Now that the binary is over, I'll repost the change in pool coords:

redflg redflg redflg redflg redflg

Due to some confusion as to what reference numbers to use, I just changed the row and column headings to match the Excel coords. (Kinda like the difference between True North and Magnetic North.) laugh

None of the names on the squares have been moved.

If you would like to move your squares around just post the request here. Remember, everyone gets four squares now. Good luck!

Yeah, be careful what you wish for!

Anyway, for those who don't speak binary, my post said:

Of course, that doesn't make much sense out of context, but I
wouldn't feel comfortable translating anyone else's posts.

Only two more games before the Super Bowl:
  • Jets vs. Colts
  • Vikings vs. Saints

You're right. There's a list of scores from 13852 pro football games at All Game Scores in Pro Football History. It shows that a score of 22-18 has never occurred. Of the 27704 scores in those games, 22 has only occurred 237 times and 18 has only occurred 90 times.

Neither 5-5 nor 5-2 has occurred in pro football history either.

A small request: Could either TFJ or one of the list administrators please put some line breaks in TFJ's post #4071? That long line messes up the formatting of this whole thread in my browser.

It was probably a college bowl game. And remember, football pools can pay off at the end of each quarter of play, just like this LCCF pool. Can you please check each quarter's score for college games starting in 1970? You'll need to check all permutations too, e.g. 15-5, 5-15, 15-15, etc.

I did some more Googling, but everything I found just showed the final scores, and none of them matched. I'm inclined to give up, unless tracking down the game will help me find a cache.

Hmm, it was a long time ago. Maybe we had a 5 and a 3. Begin the new search. evil
