100%
I once got five extra-credit points on a physics test because I knew how to spell “Krzyzewski.” (My teacher went to Duke.) I missed his other Duke bonus question — who’s the only Duke alum to play on an NBA championship team? At the time (2004), it was Danny Ferry (with the Spurs). Not sure if there have been any more since then.

I’ve always been a freakishly good speller and a sports nut, but I got 100% on this quiz!! It was fun.

Alright, this is completely off topic, but that pb&j that’s always at the top of these columns look friggin’ amazing, and everytime I see it I want a pb&j.
I mean, is that not an exceptionally great looking sandwich?
