This isn't the Christmas tree record, but she does seem pretty badass!

Very pleased with my mathsing based on correct answer. May be less pleased when I see the median.

And Happy Birthday anonymous player.

I'm getting someone else to read the question for me tomorrow.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I was so unimpressed to learn that the record is 27... That actually sounds boring to watch...

Obviously, I'm one of the people who ridiculously overestimated how easy it is to bring down a tree and my reasoning (as with most of my reasoning in all aspects of life) must be based on cartoon logic, because I was thinking she was the Speedy Gonzales of tree chopping, and 2 minutes when you're waiting for a Pop Tart to come out of the toaster feels like an absolute eternity, so my concept of what you can do in a second was based on alternate toaster time...

Lumberjack sports and lumberjack world championships, there's something I didn't know existed.

WHERE DID THE TWO MINUTES COME FROM?

I was basing it on one minute...

Want me to double your answer?

I bet you were a happier and more fulfilled person not knowing.

I can't tell if the rest of my comment to EN didn't make the cut because it would give away my answer, or he just got sick of including everyone's calculations. I am pleasantly surprised with what the real answer is. Of course as the old saying goes: "when you are in the realm of Electric Nitwits Super Happy Fun Time Forum Games Sheepish Advent Calendar, it doesn't matter one cursed bit what the "correct" answer is."

Yeah, I try to edit out bits that give away someone's answer. You know, build the suspense

looksee

Yay (possibly) I was within one ... but median, median.

Lumberjacks and Lumberjills

Electric Nitwit

So the median was pretty close!
Lots of five-seconds-per-tree calcs put it at 24

As you may have gathered, LeVar took a big bullet for everyone today!

So very little change at the top

LeVar's slight overestimate means that looksee is in touch of getting off the bottom after just three days!

This is just too easy.

looksee

It takes someone getting -18 to move me - er... nowhere!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Don't want to win a stupid xmas game anyway... :rolleyes:

Bah Feckin Humbug

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaassssss!!!! I did it!!!!!!



Only went up one lousy place though.

Mam of 4

That's a few nights in a row that I've stayed in the same position(ooh matron ) happy enough with that !

ShaneU

Worst record ever, I could beat that

Declan A Walsh

What was I thinking of - 1 tree per second? :( Hopefully, the one and only time I get a negative score, leading to a bit of a tumble. Still, there's 13 days left - anything could happen! Right? :rolleyes:

the purple tin

No more tree themed questions Nitty, please. I know you love them but they are not very poplar with the players.
From what I can cedar there is very little love for them.
I think I can safely say that alder players are behind me on this one.
Oak kay?

I like them.

Even after just losing 18.8 points...

I still like them.

Declan A Walsh

Are you sure it wasn't the record for the least number of Christmas tress chopped in two minutes?

If someone told me at the start that the topic was going to be trees I'd have been quietly confident.

Posy

Woohoo, moved up one whole place!

If I stop the tree questions will you stop the puns?
