The Week Contest
This week’s question: The average nine-inning Major
League Baseball game lasted a record 3 hours, 5 min-
utes, 35 seconds this season, up from 2 hours, 46 min-
utes in 2005. Please come up with a medical term to
describe the fatigue felt by fans when a baseball game
creeps into the third hour.
Last week’s contest: Japan Airlines recently added a
“child icon” to its online seat maps, so fliers can identify
seats that will be occupied by passengers ages 2 and

JAL could use to appeal to fliers who want to avoid
screaming infants.
THE WINNER: Avoid our frequent criers
Ivan Kershner, Salem, S.C.
SECOND PLACE: Less “wah,” more “aah”
