[10] After the Æsir kill Thjazi and recover the apples, Odin attempts to appease Skadi by turning Thjazi’s eyes into one of these things. To resolve a paradox, Zeus turns Laelaps and the Teumessian fox into two of these objects. Sorry if I'm being nit-picky, and maybe this wasn't an issue in the ac...

[10] The ghee, or clarified butter, consumed by Agni is produced by these animals. As these animals are considered sacred, Hindus do not consume their meat. ANSWER: cows [or cattle; or bulls] I'm all for questions on ghee and cows coming up, but this feels like a bit of a waste of a myth bonus part...

I appreciate the vote, but my last name is spelled "Ranganathan"

Edit: thanks Auroni, mods please delete

- It shocks me that Halle Friedman hasn't been mentioned yet for visual arts. She is very capable of getting insane painting buzzes against members of Chicago A in practice, and her tournament stats reflect not just her depth in visual arts, but her lower-level humanities generalism as well (her PI...

yes.

I am not a particularly good film player, but I greatly enjoyed it, and I'd definitely recommend it to others

Stats?

Stats ...

Stats.

Thanks for your patience. Please let us know if there are any errors, and some combination of Nick, Conor, and me will fix them.

I might be wrong about this, but I thought mentioning Lava and Kusha first line in the Sita tossup was a bit early

Michigan Academic Competitions is pleased to again be hosting its annual Autumn Classic, which will take place on Saturday, December 1st, 2018. We will be having an initial field cap of 32 teams; the cap may increase depending on the availability of staffers. However, please register as early as pos...

Is there any update on the list of hosts? Thanks

Could I see the exact wording on the bonus on varna? I'm sure it was just me messing up, but I just want to make sure it was just me being silly by saying jati instead

Edit: Also do you mind showing the religion tossup on india? The christianity clues seemed quite interesting.

I would like to apologize for that. I do not believe that my teammate meant any harm when he said that (he is considered somewhat of a thought player, and I think failed to get any points on the more feminism-related bonuses), but yes, I or someone else should have said something. What he said is no...

Congrats to OSU A on winning this Mirror! Stats should be posted soon, and I hope no one had too many issues with the way this was run. Thank you all for coming out!

Registration meeting at 8:30 am tomorrow in 3347 Mason Hall. Looking forward to seeing all of you there!

Field updated, and it would be greatly appreciated if teams could register soon! This mirror is just 3 weeks away, and it would be really helpful for us to be able to reserve rooms. Hope to see you all there!

Yeah this was a good time, it would be great if this could happen whenever I'm in town

I'd love to go to some of these if someone could give me a ride from either franklin park or princeton

Yah, depending on weekend

I'm also looking into running a Boston event, with a main event on Saturday (I'm thinking NASAT right now) + smaller events dotted throughout Saturday & Sunday. I'm not sure of the state of the MSU event, but would anyone/site be very against this happening? For reasons of redundancy, too far from ...
