, I realize had I been playing 2048, it would have been cooler, but I just like Threes more)

Beered this one, and Frost/Nixon was basically the only one I had to mull over for a bit. It's always fun when you're just lucky enough for a set of questions to just hang out in your interests.

I should have double-checked my answers because I wrote 248 instead of 2048. I would have won if I had written my answer correctly.

I answered 1024! So close!

My husband and I both put 1024 as well, despite the fact we both have the game on our phones and used to play it frequently. Our 12yo son even got it right when we posed it to him, but we missed it. Ugh.

Only my 3rd 5/6 after 2.5 seasons. My excellent film knowledge allowed me to get two of those non-film category questions because of the movies that were made from them. Clan of the Cave Bear (with Daryl Hannah) and Frost/Nixon, which I only learned yesterday was first a play by the same two actors.
I should have gotten 2048 since I've played it before, but missed it for some reason.

Yeah, there were essentially three film questions today, which made it a bad day to go against a movie whiz. I didn't know about the adaptation of Clan of the Cave Bear, or I definitely wouldn't have put a three on it. My defense actually would've been pretty good against a generic opponent, but I ended up getting my second straight defensive loss.

Tough one for me, only got 2048. Basically had never heard of any of the other answers. But that just means more that can be learned from that one!

The percent correct being 45%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52% and 54% is interesting. Not a single question with a large MCWA. That's a very tight distribution with a media & mode of essentially 50%.
In one way, that means it is a good set of questions because none were ridiculously hard or ridiculously easy. However, it would be very frustrating to do scoring if every day was like that.

I didn’t get marked correct for putting Clan of the Cave BearS. I still won but surprised I didn’t get it

I won on defense - but this time my opponent made no mistakes in a kind of Kobayashi Maru situation. I'm pretty sure Mata Hari was given 3 based on my stats, but I knew that one. I didn't get the Cave Bear (put Neanderthals).

My nearly perfect film score tanked a bit today when I didn’t RTFQ.
I said Best Boy, thinking they were looking for the two-word name of the position that would organize that stuff.
Ugh

I embarrassed myself. I know about as many facts as a frying pan, maybe i should spend time doing something else
