In addition to methylation, C/D box snoRNAs guide this molecule's processing. We're in the nucleolus, we're building ribosomes. I'll bet NAQT is being retarded and writing a question about the small or large ribosomal subunit, or the peptidyl-transferase site of the ribosome, or something. Andy Wat...

Speaking of the Bats tossup, I'm pretty sure white nose disease was the middle clue for a 2012 MSNCT tossup on them

Very quick thread derail here, but do most teams keep score as they're playing, as in the individual team members keeping score rather than a bystander or coach? Having played precious few top teams, I'm not sure what the common procedure is here. Some players do it. It's pretty helpful if the mode...

dude it doesn't matter if you aren't top 9 or top 4 in Illinois. You're still too good for the intended field.

Doesn't that mean that each year any freshman that were in the top ten are automatically discounted? I think it would be desirable both to the players morale and to statistics to allow good players to return to the tournament, as a way to gauge progress. Last year, I was ninth at KC. To me, that is...

Yeah, it's definitely interesting to hear recordings of NSC finals last year and hear Bellarmine madly slamming buzzers in the first couple sentences while Hunter just kind of relaxes, but it's definitely very situation-dependent. Is there some optimal power to neg ratio to aim for when considering...

-I'm not wedded to the succession tossup, and if it's both rather hard as a topic and not particularly well-written/suited to pyramidality, I'm not going to go out of my way to defend it. I defer to Ashvin if he has further thoughts, and to people's AP Bio experiences as to whether they encounter t...

A great way to learn Greek mythology is the old Sierra city-builder "Zeus: Master of Olympus" and its expansion, "Poseidon." Oh man, I loved those games. Also, "Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom" is a good source of Chinese history/mythology knowledge. And you can ke...

The final placement game for GDS and Mannheim Township doesn't seem to have been included in the stats.

on the stats Carbondale is listed as having 12.5 PPB against culver. their tossup count + culver's is too high.
