Based on ratings, if the current incarnation of this player played himself from just after his first tournament (or first tournament for which he has a rating listed), would he be expected to win at least 75% of the time?

Does this person have at least 50% wins in tournaments according to their Cross-Tables stats?

Yes.

Not Sid.

Ontarioan male

hence==> Arie Sinke?

by **synodalhaj** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:20 pm

PS who is Arie Sinke?!

by **TheLamb** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:21 pm

He's my attempt at picking a semi-obscure player.

Anyways, Jason got it. Your turn.

by **synodalhaj** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:22 pm

Sweet! OK, I'm thinking of someone.

by **TheLamb** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:23 pm

by **synodalhaj** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:25 pm

Yeah.

Your turn, Matthew.

by **TheLamb** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:25 pm

........ for real?

by **TheLamb** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:26 pm

Sigh. Okay, I'm thinking of someone.

by **squamae brown** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 5:00 pm

Does this player have a winning record against any U.S. National Scrabble Champion(s) (i.e. winners of the U.S. NSC Division 1, even if they are other nationalities... also include James Leong)? I didn't grab a link for it, but I'm sure the list is relatively easy to find... or, if necessary, you can go through them on Wapnick's page since he's been to every one.

Btw, Sinke is closer to Montreal than Edmonton, which is why I was confused. I had it narrowed down to British Columbia and Manitoba before the number/letter question, so I thought you were saying that B looked like 8.

by **TheLamb** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 5:54 pm

Ack. My bad, I guess I misread/was confused by that question.

Answer to your question:

Yes

by **squamae brown** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:27 pm

Yeah, I could've phrased it better. Asking whether the player is farther from the object of the sentence instead of closer is needlessly convoluted.

Is this player's first name the name of, or in the name of, one of the books of the Bible? All books in the link provided are fair game, including Gospels, Epistles, Apocrypha, and those that are only in some or one of the versions. Nicknames are also allowed; the only one that I think needs clarification is that Susanna can be Susan and its nicknames (Susie, Suze, etc.).

I'm hoping this comes back No so I can rule out all the Zephaniahs.

I didn't make a guess, but I was following the thread and was guessing he was saying B looked like 13.

by **TheLamb** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 5:53 am

No, they do not share a name with a book of the Bible.

by **squamae brown** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 8:39 pm

Is this person the highest-rated player in his/her city (if they have a city listed)?

by **TheLamb** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 8:56 pm

by **JasonV12** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:00 am

Is this player's first name 1 syllable?

by **squamae brown** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:54 am

Does this player perform well in a high-pressure environment?

by **TheLamb** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:55 am

Name is more than one syllable.

And, erm, this player is from "Mars".

by **squamae brown** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 12:30 am

Has he ever had an undefeated tournament?

by **TheLamb** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 2:14 am

by **squamae brown** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 8:19 pm

Does he live in a state/district/province with a Major League Baseball team?

I'm thinking of a player...

by **TheLamb** » Mon Apr 18, 2011 12:43 am

Have I played them in a tournament before?

by **squamae brown** » Mon Apr 18, 2011 5:38 pm

No, this person has not played Tunnicliffe.

by **TheLamb** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 3:22 pm

Has... Winter played them before?

by **squamae brown** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 12:05 am

Yes, this player is one of Winter's 933 tournament opponents.

by **JasonV12** » Sun May 01, 2011 9:06 pm

Are they from a state within the top 10 total population counts in the 2010 US Census? (Just say no if they are not located in US.)

To help:

by **squamae brown** » Sun May 01, 2011 11:38 pm

No, not from one of the ten most populous states.

by **TheLamb** » Mon May 02, 2011 9:39 am

Are they among the top-100 players by rating?

by **squamae brown** » Mon May 02, 2011 8:44 pm

by **trashman** » Mon May 02, 2011 9:36 pm

Is the player's current rating greater than the number of meters in a mile? http://www.asknumbers.com/MilesToMeters.aspx
