If I just copy paste the answers of the smartest person in the thread does that count since it isn't about speed? Hypothetically speaking of course. :shifty:

But you are counting up the points so I could just wait for the highest one right near the end and go with that one.I'm just teasing of course. I'm too much of a dummy to attempt it myself. One of these days someone will throw a contest my speed like who has the silliest old lady mantis story to share. :p
