This man's unambitious brother, a government official  who frequents the Diogenes  (dye-AW-juh-"knees")  Club, is often considered the "most indispensable man" in the  Britain. 

That should be in Britain.

Round 10, tossup 11 and round 15, tossup 8 are word for word repeats of a tossup on Nigeria.

Thanks Jacob! One of those was supposed to be a literature tossup on Nigeria, but that was a packetization error.

I don't remember how the question was phrased, but the round 3 toss-up on Kansas seemed to have opened with a description of the Centralia Massacre, which happened in Centralia, Missouri, not Kansas. It was a bit odd for me that I was negged when responding with Missouri when we played our tournament in Centralia, but I could have just not been paying close enough attention to what the question was asking for.

Sorry about that, the entire first line did indeed refer to the Centralia Massacre in Missouri. It has been replaced.

Gah. I completely forgot about this tossup last week. I meant to report that as well.

The round 3 bonus about collagen was asking for proline but had a clue about every third amino acid in collagen, which is glycine (please correct me if I'm wrong). I believe the other clues in that part all referred to proline, but I don't remember the exact wording.

Both glycine and proline are found in a three amino acid repeating motif that makes up the structure of collagen; however, you are right in saying glycine is the only guaranteed residue in that motif, as proline can be in the form of hydroxyproline as well. The question will be changed to reflect that.
