Packet 11

Post by jonah »

As I alluded to in my post in the Earlybird thread, packet 11 had a lot of problems. Other packets did too, but this was the packet that bugged me the most (probably because it was the finals and featured four protests). Here are the three of those protests that had to do with the packet:

1. A player buzzed in tossup 9 at "papilla of Vater" with "duodenum", which is outright correct at that time without even a prompt.

2. In bonus 15, the third part has a wrong answer. St. Joseph County isn't a city of about 60,000, and Indiana State is in Terre Haute.

3. No one could figure out why "I" is underlined (or even present, for that matter) in the second part of bonus 19.


I'll try to post more feedback on other packets later.


edit: Also, in bonus 2 part 3, "Theological-Political Treatise" should be an acceptable answer, and Het Meisje met de Parel for the first part of bonus 3.
