For me the hardest LR question, and I changed my answer right before time was called, was the book pleasure one.

I'm putting together a post but here's the link the mean time.

Thanks!!! Can you please find the poll results from the past several waiting threads to see accuracy? I am currently computerless so it would take awhile.
Not sure what you mean? Llike the actual numbers? I posted them a few posts after the one you just quoted if so.

Please feel free to correct me if my math is wrong. I'm kinda tipsy and bad at math.

All the past TLS "TestMonth Year Waiting Thread" have poll results listed of curve predictions so I want to compare their predictions to what the actual curves turned out to be for fun/ because I'm obsessive like that
Oh, I see. I'm not really in a mental state for that right now lol but I can probably do it later if someone hasn't done it by then.

I spent a lot of time in the June waiters thread though and I believe the prediction was either -10 or -11. People felt much more pessimistic about that test than this one so far though, I can say that for certain.

To continue the analysis, look back through the pages of the thread and compile the predictions if you wish before the poll is released lol. I'm not seeing any sort of consensus.

This was a very easy set.

Probably 175+ for me.

Does anyone remember a question (that did not have 3 LRs) that involved [x]? Fairly certain this was my experimental section. (LR, LR, RC, LR, LG)

That one took some retro SAT style analogy set up in my brain, but I worked it out. Definitely solvable.
Ya it was a pretty straightforward analogy imho. You just had to figure out what the white swans were and then it fell into place.
Shit. I'm wondering if we all thought the same way on this or if I'm totally off

I wish we could actually discuss it! I remember it pretty well and I felt super confident in my answer but I'm wondering how other people looked at it.

I remember this and did not have an experimental LR.

Feeling good. Kind of. Better than June. I think.
Should have know LG 1 was exp. I finished with 15 min left. Too good to be true. Game 3 in LG 2 killed me. Reminded me of the magazines from June. I skipped to game 4, finished in a few minutes, then went back to 3. Had to guess on one and wasn't 100% about two other questions. Seems to be the consensus.
RC was surprisingly easy.
LR 1 I messed up. Totally botched. I think at least. Just wasn't in the zone.
Overall it didn't seem too bad. Was a bit easier than June for sure. Hopefully we're -12 fingers crossed.

Black swan was the real RC

A black swan is an object to which a theory is applied but which has some property that contradicts that theory.
