But it must still be broken - my first vote on the obsolete challenge was a four! That can't be right.......

The vote calculation must have been realy sticky!

You have no idea...

It looks like someone figured out how to cast non-integer votes, and voted pi on every entry. While we were discussing what to do about all this, heida found a slightly burned banana cream pi and hurled it at scalvert. Scalvert dodged it and the pi hit GeneralE, and that's when all hell broke loose. Next thing we knew, there was pi everywhere, and we've been spending the last 6½ hours cleaning up the mess! Unfortunately there was so much pi on the new challenge topic it was totally unreadable, so we had to throw it away. Drew and Langdon have ordered a new one and it should be in by late Thusday night.

The good news is we've proven (as many have suspected) there is at least one "irrational" voter out there! That, and we did manage to save one blueberry pi for Kavey!

Wow, it just came back this morning? I'm glad I didn't try to wait up for it last night. At about 12:30 I went to bed, but I kept saying it was coming back any minute.

Oh that's cheating, it was a basic challenge, no dodging allowed !!

Well, I'm happy. My score jumped from around a 5.7 to 5.902 in the last hour, or during the calculations. My best yet.

Are you auditioning for staff writer at The Enquirer? If so, you can pick up your uniform down at the front desk. :D

It has to do with an androgenous French spy who infiltrated DPC. Read the June DPC Enquirer for more details.

Delayed gratification is more fulfilling.

You should have a recipe section in the next Enquirer, KV-Pie should be the first recipe!
