Falafel came in a slamming 1st place in terms of the number of correct answers as of today. David Pressar, who had gotten the highest score out of 17 testees on the 3rd test this January<\/a>, took 2nd place.<\/p>\n

In spite of the tight schedule, we had 28 testees in total during 34th Chicago Open.
