Just a heads up before I get started. This post will cover multiple questions and clean up the game a bit. (You will see why.)
The next question to be revealed is:
NRA stands for...
***Everyone answered with National Rifle Association, which I thought was surprising. This question will not be counted because since everyone got it right, there are no changes in standings and there is no reason to inflate the numbers. Just to repeat. Everyone got the question right. No points will be awarded.***
The following question is:
What is the most popular flower used on Valentine's Day?
***Again, everyone got the correct answer. but this question was also a mistake on my part. For some reason, I put the correct answer up. Since everyone chose roses, no points will be rewarded because it would just inflate the score.***
Okay that is it with questions that have all the same answers:
So the next question is:
The college football team, "The Hurricanes" belong to this school.
-Well Avengethis finally got out of last place! But unfortunately wylaff takes his place. -Anyone who didn't answer Miami, pretty much plummeted on standings this round. -On an unrelated note, I guess a lot of people on here know their college football. If I did not watch the Netflix documentary on the U of M a few weeks ago, I would have no idea how to answer this question. lol -Nolagizmo is still on top though. He is pretty hard to dethrone from there! -This was a black sheep question but the people still in contention answered correctly!
Comments: -Well, SleevePLZ drops out of a tie for second to 4th place. -rsherman24 now joins the tie for second with the strong holding ChazMN -Nolagizmo now open up the lead to 3 points -It seems like the lower tier scored better this round, but unfortunately, not much movement in the standings. -I thought the most popular answer would be force awakens, (with the recent release), but my favorite one (Return of the Jedi) came out in first place. -This was a black sheep question. Since genaredogg and Puff_Dougie answered Chewy and Sucks respectively, they are out of the black sheep race!
Comments: -Nolagizmo still is in first place! Just impossible to dethrone! -BignBalln and usaf06 dropped a few spots this round! -Avengethis jumps ahead 1 spot! -This was not a black sheep question.
"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form." -- Winston Churchill "LET'S GO FRANCIS" Peter
-Well the tie for second is now over with rsherman24 coming out on top! -SleevePLZ moves up into third place now. -Nolagizmo is still in first and has a 3 point lead! -ChazMn drops two spots into 4th place -The bottom half showed no movement. -This was a black sheep question.
I feel like Ben Carson. Too far back to make up the ground in time.
"When I have found intense pain relieved, a weary brain soothed, and calm, refreshing sleep obtained by a cigar, I have felt grateful to God, and have blessed His name." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
-James40 drops drastically after being the only one with Hoover as an answer -Nolagizmo, you are still on top! 3 point still separate 1st and 2nd -This was a black sheep question.

Apologies for the brief hiatus, but I am writing this a few hours before I land in Hawaii for a layover and I think my fellow BOTLs deserve an explanation! The company I research for, Merck, whisked me away to China the same day I was given the notice (about a month ago). I had very little prep before the flight and in-flight I had to go over notes with fellow engineers and didn't have time to announce my break. While at Merck, I signed a NDA, so I can't really talk about the work that happened, but more importantly, certain provinces in China have a censorship for Cigar.com! I literally could not access it while I was in China for a month! But I am out of the censorship reach and I need to catch up on here!
-Nolagizmo is still leading the pack and has increased his lead to 5 points! -Unfortunately, not many drastic changes in the standings, with only some people dropping a spot or two. -It seems like Nolagizmo is unbeatable for now! -I thought women's beach volleyball would get more answers though! -This was a black sheep question but everyone answered correctly so no changes in the contention.
