   But at least you had the answer there!   
      
   Some time back when Mark posted the results of a Current Events around,   
   I was puzzled that no one had gotten who got the bronze medal in the   
   World Championships in ice hockey, something I knew very well.   
      
   I went back and checked the answer slate and found that I had the question   
   in the post, but the answer was missing. I suspsect I had left the next   
   question there in case I would figure it out and when I deleted it, I   
   mistakenly deleted the line that said Latvia as well.   
      
   Oh well.
