SUPER BOWL CONTEST: 10 questions, 10 coin-flips (UPDATED WITH RESULTS)
Mike Hlas Feb. 4, 2011 12:07 am
WE HAVE A WINNER.
Chris Taylor had a phenomenal showing of making picks of what truly were coin-flips.
Chris got 8 out of 10 right, edging DanishHawk and Anne Edwards, who had 7. I was one of four forecasters who got 6.
Brian Johnson and Captain America (Steve Rogers) were at the bottom with 3 correct.
So Chris Taylor is the Hlog's Official Genius of 2011. Nice going, Chris. Just to be safe, though, don't include that on your resume. It isn't likely to cut any ice with a potential employer.

a) more than 35.5 yards
b) less than 35.5 yards
