hmm, my rating seems to be 1631....

You know Whip you whipped Al 5 straight games at unrated. No wonder your rating doesn't go up. Was that Al's idea?

Nah, I made them unrated.  Find it difficult to be ruthlessly Xenia-esque in games against friends.  

I think of you as a friend, however if we ever played a game it would have to be rated. Unrated games are like taking a shower in a rain coat.

This is an amazing mind trick you can try on another person. I haven't done it in a while but I tried on my 8 year old Granddaughter today and it worked perfectly.

First you write the word carrot on something and then ask the subject the following: What is 9+1, what is 8+2, what is 7+3, what is 6+4, and what is 5+5. You then ask them what is the first vegatable you can think of?

Nine out of ten times they will say carrot, the tenth one is tomato. Of cousrse you show them the prediction and their eyes go wide.

My 10 year old belongs to the 10%. She also told me it was the 't's in the tens that made her think of it.

Over the years Bunny I have tried it a lot and the 9 out of 10 is a good number.

I'll try it with the older one in the evening. My kids are weird like me ...

Let me guess, if I had asked you all that stuff you would probably have said Brussel Sprouts right? You Bunny, I would have thought you would say carrots for sure.

Weird.  I thought 'tomato.'

And tomato is a fruit.  lol

Yes tomato is a fruit Whip (not many people know that), and you obviously think outside the normal box. A good thing.
