Thanks to all for the fun time. Lindsay (12) made 31 Qs, one was a
dupe, and we operated for around 90 minutes. Ages received ranged
from 3 to 82. We met some friends from earlier SquINTs and some
new ones. More of the kids are using phonetics, which helps a lot.
Lindsay did better than I did getting op and pet names without any
phonetics or spelling - I couldn't tell the difference between
Christa and Crystal, she seemed pretty confident about it. This
was the first time we worked Trey's ops - thanks to him and others
for getting this one up and running. It's the only time I look
forward to 20m 'phone on a weekend.
Score = 30 Qs x 28 names x 25 states x 25 pet names x 90 mins operated
x 12 (Lindsay's age) x 55.5 (mine) x 14260 (freq) =
5 thousand million gadzillion billion trillion and one.
