No, we can't say that McNair did it in the 21st century. He did it in the 20th century.

From our friends at Wikipedia:

The 21st century is the present century of the Anno Domini (common) era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It began on January 1, 2001 and will last to December 31, 2100.

Holy crap, well clearly I did not know that. I'm pretty sure not a whole lot of people would either. Oh well, now I'm at ease, lol.

I'm retarded. I thought the decathlon was a winter Olympic event. I thought it was the event with Cross-Country skiing, Archery, and 8 other events.

And LMU has done it, and gotten the Order of Merit to boot! Congratulations!

As to the rest of you... the next game starts in February, maybe one of you will be the next champion.

Hey Will, I was thinking you should keep a running tally of total points for each participant throughout the year. Then have a yearly winner for that... You could also give bonus points (yearly score only) for anyone who scores 30 by scoring on every question.

Just an idea.
