* Game 3, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt)
Answer these 2012 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. Which US bank lost about $2,000,000,000 through a "terrible,
egregious mistake"?
2. Why was Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin in the news this
week?
* Game 3, Round 2 - History - Common Latin Phrases
This round is an in situ test of whether you are compos mentis
of Latin phrases, those short italic inclusions in sentences.
Give the most common intent or usage for each of terms, or you
will be kicking yourself ex post. Don't expect romanes eunt domus.
*Note* that the "most common" intent or usage is not necessarily
the same as a literal translation of the Latin. In some cases a
literal translation will be deemed too far from the most common
usage today, and marked wrong. Feel free to explain your answers
at length to clarify the meaning; just be sure, if you make two
guesses that are similar, to clearly identify them as separate
answers rather than one answer and a clarification.
1. Mala fide.
2. Alma mater.

4. Caveat emptor.
