Looking at the totals since it started yesterday, only one thing comes to mind: Judge Smails in Caddyshack saying, "Don't you people have jobs?" :)

This 1,600 point thing isn't fair. :-({|= No need to go to Joe's meeting now. :)

Yeah - and some people seem to be exempt from the 1,600 point thing that limits other. The game is rigged.

I was wondering that also. Is it just from 1600-1700? Then back to normal?

One example 26 points http://www.hikearizona.com/trivia-III.php?CID=1883

Okay, okay... I added it to the template.

Point Limit Per Photo for Advanced Users:
• 1600-1699 (4 Pt Limit)
• 1800-1899 (4 Pt Limit)
• 2000-2199 (4 Pt Limit)
• 2200+ (15 Pt Limit)

Perhaps this will cancel all previous received death threats :pray:

I think the top 3 have a lot of extra points because of that :( :sl:

I believe that persons that are retired and also live out of state should also be exempt as well.... :sl:

Technically it was more difficult for them...
They didn't have the advantage of knowing ahead of time they should answer a fifty pointer before a slow run ;)

In the interest of full disclosure, SuperstionGuy spilled the beans earlier in this thread shortly after he hit the 1600 wall. I didn't make the most of it because fewer guessable photos were reaching high value then. The window after 1700 was nice, but the 1800 wall was a surprise, so Joe is right about that one.

Now that I've passed 1,800, I believe the window should be slammed shut :)

BTW, if I recall correctly...

I don't know if I've whined about this one before - BUT - one thing I hate is when I sort of think I know the answer but when I go to guess I'm told that I'm restricted from participation. I finally figured out that usually it's because I took that picture. BUT that doesn't mean that I know what it is. :sl:

Even though I can not participate I'm with ya Al. Sometimes I'll see one and think "oh I know this one!!!" only to realize I took it too :oops:

That sad part being I probably couldn't guess it anyways :sweat:

I've found that I enjoy going back and looking at the solved ones. That way I always get the right answer :) Sometimes I say to myself, "Oh I would have gotten that one" but mostly I say "Wow, I would have never guessed that" even on trails I've hiked.
