	I finally figured out beans with 17 seconds to go. Whew, I was freaking out (especially since my sister hits more batters than any other pitcher my dad has ever had on his softball team)

	Got beans in error, thinking it was the answer to PULSES... haven't a clue about anything to do with baseball, even after doing so many Sporcle quizzes!

	I thought little ringers was in relation to bringing in a ringer in a childs sports game...i need to do more lateral thinking.

	beans with 21 seconds left... I kept thinking hitting the ball with a BAT... tough clue

	For those who aren't baseball afficianados, what does beans have to do with baseball?

	expat:	Apr 24th, 2011 at 13:14 GMT		6 points
	@Yvonne ... when a Pitcher hits the batter in the head with the ball that is called a beaning, hence the pitcher beans the batter. Bean is slang for head.

	Easter doesn't end lent, Holy Thursday does.

	@doggielover2579: it's WASTED, an alternative for MASKED (faces at Mardi Gras). I don't really get it, but I found it amusing anyway because, as my sister so often puts it, I am easily amused.

	@climber_v12--It's because of the very liberal drinking that goes on during the Mardi Gras season, and esp. in the Monday & Tuesday before Lent. See archived comments also.

	can you tell me how to make a word ladder

	TimeAndTide:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 00:41 GMT		3 points
	Excellent! Love the 3-4-5-6 progression ... love that each of the ladders has the same number of rungs ... love the common theme pairs. Truly outstanding. @expat: Excellent explanation for the meaning of "beans" in the baseball context. Although a baseball fan since childhood, I actually got that one before even seeing the clue. Once I got "jelly", I just knew "beans" was going to be the bottom rung! Five orbs ... six if they had 'em.

	@bwarg: First think of two or more thematically related words with the same number of letters. Then, starting from one, try changing one letter at a time to get to the next, with each step along the way a decently clue-able answer. Sometimes it's really tricky; other times everything just falls into place. Anyway, once you get the ladder of words, then make up clues for them. I like to use a smattering of easy clues and somewhat trickier clues. If there's a word that's a bit obscure, then I go for as straightforward a clue as I can. Last piece of advice, and perhaps the most important: Test your quiz several times before posting it, to make sure you work the kinks out of it. (This goes for all quizzes, of course.) Have fun with it!

	@bwarg: The Sporcle blog has a great article written by sproutcm that gives some very helpful information on making word ladders. I highly recommend checking it out - http://www.sporcle.com/blog/2011/03/sporcle-word-ladders-best-practices/

	"wasted" FTW. Best bonus ever.

	I missed one of the answers, but at least now I know what I'm having with my lunch.

	Geological "period" is confusing since a geological period is technically Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, etc. and an "age" is a much smaller unit of geologic time. Maybe switch it to "Geologic timespan"?
