Good luck 1972Shocker!

[1972Shocker]

Same to you.

[1972Shocker]

BTW ShockerDropOut I have to commend you and also give myself a pat on the back for the outsanding Pick 'Em Contest strategy that we both so adroitly employed.

The contestants in Game 1 have a 1 in 5 chance of advancing and the contestants in Games 2 and 4 have a 1 in 6 chance of advancing. You and I on the other hand have a 1 in 2 chance of advancing. Simply brilliant. Maybe we should compare the algorythms we so painstakingly applied to make this happen.

[ShockerDropOut]

Just between you and me 1972Shocker , I employed the top secret "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while" algorythm. Shhhhhhhh, keep that one quiet if you would. :smile-new:

[1972Shocker]

You spying SOB. You stole my secret.

[ShockerDropOut]

That made me LOL!
