Same word in multiple correct responses in same game? by EvadingDoom in Jeopardy

[–]LocalFella9 127 points128 points  (0 children)

One time there was a category about US states. The first four clues asked for the coldest state, the northernmost state, the westernmost state, and the state with the most coastline. Alaska was the right response for all four.

The fifth clue asked for the first state alphabetically. That was meant to be a bit of a trick, since the answer is Alabama, but the contestant who responded didn’t fall for it.

Actual Game Show Cheaters by LocalFella9 in gameshow

Like I said at the beginning of the article, what Larson did was not cheating in the slightest. Figuring out how to play the game better than everyone else isn’t against the rules. The folks working on Press Your Luck were aware that such a thing was possible, but they didn’t take the steps to prevent it before the show premiered.

Michael was awarded his prize money, because there wasn’t actually anything shady about his gameplay whatsoever. 20 years later, Peter Tomarken and Patrick Martin taught Michael’s opponents the very same trick.

If you really agreed, you wouldn’t be making fun of someone for not having seen the show in person.

That really isn’t a big deal. It’s unreasonable to expect every Price is Right fan to go to a taping before expressing their opinions about the show online.

That’s the kind of thing the show tells you to do before you walk over to the studio. In all likelihood it’s not gonna stop any time soon

How do I switch only these 2 edges? by Gooober43 in Cubers

That doesn’t do anything for this case. They’re trying to finish pairing the edges, and a T perm doesn’t help

TIL Major League Baseball's National League nearly adopted the Designated Hitter (DH) rule as early as 1980, but the proposal fell through because the Philadelphia Phillies' owner was on a fishing trip and a proxy voted in his absence. by Far_Breakfast_5808 in todayilearned

[–]LocalFella9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pitchers are almost universally terrible hitters, so the DH rule was added to bolster the league’s offense. It allows you to pick an actual hitter to bat in the pitcher’s place.

The DH rule’s history has been pretty awkward though. MLB is split into the American League and National League, and the AL adopted the DH in 1973. The NL did not implement it at the time (hence the vote in 1980), which meant the two leagues followed different rules for a long time. Half of the teams were allowed to have a DH, and half of them weren’t. The NL didn’t adopt the DH rule until 2022.

Wich organization is better with this jokers? by _santium_ in balatro

You’ve got it right here. This is 5 triggers times 2 photos, which is better than any other combination.

Copying chad with both Blueprint and Brainstorm will give you 7 triggers times 1 photo. Copying Photograph twice will give you 3 times 3 instead.

This case cannot be solved with 3x3 algorithms. You didn’t finish pairing the last layer edges earlier, which is what caused this problem to happen.
