Greed - Game 11 Round 5! RedCoyote to decide!

A US calorie is what people in the rest of the world call either a KCal or 4.184 kJ.
1000 kJ is almost exactly 239 calories if you want a conversion.

diginova · Post Post #115 (isolation #1) » Wed Sep 03, 2014 10:52 am

Also, it's sort of unfair for this question living in a city where calorie counts have to be posted on menu boards

diginova · Post Post #117 (isolation #2) » Wed Sep 03, 2014 2:46 pm

I remember the big mac and fries (not exact but close) off the top of my head, so all that's left is the hot chocolate. I'm making an educated guess on that. Don't worry, I don't plan on going to McDonald's before I submit

diginova · Post Post #120 (isolation #3) » Wed Sep 03, 2014 4:01 pm

Because it's very quick food... their chicken wraps aren't that bad. If there was an In-N-Out here I'd never go to any other burger place again.

The answer to the first question is A. Yes.

diginova · Post Post #146 (isolation #5) » Mon Sep 08, 2014 4:41 pm

gg, but i'll wait for Dragons to make it official.

(to be fair, having not known it, artichoke hearts is one of the two possibilities you can get by just going off vert (or verde if you prefer Spanish))

I know it in imperial... converting to metric.

diginova · Post Post #159 (isolation #8) » Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:01 pm

They're rounding to the nearest million. It doesn't matter.

diginova · Post Post #162 (isolation #9) » Mon Sep 15, 2014 6:40 am

I learned it as 6.6M square miles because the US school system is stupid. The good news is it was close enough to 17 exactly that my inaccurate rounding didn't matter; (1.6)^2*6.6 is still 17, Crimea or no.

I will

that answer.

I feel the need for greed!

Good luck Aronis... I think I got 0/3, so you shouldn't have much of an issue

diginova · Post Post #198 (isolation #16) » Tue Sep 16, 2014 7:04 pm

I think we've got this.

Do not use the freebie

diginova · Post Post #209 (isolation #17) » Thu Sep 18, 2014 8:16 am

Going from Jupiter outward, you have Io, Europa, Ganymede and

F. Callisto

in that order.
I think Jupiter V is Amalthea (which is actually closer to Jupiter than Io) and Jupiter VI is Himalia, but I may be mixed up on those last two.

By Jove, I accept.

diginova · Post Post #210 (isolation #18) » Thu Sep 18, 2014 8:17 am

Also, a fun astronomy fact... Io, Europa and Ganymede have almost exactly a 1:2:4 ratio on their orbital periods.

diginova · Post Post #212 (isolation #19) » Thu Sep 18, 2014 9:18 am

Why stop when you know the answer?
You'll have to do better than that to keep us from the $2M, Chuck.
I'd take a buyout of $1.9M now if you want to skip the formalities -- it will even save you $100,000.

Keep going

I think I can count on my team to get enough of these that it won't be necessary.

diginova · Post Post #246 (isolation #27) » Mon Sep 22, 2014 7:43 pm

I'll accept my team's answers, but now for my own...
Of the remaining choices, I can narrow it down to three. I think I remember hearing about this somewhere before...
I'll lock in

D. Fresno

with I'd guess 75% certainty.

diginova · Post Post #248 (isolation #28) » Mon Sep 22, 2014 10:56 pm

No matter what happens, it's been a pleasure playing with all of you.

diginova · Post Post #254 (isolation #29) » Thu Sep 25, 2014 5:11 pm

If you notice, I haven't rejected a single answer yet this game

diginova · Post Post #256 (isolation #30) » Thu Sep 25, 2014 8:53 pm

If people walk away do the remaining people get more of the share?

diginova · Post Post #265 (isolation #31) » Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:19 am

GG everyone

diginova · Post Post #267 (isolation #32) » Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:35 am

I still feel like this though, but yeah I'm happy to make it this far... this was an awesome team. And hey, we now get to be in the league with this guy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHmpLT7RNHE

Nothing against this team at all... you were perfect all the way through, I just wished we could have beaten

The Cube

The Tower of Greed once and for all! Hey, if we're all together next game, maybe we can

I don't even know which one of the answers given right now is correct... I just know three others at are with 95% certainty, so let's see this through to the end... there's always a chance.
(And STD, I was expecting you to do the "favorite ice cream flavors* question

diginova · Post Post #270 (isolation #33) » Sun Sep 28, 2014 1:02 pm

I'll add

G. Cherry Macaroon

diginova · Post Post #275 (isolation #34) » Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:21 pm

Cherry Macaroon is also one.
Also, it's just fake money

diginova · Post Post #287 (isolation #35) » Sun Oct 05, 2014 7:20 pm

I accept.
1-15 are B.

diginova · Post Post #289 (isolation #36) » Sun Oct 05, 2014 8:47 pm

You know the answer to that, Chuck.
Have I ever walked away?

Well, dang it.
Chavez died in 2013, and Castro is still very much alive.
So

change Fidel Castro to Kim Jong-Il

and

I'll take the buyout you're going to offer.

diginova · Post Post #326 (isolation #44) » Thu Oct 09, 2014 1:43 pm

(And just for fun to see if I remember, Bin Laden was in May, Kevorkian was in July, Gaddafi was in October and Jong-il was in December, correct?)

diginova · Post Post #328 (isolation #45) » Thu Oct 09, 2014 2:13 pm

No, I just have a very selective photographic memory. Important things, no chance. Random facts, I can never forget them.
