Faith, NVLADY and Sherri, BRNHLD came over to play at PT's with our regulars, BOOMER, ELLIEM, GRIMPA, PLCMTS and LEOASC. Faith had visited Bali so she added some needed answers, Paul knew the currency and a few other of the questions, Ellie's neighbor is into odd forms of Marshall Arts so she came up with that one plus the novelist, the rest of us took some wild guesses and what do you know!?! Some of them were right. . A fun time was had by all. When we average less than 29K we worry until scores come up, but we should have a bit more confidence I guess because we came in 5th. From the look of some of the individual scores, my guess is there are a lot of people from Indonesia that play NTN or they just love to visit the library or maybe they have actually spent a lot of time there. Hopefully our two guests will return sometime soon to help us "up the score" again. 'Til next time! Betty LEOASC |
