I'm just happy that I wasn't sniped yet again. I think I have been sniped twice by 1 minute.

 

This was a tough question. I had never heard of this before. I had to look it up.

Arrgh - Greg, you're lucky I didn't guess - I was the second to view the question and I thought it was Garrett - could have gone and looked in my Bowers book, but no - more pressing matters were at hand! Bummer....congrats!
