Re: Specific Question Discussion Thread

For the Critique of Pure Reason bonus, if I recall correctly, it said that David Hume read it and it awoke him from his "dogmatic slumbers." This is wrong, Kant read and said that about Hume. Hume died before Critique of Pure Reason was published. Edit: Also, maybe most people playing didn...

Re: 2017 Division II ICT: specific question discussion

Is there a reason why in the Div II version of the tossup on m.a.a.d., the word acronym is out of power but in the div I version acronym is still in power? I think acronym should be in power for both. In the div II version, there is almost no initial indication what the tossup is looking for, since ...

Re: 2014 BELLOCO Specific Question Discussion

I'm pretty sure that the Yom Kippur War tossup was mentioned as being ended by the Camp David Accords. That was a very confusing moment, because the Yom Kippur War ended 5 years before the Accords were signed.

The question said that the lion must recognize traps and the fox must fight off wolves. It's the other way around. Also, was there a reason that palm trees were not acce...
