Here's a rescore of the Rare Entries contest.

I made two cahnges, both to Kevin Stone's answer slate. One was to
change Los Beatles to a 1, the other was to make 4136 Chromoly a wrong
answer. After investigating, I determined that that alloy does not
exist. As far as I can tell, all the references on the net to that alloy
are either to this contest or a link to the same eBay posting. It's
obviously a typo.

The winners did not change. Stephen Perry moved from a tie for 10th to
9th; all the other changes in the standings were in places lower than that.

Top 3 slates:

John Gerson Dave Filpus Haran Pilpel
0. Titan Venus Jupiter
1. Lincoln, NE Jefferson City MO Jefferson City
2. Sacagawea John Muir John Muir
3. Lake Superior Huron Superior
4. zodiac Jupiter Merkur
5. Six-red snooker Rugby Chess (W)
6. ruby cardinal raspberry
7. Laurier Borden King
8. With The Beatles Rubber Soul Yesterday and Today
9. 4130 steel Magnesium walnut

Revised table of scores. Names marked with an * are entrants from the
SDMB. Those are their handles rather than actual names.

Those marked with < at the end of the line changed their scores,
although not necessarily their position.

5. Name an organized sport that has more than one mode of scoring. A
mode of scoring is determined by the number of points (see definition
4.5) scored. All actions that score the same number of points count as a
single mode. Administratively assigned points (e.g. for forfeits or
penalties) do not count as a mode of scoring. Tennis is excluded from
this question; it has only one mode of scoring, but has a funny way of
counting to four. Target sports are excluded from this item.

Good that you reply, thank you, but I myself, personally speaking, that is, me, I have not got any idea what :0) means, and although
I've spent a few minutes looking it up by goobgling and saying emoticons and so on, I've given up, and so now I say, whatever is it
do you mean ? pls

I can't believe that you're being serious but it's just a smiley face
Mr.Gerson.
I hate text speak like 'LOL' (or 'pls' for that matter) and I wasn't
laughing out
loud anyway. It just made me smile, simple as that.
