@dethwing nope but it seriously only took me 5 minutes and I had to search through my inbox you can search your sent box. The answer is in there somewhere Im sure
@mattV yes hints going out in a few minutes
Also starting Thursday i will be on the road. And will definately be out of contact for a week starting Thursday. If any player who has achieved a perfect 10 would mind moding for me that week it would be appreciated. (Scurra, Groza, Zag) |

yep after you said you thought you had it. I double checked. Your scores are all correct.
But I do remember mislabeling update 3 as update 4 so maybe thats the problem you looked at the sub 3 score in comparision to your sub 4 |

| Sorry. I've totally lost track of which ones I've given so far, so just randomize at this point. |

Sent. Sorry for holding up the game. I finally put this in a spreadsheet.
BTW, thanks, dethy, for the last hint. It was a real lynchpin to know that one, because it told me exactly which guesses up till now have been right and wrong. It actually gave me 3 answers I was puzzling over. (That is, assuming the two I am "sure" of are, in fact, correct. But I'm pretty sure.)
Sorry, I can't resist needling. I predict 9/10 for me, or even 10/10 if I get a little luck. |

Submission 1
Sorry for the late update everyone but I am ready to get this game going again. An interesting note. All but one of you gave me the same hint category but several of you missed that category in your submission. Interesting indeed.
Oh and to Zag: No you cant give dethwing his free hint as your hint. He gets that free! so I went with your second option.
On to the scores...
Scurra: 7/10
Dethwing: 7/10
Groza528: 6/10
Zag: 4/ 10
Lexprod: 3/10
MattV: 3/10 |

To assume that everyone reading your words knows your context (that is, that you are an American) is very, umm, American of you.
For the cities one, should be assume that the spelling and capitalization errors are just typos, and that the choices are supposed to include Los Angeles and New York?
Re European Football: You have to admit that, of all sports, it clearly has the highest ratio of (excitement level of highlights) / (excitement level of actual games), but you might be in danger of a divide by zero error.  |

picky picky
Question 2 what division 1-A U.S. college American Football Team has the highest winning percentage and is listed as a choice and has played a minimum of 500 games
Boise State hasnt played enough to be named top win percentage but it doesnt matter AS THEY ARE NOT A CHOICE. last round during the snake question I didnt get angry messages that coastal taipan was not the most venomous snake. It is actually 2nd or 3rd I think. Its inland cousin has the most potent venom. Nor are any of the choices for largest city area actually the largest. These are multiple choice so choose the highest that are on the lists
and on a related note whenever we Americans discuss football we are constantly criticized about not adding American football to it. Why do we have to call it what the Europeans call it. If we say football we mean the NFL variety. If we want to talk about European Football we will say soccer. It just gets annoying. I am not one of your average American idiots that are completely ignorant of the sport the rest of the world plays and watches with the same amount of vigor we Americans use to follow the NFL. I refereed youth soccer for 8 years. (probably the reason I can no longer stand the sport) So unless otherwise stated if I say football I mean the American Version and If I say Soccer I mean the European version.
Sorry that rant went on a bit more than I meant to. The rest of my family adores soccer and so every time the world cup comes around I have to endure a summer full of speeches by my brothers and dad as to why Soccer outclasses football in every concievable way.
OK results coming shortly |

| I wish that question had said "US" somewhere in it. Although the answers imply that it is talking about American Football, it's still slightly sloppy wording. |

100% * (games won) / (games played)
What else? (I can imagine excluding bowl games or not, but without having said so, the default would be not to.)
(... and seriously? You can know the different correct answers for different interpretations without looking up the stats somewhere?) |

| To be fair, I think you need to rephrase the football question. There's at least 3 different ways it could be interpreted giving 3 different answers. |
