I did pretty well except for that one wrong one. I tried the Champ Raptors one with someone who was a champ with a different team but played on the Raps but that was not okay. Had to win with Toronto.

My best guess had a 0.008%. I did not know you get that extra zero. That was a good one.

And they don't let you repeat a player. I was trying to use the same player for two different squares but they wouldn't let that happen.

If I understand the rarity score right, you had a total of 11 with your 8 guesses, and then got hit with 100 for your wrong guess.  You were getting ready to crush my score, and only the non-obvious rules saved me for today.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Oh wow, always a shock when you are planning a 2-3 guess solution and it works out that your first guess played with both guys.

Then you wonder when the heck did those two play together and that was bloody obvious once the surprise passed. Focused too much on a certain period in each player's career. Overlooked others. Lucky guess.

Pushed too hard for a low rarity score, and missed on several guesses.

Couldn't get a fresh grid for today.

Tried a baseball one instead.

Okay, that took a fair bit of effort trying to think of end of the bench guys or older players instead of just starters from last 10-20yrs. I did very well on all except one. All 1% or lower. The one higher number was 6%. I couldn't think of anyone other than him. The Suns Bulls one. The GSW Suns one was tough too.

The 5+ assist players were all big name guys. All All-Stars. All older guys though so that kept the score low.

I had 4 journeyman types. Not journeyman throughout their careers but at the end of their careers when switching from low minute role on one team to another. They were all legit good quality starters except for 1 but on the wrong end of their careers and filling end of bench roster spots. I had one from one of MJ's Bulls teams. Another from Mark Cuban's free spending Mavs.

Not sure if it is more fun taking your first good guess or straining to find your best possible guess. Sort of like Mike D'Antoni's take the first good shot you can get. Might be more fun. Not necessarily first shot but first good shot.

I'm not sure I can get much lower than 10. It was only that one guess at 6% that was above 1%. I suppose you could get one some time where you can get all 9 on a low 1% type score. So the other 8 guesses added up to 3.9% so I presume the 10 score is the 6% and the 3.9% together to get 10. So if that was only around 1% that would have kept me down to a score of 5. I think that is how it works.

I had three 0.2%, two 0.3%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1% and the 6%.

Wish I'd have taken a bit more time with it.  Had one at 20% and one at 14%, the rest I'm satisfied with.  Could've definitely done better given more consideration.
