Remember the game is on Wednesday, not Thursday. Bingo for Boston is a bit bizarre. I threw in some nonsense as usual but also some math—but it’s simple, simple math! No scowling or throwing up your hands in disgust. Come on, the women have to work their butts off for your enjoyment, both on and off the court and in the classroom. The least you could do is refresh a couple of math terms. I had to look them up (on the internet). You can too.
Here’s the card for the Boston College game:
A3 Seems self explanatory, but if I am muddy, as I often am, just ask. The answer will be rounded to the first decimal point. (5 and above is rounded up)
B2 It's FREE, but I would really be impressed if you knew something about the context.
B3 If an odd number of ND players score, there will be a median. If an even number of players score, name a player who scores closest to the median.
C1 OK, this could be tricky. Think about it. The question reads “for all ND players who play”. The answer could also be “none”. Either a name or “none”
C3 …or the last one you recall or is appropriate for a public site. You could also give the title of the last book you wrote.
A1: a second tier athletic school which somehow thinks it is ND's peer and rival*
A2: yes
A3: 4.5
B1: Guy
B2:
B3: Turner
C1: Butler, Benz, Cosgrove
C2: 7
C3: That's not my Puppy
*If snippy answers are not accepted, Boston College
A1 - Boston College
A2 - No
A3 - 4.3
B1 - Dickens
B2 - Nope
B3 - Jackie Young
C1 - None
C2 - 13
C3 - Cross The Line by James Patterson
A1: Boston College? (I figure it would be cheating to look it up, so that's my answer.)
A2: No.
A3: 4.4
B1: Guy
B2: Noo! But Harvard may be the Notre Dame of New England.
B3: Turner. By the way, when there's an even number, the median is the mean of the 2 middle values.
C1: If it's the mode, it has to be more than one player. The score will be zero and the players who play and are scoreless are Benz and Butler.
C2: 13
C3: Stargirl
You only have to guess one name though. It's possible that those who put "none" know what they are doing also.
A1- Not Notre Dame
A2- No. Not even on a commercial.
A3- The Tuck Rule results in 1.#5&6.
B1- Nehru King. Oh wait...
B2- ☘️ Don’t forget Fairfield U.
B3- Yes
C1- SCORE THE BALL, not the mode!
C2- All of them

I fear these answers are horrible, but one has to start somewhere.
I recently saw the movie. It was OK, but I was told the book was quite different.
