I should never play the BR since I can never understand the question fast enough.

Aww shucks, Kijii -- sorry about that
And after you went to all that trouble
Very impressive listing there
And I am certainly interested
But don't despair
And don't dispose of that list just yet
It may come in handy at some future contest (I'm taking notes as ideas from it)
If I HAD used it, Staccato would not have stood a chance -- that's the 50-plus promised BRs right there

Matt, Thank you for this monumental homage to celluloid Daddies. I only wish I could have played more. Staccato, Congratulations but you're starting to scare me. Owning half of the game board may be a first. What sorcery is behind this epic performance? I want in.

There's no 'sorcery,' Jervis -- it's called 'bribery.'
You want in? Then pay up!

Mathematically speaking, Jervis -- Staccato really did not deliver half the answers. When you factor in the Bonus Round, he merely found a measly 46 out of a hundred fathers. A poor performance, really. He will have to do much better next time. "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown" (as my old drinking buddy Billy Shakespeare once told me).
