If only I'd picked Highlands to win it all instead of Ballard....

[Runcible Owl]

The results look sus to me. Remember, pops still makes his own clay tablets and ciphers with a sharpened stick. His math education predates the concept of the number "zero" and he considers an abacus "high tech." Just sayin'.

As a result, I strongly, strongly urge everyone to check their scores for accuracy.

You assertions may have some merit. 

Upun further mathematical investigation, I find that you actually scored a negative six.

And upon even further review, I find two more issues. 

In my advanced state of doddering senility, I neglected to include one of the scores.  That egregious error has been rectified, as I have now mastered the art of counting to 31..

Additionally, I can't spell "upon" correctly on the first pass.  And it's not that my vocabulary isn't replete with four-letter words.  I have no excuse.

Thanks for running the contest @mcpapa!

Congrats @ColonelMike!

You are most welcome. Your kind words - something that rarely emanate from the Thumbs of Parker - are appreciated.

Aw, shucks. 

[Can'tcoach]

Thanks for running the contest. It was enjoyable for me until it wasn't. At first glance I thought you had omitted me. Wish you had. I would have done fine if you had allowed mulligans.

It's unbecoming of you to further highlight ColonelMike's victory over DragonFire & AiryardGo.
