Re: A Packet of Ice and Fire (Open)

Found this on the archive and played it solo. Just wanted to say that this is a really, really cool pack! I'd love to see more TWOIAF and F&B-based packets of this difficulty :)

Re: a Game of Thrones Set

I was wondering a few things: -Will content from the novellas or The World of Ice and Fire be covered, or just the main books? -Will there be a particular focus on either one of the show or the books? -Will you mix hints from the show and the books into the same tossup, or will only one be dealt wit...

Re: Specific Question Discussion

Boolean operators are equivalent to logical connectives Right, but you're not simplifying the connectives themselves, you're simplifying the expression as a whole. That's like saying "conjunctions" when the question wants "sentences" (in a natural language sense). The answer lin...

I got the tossup on gamma rays at ACF Regionals on "bursts" because I remembered it from this. I also got a Jesus tossup at HSNCT last year on "Quest for the Historical [this man]" thanks to Eric Mukherjee's hsqb username.

Re: Help with HSQBRank! (incl. HS teams at college tourneys)

I'm not sure which stats you're using for OQT, but NAQT has significantly different PPB recorded for Lisgar from what HSQB has. I'm using the HSQB one; SQBS reports tend to be messed up less than NAQT ones. A quick comparison between HSQB and NAQT shows that the discrepancy occurs in the match agai...

I still feel that most of the buzzes will be happening because of science knowledge and not science history knowledge, but you guys are probably right that the historical significance justifies it being there.

The issue (as I see it) is not that it's lacking any historical context, but that the hint is inviting a buzz ba...
