It is a shame; I wish I could play properly, too. But we shall just make the best of it.
What I can't decide is how many of those guesses are in earnest and how many are part of his attempt at subterfuge. Once he took his own name out of the pool, he had to double someone to supply a full slate of guesses -- I am honored to have been chosen for the role, and would like to thank both the mods and the Academy -- but unless he's gone abruptly dark horse on us, he didn't put my name on anything he might have authored. (Perhaps he remembers how effective that was last time?) Mathematically, that means that there's a chain of errors/misdirections between one of his guesses for me and the thing that he actually made.
So here's the question: which of these guesses are in earnest, and which are part of his sneaky plan?
