CANONINFLATION reading (12/7/23)

[Santa Claus]

thought it'd be fun to hold an online reading of CANONINFLATION on the Discord. slated for Friday 12/8 let's do Thursday 12/7 instead (8 PM ET I guess)

[Santa Claus]

reading was held - fun was had by all (or at least by me). enjoyed seeing a lot of very good buzzes as well as being able to read some of my later clues to people

Also attending were Ani P, Kevin (Pomona), jaimiecarlson, Coby K. (CECI), Forrest [columbia], Orion L (Chamblee), and David Bass [JHU, PACE].

The overall breakdown of 30/20/10/0 was 15/36/43/170. Some facts that are fun:

• 94 conversions means slightly fewer questions went dead than the CO reading (though not always the same ones).
• 54% of questions were powered or superpowered.
• Kai got the exact same number of points as Geoff did at the other reading - what does this mean? Probably nothing but it's an amusing coincidence.
• Both Kai and Mason got a ":)" on the scoresheet for being pretty close on a question - several other people probably also deserve one but I didn't remember to take note.
• Finn and Kai were the only participants to buzz correctly on more than half their buzzes - the lowest non-zero hitrate was 15%.
