Was anybody foolish enough to choose the second Women Playwrights question in the Category round, after the answer to the first one was a woman playwright who was truly obscure ("forgotten," as the answer explanation admitted)? My teamies wanted to take it until I pointed out how poorly we had done with the first one.

Nope. Thankfully, we took the Transcaucasia question there. Unfortunately, the outvoted me on the first Transcaucasia question. Anyone know what that was?

All I know is the Warmup Round had the wackiest set of questions I've ever seen. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it was nutty.

Second women playwrights question was: Which Lillian Hellman play ends with a double suicide?

As far as I know, all the plays listed were hers, so it wasn't a gimme.

So, how about that Megasthenes?

I'll second that. Our team only got two right in the pyramid round. Our youngest member precalled the final otherwise we would not even be in the top 100
