[panerd]

aargh!!! Can't get it to format!

[QuikSand]

rats.

[Butter]

I knew frickin' Euclid was going to kill me. I couldn't for the life of me think of another mathematician at the time though.

[gottimd]

try using

[xcode] and [/xcode]

remove the x's

[MIJB#19]

Woot, back to b... Oh wait, the first listed name is the big fat loser...

[Vince]

Iron? Who the hell puts Iron?

Otherwise, it wasn't a bad showing

[wbatl1]

What? Geometry was only proofs, and all proofs!!!!!!!! You people really are with stupid

[st.cronin]

Man I thought Lobachevsky would clean up... shows what I know...

[Buccaneer]

MIJB, you really got to give these up.

I would've done well if I had not misread question #1. Otherwise, I got the top 2 (and a top 3) answer for the rest.

wbat: You are very correct but it would not have been the likely answer.

I went with the lab coat, I just wrote down the first thing coming up.

I didn't have time to research, think out the answers for this one. We all know what happens if I do that. The USA based English speaking part of this game still makes this a tough game, questions 1, 3, 5 and 6 were no piece of cake to me.

[JeeberD]

Three firsts and three seconds and it's still not good enough for first place...

[Raiders Army]

Who said QuikSand? That was great.

[RGunner]

Just proves you're more stupid than you think.

[gottimd]

Rgunner, your good!

[Chas in Cinti]
