Hahahaha, 24th to 4th!

Now that I'm in contention, I might have to start bitching about that Pilgrim's Progress snub.

You were actually tied with others. More than 15 people suffered through a Reverse Sheep Equalizer last round.

One of your links linked back to the Wikipedia article which I used as a source, which doesn't show Pilgrim's Progress.

I should've just withdrawn from this one after the II Chronicles fuck up. I'd say on at least half the questions, I've done as poorly as possible. Pathetic.

The winners are losers! The losers are winners!

There's now four rounds left to go! Can the best players claw back on top?

We'll see
