Quote:For today I'm going to go with Organic Chemistry.. Probably better for us to have loads of aces today so we can't get any points stolen!

I'll save Kols opinion for the rustle!

So, Blues have 2 potential points. If EN can rustle those and Reds can get 8 points between them, they can overtake the Blues to take the win... That's a big ask. Can they do it?!

Maybe I'm wrong but in my head this makes perfect sense when you put my theory alongside the final line that Reds could win by rustling those 2 points?

@lorcand1990 I think I was on the same wavelength..no control over how many points they score but leave as little as possible for the rustle..think we did a good job...it's all in the hands of the Gods now🙏

If I was rustling I'd have gone for organic chemistry! Carbon you believe that? 😂

I used to know all the elements but I only study that table periodically Wink

Sorry, sorry, got distracted! Where were we?

Alright, Reds only had 2 aces!

Another 2 potential points lined up by ari and aaron with Mechanics

And aaron tries to butter me up

Quote: Just for you, I'll say Mechanics, because according to this, it covers "time, space, distance, speed and acceleration"

Which I've decided has earned him a bonus point!

Oh oh...are you like one of those referees who plays for a draw?😱

Witchy, Zaph and Seph are on the same page with Newtons Law for a possible 3 points

Zaph tries out a chemistry pun

Quote: No idea if that's what you meant by a physics topic, but I hope it'll get a reaction

So, before the rustlers get going, there's 8 potential points for the Reds and 2 for the Blues!

Kol attempts his rustle to keep the Blues ahead

Quote:As my rustle answer I will pick Thermodynamics.

Now as they say in science, let's break it down. My blue team answer just came organically and my rustle answer I think will be hot on the red team list.

Would be awful to lose it at this stage with such a lead, I'm quietly confident!

Oh dear, it's a cold answer with no points rustled

Can EN grab away the Blues points for a Red win?!

Quote: Chemistry rustle - I think I'll try my luck with biochemistry

No.

Unlucky EN. Sound answer.

Thanks for running, nothing. Be sure to remove the fungus from your pizza! 🤢🤮

Well done my fellow blues.. never doubted us for a second!

Hard luck Reds, was a close game

Thanks @nothing for another very enjoyable game, some brilliant questions

Wahoo!!! Go team Blue...hard luck reds...ye did fight back..but! We won...
Thanks@nothing . Brilliant game but why do I feel you took a little bit of pleasure by making us wait😁😁
Only joking you played a blinder. I think this is probably my most favourite game..

Aces!

5 each for Seph and liz

4 each for EN, Trigs and Neo

3 each for Zaph, Witchy and Aris

2 each for Leggy, mam, ari, homer, aaron, lorc and jluv

1 each for hilda and dave

Huge congrats to Kol for being the only player who didn't ace!

Well done fellow blues and unlucky reds, great game everyone

Superbly hosted @nothing thanks for running.

Another one?

Congratulations Blues.

And sorry again, Reds. Sad

Although....as a physics graduate.....I will point out that Newton's Laws are an essential part of all other branches of physics* so really we should be scoring 9 points for our teams answers. According to SCIENCE, Red victory!

*except Thermodynamics, of course, where Newton's Laws have absolutely no relevance whatsoever. >_>

I did consider grouping but it felt a bit unfair

Woohoo Blues

@nothing thank you for running but that pizza, no just no

That was a physics joke Angry

Newton's Third Law - for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.

Ngl, the way you phrased that and put 'entertaining' in quotes is leading me to think that you're a prostitute.

Not judging, just observing.

Commiserations to my fellow red teammates, we gave it our best shot. But to be fair, congratulations to the blues, well played guys. And thanks nothing for another excellent game and reveals.
