Yes, and that round was tough, too.  Here's a particularly nasty example:

Rank these four Joneses in order from oldest to youngest:
a) Shirley  b) Quincey  c) Tom  d) James Earl

which I defy anyone (even dha!) to get without using any references.

I'm getting tired of the New Deck.  The food's not that great, it's
too smokey, they have the nerve to charge for West Philly tap water,
and now with the later start for quizzo I'm not getting home until
after 12:30.  I personally would like to find a new place for our
apres-tech meeting dinners.
