- If you had 2 of the 3 best scores of the day wouldn't it be mathematically impossible not to win? -- nm - Max Feb 13, 19:09 3
  - Not if the one you don't have is the highest of the day -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 19:09 1
    - oh, it's right there in print and my eyes added "2 out of 3" -- nm - Max Feb 13, 19:15

    - Oh wow I didn't see the picture. That is a lot of exercise going up and down stairs -- nm - BAcon Feb 13, 18:10 2

For something to be way more interesting, it would have to be the least bit interesting to begin with. -- nm - David Feb 13, 17:00 2
