Nishinoshima, I just wonder - what happens if you are tied with someone? How do you apply the tie-breaker in that situation? (Laughing...)

Edit: changed answer #4 from "Ye" to "Asashoryu", as I read more carefully the wording of the question

Sorry to be annoying, but if you answer "no" to question 2, how can the answer to question 4 be Taikai?

You've foiled my secret plans! Actually, I've been copying my answer from the previous basho, kind of thinking of it like the lottery. Why change anything if it's all random? Somehow this time I thought, I'll change one answer, #4, since Chiyotaikai is now higher than Kaio on the banzuke. OOPS, I forgot to check and see if it affected other questions. (Sign of disapproval...) Maybe Nishi-san will give me a pass and let me change #2? If not, I completely understand and I will have to stand by my screwed up selections. In the event that the tie break is decided by #3, I still have a chance!
