I was at a train station in Des Moines. I had been traveling for the better part of three months. ... While I was standing there with my ticket under the nozzle, I was approached from behind from a tall man in a black trench coat. He was soaking wet, from his head to his shoes.

Yes, there is a lag between when the score appears on your "Recent Scores" page and when your Sliding PLB score is updated.

In the Bahamas last year, I picked up a copy of "The Mathematics of Poker" by Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman (I believe it had just been released). It is by far the most comprehensive and thorough read on the subject I have found.

[quote user="pigalet42"] I liked the old one about the child... my mind's blanking, somebody help me out...

I know this looks a bit like sour grapes since I'm not very close in the running here, so let me preface this post by saying I've had a lot of fun with this game, and I'm not suggesting that anything should change for this particular competition.

The Sortable Rankings do not reset at the first of the year. They use the scoring rules of the Sliding PLB, namely, all scores from the last sliding year count, with more weight given to more recent scores.

Free $5.00 on PS to the 1st person who figures this out. Edit: The first time through I figured out the first few characters in my head and speculated on the ending. Free $5.00 on PS to the 1st person to PM me saying "I Love Kate" P.S. Keep the $5 for another contest. I enjoy these, like what it adds to the community, and would like to see it go to someone else.

From the Leaderboard FAQ, Question 3 : How does the sliding leaderboard work? : "The Sliding Leaderboard is the leaderboard that factors into the results portion of the PocketFives.com World Wide Rankings. The Sliding PLB is also the sole source of information for all Sortable Rankings (i.e. rankings by country, age, and other criteria). The Sliding Leaderboard combines a player's top 40 finishes, with a maximum of 24 from any single site and spans the most recent 12 months of data collected by PocketFives
