Haha. Still trying to work out how to grade it myself.
I'm certain anything higher than a 50% grade would be an error.

Picasso was a very good academic realist before moving on to break all the rules... not to be construed as you would be a Picasso of programming but you get the gist

Because they are genious?
Or because their programs are totally surrealistic?

In the day you had "data base administrators" that would force feed their normalized databases on the application developers; whether it made sense or not. That, and "QA". Enjoy it if it lasts (being "in charge").

Experience is when you start designing things right the first time. It's also when you have a large enough codebase/repertoire of projects that nothing's really new anymore...it's just a matter of remembering where you did that thing and translating it and quite possibly improving it.
Software is a great job that way...getting paid to make something out of nothing and constantly building on what you learned yesterday! It's the people that annoy me.

One I prepared in case Richard's didn't show up:
Dorothea disoriented by OG's last few. (4,3) (3,4)

Yes! I liked the double meaning of disoriented, as well as the answer.

I noticed you didn't use the "e" in Dorothea though?
Was this an oversight, or is that a valid use of "disorientated"? Like is that a "partial anagram" indicator of some kind?

Often "losing direction" or a similar phrase is used to indicate dropping of one of N S E W. But here I was specifically taking out the East (orient). (Also, my d-word is two letters shorter than yours.)

I thought I had solved it, but I seem to have ended up with nothing.

If nobody else posts the solution, I'm going to declare you the winner.
