  - So that is how many Yahoo accounts I need to set up next year to win the ST challenge -- nm - crash had Arizona in the final four Mar 16, 16:27 8
    - Actually I don't know what I'm complaining about. My cat picked Arizona. None of this is my fault -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 16:28 7
      - my coin bracket is doing better than my uh... "knowledge" bracket. -- nm - mafic Mar 16, 16:30 6
        
        I know nothing and my cat even less. He picked Indiana to the final four because he gets boxes he can sit in from there. -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 16:38 5
        
        already way ahead of David's bracket -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 16, 16:39 4
        
        I'm in the 82nd percentile. It's been that kind of afternoon. -- nm - David Mar 16, 16:44 3
        
        (ESPN said it had 20 million entries. Only 30k are perfect after, what, six games?) -- nm - David Mar 16, 16:45 2
        
        the best anyone has ever done (in the internet era) is 39 games. edit: as in picked the first 39 games correctly. -- nm* - mafic Mar 16, 16:54 1
        
        I would say that's the equivalent of picking about 20-25 straight coin flips. -- nm - David Mar 16, 17:03
