For once we're going to disagree on something Raj ;) Having moderated this past weekend I recall that question pretty well -- I thought the tossup was poorly written -- beginning with a reference to the Grand Inquisitor section (albeit not by "name") will allow way too many people who have never read the book to power it; but the section is indeed often characterized as a "prose poem" -- in fact, a couple years ago an ACF tossup with "Grand Inquisitor" as the answer used that lead-in. It's probably in Benet's or some such source. As for another question (not sure if it was in the Div. I set) -- there certainly are not 77 avenues in Manhattan (the avenues run north/south)... my 3 cents, Nathan --- In quizbowl_at_yahoogroups.com, tgallows <no_reply_at_y...> wrote: > Besides the typo on the Pendleton question, two other (more > significant) errors I noticed were (1) a tossup referring to the Grand > Inquisitor section of Brothers Karamazov as a poem, and (2) a bonus > asking about the designer of Seagram Building which did not accept > Philip Johnson as an answer.
