Notes
Wits & Wagers Stephan Reebs It all comes down to the last question and Stephan’s knowledge of American history, more precisely the year the White House started to be built. The big payoff gives him 133 points.
Category 5 Kevin Caron With Hurricane Milton hitting Florida tonight and Helene having devastated six states last week, we have to play Category 5. Only three rounds before Ian goes over, and Kevin gets only three little gusts of wind on his house over those three rounds.

Played at Stephan's place. KPASMI. We take our annual group picture, on the deck at the back. Then we play one game, and after that we chat about nerdy things like machine translation, the freezing and evaporation points of oxygen and nitrogen, the pagers’ explosions in Lebanon, the good old articles in National Enquirer (not that nerdy after all), and the calcareous geology of Florida.
