I doubt I’d ever have found the rather intricate mechanism (at least it seemed that way to me) that gave me the first part so I could get to the second when I first started all of this. Plus, were it not for a warning shot across the bow I still would have managed to mess it up in my disordered approach. Still, there I am listed along with the gods of METAs (OK so maybe 400 plus levels AFTER them but still within a thousand!). I’ll be interested to see the answers that were considered wrong, and also how people knew there were wrong answers? I still cannot determine how they do that from the information that is available. Ah, the META gods.

There's a tie for 547th place.

Interesting collection, someone who made an offer they could not refuse, someone whose brother got them a ride on the Soul Train, and of course a Hobbit (i'm sure that has to be Bilbo Baggins cousin). Kind of makes me wish I had hung around a bit longer to join that crowd, heck I was 466 so close to that. Still, if we are considering "ties" then there are LOTS more than 560 because there are multiple "ties" throughout.

OK, so I'm not sure how this count thing goes because while I was trying to go back in and determine how many overall there were, 547 disappeared and was replaced by a lot of other numbers (so no idea what it is up to) and in the "This Week" column I went from 466 to 477 (still for me quite good) and I don't understand how people who have already submitted can be moved down the board by later submissions. Oh well, up at 4:30 too much to ponder now. I'm just happy I'm there.

Just guessing about how your "This Week" standing changed, perhaps there were 11 people who Matt mistakenly marked as incorrect and when he went back and fixed it, they went ahead of you to the position of their original submission.
