Scores have been updated, but the tally of correct guesses for each shot has not. However, I’ve once again approved all of the wrong guesses so far (and all the right ones on shots closed for guessing). If you’re having trouble figuring whether you got a shot right or wrong, feel free to e-mail me.

The rules for shots 24-30 are as follows:

• The shots posted now are worth three points. They will be up until about midnight on Dec. 1. (That’s the evening of Nov. 30.) At that time, they’ll be replaced by slightly easier shots, each worth two points. Finally, about midnight on Dec. 3, they’ll be replaced by one-point shots, which will only be up for one day.
• The November game ends a little late (thanks to my travelling and laziness), at midnight on Dec. 4. At that time, I’ll tally the scores and declare the winner, who will receive a gift of my choice.

On Dec. 4 we’ll start a Christmas edition of Shot by Shot.
