*Popped has relevance to the busted balloons, but mopped doesn't indicate a pile in any way. It's only an indication of wiping or sponging or cleaning.

*Watch Match is good, but it doesn't rhyme

*"yearning earning"... yeah I guess I should clarify that the first letter can only be changed, not removed.

1 Remaining!

Socket Docket

Yeah, that makes sense. And sorry I said hanker banker and yearning earning for 11, it was supposed to be for #9. I still like hanker banker though =)

Great job everyone! Get ready for RT#5! Coming Soon...

-Ok, a couple updates!

I have devised a new scoring system that should even the playing field. It's designed to detract from the "first one online wins" thing, while at the same time making it easy for me to keep up with. There is really no way for me to judge difficulty on these, but there are obviously different levels of difficulty, so here's the new setup... The first 9 questions answered (not 1-9 on the list but just the first 9 answered) will each be worth 1kudos each. The next 4 worth 2kudos each, and the last 2 worth 3kudos each. If there is a second acceptable answer given, it will receive the same value as the first.

-I'll try this out for RT#5, but obviously if you all do not like the idea let me know and I'll will go back to the normal 1-each (or I'll be open to suggestions).

HEADS UP!- Friday evening/night (eastern standard US) I will post RT#5.

(p.s. no one ever caught my kept debt misspelling in RT#3! So keep an eye out! Catch a mistake and get a bonus, I'm not perfect at these by any means.)

Oh, I caught it....but I had commented on the misspelling the first time, and I didn't want to become THAT person... Now that it's sanctioned, however, I can let my grammar nazi tendencies loose!
