Reminder!, and More Israelis
A brief reminder: if you wish to submit responses to The Twenty Kashias, make sure you do so within the next 24 hours. After that, the responses will be posted. Thank you.
We now return to "Two Truths and a Lie: Israeli Version" KYMG, the fictitious Ma'aleh Gilboa network.
DIRECTIONS: Three statements are given about an Israeli at YMG. In your response, write what you think is the incorrect statement for each person. Points are only awarded for getting all of them right. Bonus points, previously awarded only after the regular questions were all answered correctly, are now given out separately. Use a No. 2 pencil, making sure to clearly erase any changed answer.
I'm not sure why SAT-like directions follow a TV-like introduction, but oh well. Why not?

Darn it...I should have gone with my first instinct about the basketball question...I would've shot ahead! Oh well...I maintain my one-point lead!
despite your unfair advantage of having met all these kids, a one point lead is nothing to brag about. you may still be in first place, but not for long!
Famous pairs, that's what I meant. Good call on Jekyll/Hyde, but I'm going to allow it as a valid pair (perhaps it is an exception; if there's one thing I've learned here it's that just when you think you've got the rule down, there's an exception to ruin everything!). Tom and Jerry- yes, they aren't human, but again, the focus is on the pair aspect, so I will once again allow it.
