    EDIT: I lied about FIGHT. It's 1.

  3. Usually in the instance of a tie they go with who shot first in the previous hole.

    I'm aware of that, but this was a tie all the way back to the beginning, so I've no way of knowing who went first between them (except perhaps the name higher on the list).

    I'm going to make a logical jump here and say the answer is Tim Berners-Lee based on FATHER OF THE WWW and a day on the LINKS.

    If not him, Al Gore.

  5. I should have also mentioned that the 6th letter can be S or M. I don't know what is done traditionally when a tie occurs. Among friends, the one not smoking has honour.

    Anyway, that means our phrase could be "THE FASBER OF TC WAWW"

    I see where your logic is trying to go, but it doesn't make the whole trip.

  8. There we were, surrounded by the army of robots that the evil Doctor Heppenstienus had programmed to kill us. There was nowhere to run or hide and we couldn't really reason with the mad doctor. Finally, Richmond, a philosopher among us stepped forward and asked of the robots:

    WYIBTLSFBIA?

  9. If you take the first letter of the person who would have honour for the next hole (including an assumed 19th hole), you are left with the below 18-letter phrase:

    "THE FAMBER OF THC WAWW"

    Just behind the winning C of THC is the letter E. While FAMBER could conceivably be FATHER, I don't really think it's close enough. Still pretty lost.
