FPG 4/15/16 - RESULTS
« on: April 15, 2016, 09:56:41 PM »
So... remember this?



Well... it done happened again. EVERYONE gets a Top 10 finish this week, because only eight players were able to even score!

Why is that, you may ask? Let's break it all down, in full gory detail:

Dice Game - SANDBAG to lead off the day.
1 Right Price - JustBecause and Flerbert take 25K each.
Time I$ Money - SuperSweeper solos for fifty grand.
Swap Meet - The only non-key game of the day... and barely so, with five picks.
Coming or Going - JustBecause and JJ take 25K each.
10 Chances - Kev solos for fifty grand.

So that's a grand total of 11 correct picks between everyone, making it no surprise that only eight folks got off the bagel bus. But who made the best of the bad lot?

As it happens, Roadgeek Adam and SuperSweeper each nail a game perfectly (Swap for Adam, Time for Sweeper) for 4/24 and a tie for third. JustBecause does the best pickwise with three right games, but his 6/16 is only enough to be the runner-up. Instead, JJ nails both Swap and CoG to take this week's win with 8/32.

Here is the full table of results... or the lack thereof for most of us:


Next game is next week, Friday as usual. Less usual, however, is that it will be a Play-Along game, our fifth of the season. See you all then.

Darn. I was hoping SuperSweeper would get the gold after that recent FPG post on the submissions page.

And I had just opened an extra bank account today. Can any of you 9th placers spare me a couple of bucks? :oldlol:

Well, I'll take my first gold of the season anyway I can get it.

Lucky all the way around. Lucky Swap Meet showed up here and not on the skipped show. Lucky to have slotted it and Coming or Going correctly.

I can't count - I actually had FOUR games all to myself...but only one showed up.   :oldlol:

I shouldn't complain, though - especially considering how I've done the rest of the season.

What can I say - insane lineup. Swap Meet and 10 Chances were the only due games here. And I didn't think Money Game could skip 2 weeks...but it did.

I'm still amazed that you managed to predict Time is Money (with a 6 no less), considering it was just played last week.

I wouldn't count Swap Meet out yet for that show.

I hadn't really thought about this before, but the reality of death means that every day there are less people in the world than the day before.  In reality there are many more people in the world than this but for illustration: If one day there are 1000 people in the world and the next day 55 people die, now there are 945 people in the world. if 30 more die the next day now there are 915 people in the world. So we'll eventually become extinct as will all creatures as the same reality applies to dogs, cats, horses etc.
