Someone should totally start a "Secret Bible Bee Statistics". It would be really fun to crunch some numbers so that we could have actual percentages to speculate endlessly with.
Secret, because Head Quarters is forever trying to throw us off the scent of any helpful tips and tricks we might accumulate over the years. I still don't think that it was very nice of Matthew to tell us that we probably wouldn't get three pagers, and then we got three pagers, and he get a two pager because he was an "M".
Wha...? Why you listening to me anyways?
I also ask myself this question.
*facedesk* LOL
Hindsight is twenty-twenty.
Indeed. I know that for a certainty. x) ^BTW, you could have just perfected all of your passages like I did! Well, almost. More or less. Actually, not quite. :P^

They were perfected until I stood up in front of the microphone. All of my verses except for the four and five pagers which were close, and one or two of the minor prophet three-pagers were unreliable. However, for the couple of days before I was definitely focusing on the one and two pagers, and they were undeniably faster, because I thought I would only need three pagers in semis (not on a timer).

I think that makes sense… except for the fact that I had about the same length of verses that you did, just differently divided. x)

Now in Semi-Finals, where the first contestant got asked a passage twice as long as the last contestant did… That wasn't quite fair in my book.

Oh, sure you did, but your two pagers were probably faster per word than your three pagers. Of course, it is likely that only getting like 3 and 1/2 hours of sleep the night before didn't help me think any faster.

Definitely not. I think they have too strong of a grasp on the sovereignty of God.

Well, maybe. I know that I was afraid of getting asked Zechariah 2 (two cards), Zechariah 12, and Micah 4; any of the others (even four or five card passages) would probably have been fine. :) You're probably right about the lost sleep.

Uh-oh…
