"At least one iPhone gets a 120 hz refresh rate display" |
1 |
| - This was nearly a reuse of a previous pick before the live chat caught it. The fix was to specify an exact refresh rate to make it more specific.
|
| Federico |
Regular
|
"There will be a setting to disable the higher refresh rate in at least one of the new iPhones" |
1 |
| - Was originally just a pick about a new, as-yet-unannounced iOS 15 feature, but the hosts suspected that was another reuse.
- In retrospect, this was a tricky pick to grade because how would we know the day after the event? Federico provides some insider information indicating that the setting does exist, but can it be said to have "come true", as the rule states, without proof? The meaning of truth itself is debated, perhaps a philosophical high point for the Rickies. The point is ultimately granted, with the understanding that in the future, the rules will be amended to clarify that picks must be publicly verifiable to earn points.

Myke wins the coin flip for first place, preserving his dual Chairmanship and his streak of coin flip wins, but was there something unusual about that voice? Hmm...

💸 Flexie Scores
- Federico: 60.0% (3/5)
- Stephen: 40.0% (2/5)
- Myke: 40.0% (2/5)
Federico decides that he is "Prince Flexie", either due to his high donation total or his Flexie prowess.
Myke finally tastes defeat in coin flips, and donates $75 to, of course, St. Jude. James Thomson's tricky insertion of Jason Snell into the Relay coin flipper is finally discovered (deviously, this mode only turns on during Connected's typical recording time). As punishment, Jason and James are ordered to donate to St. Jude as well, and James is also banned from flipping coins.
