Andrew Wang/anecdotes

• Andrew's tossup for 2018 EFT on "these two elements" with the answerline "carbon and carbon" was received ambivalently, with some praising the tossup as unusually creative and others, such as Graham Reid, calling his use of the pronoun "these two elements" "pathological." Nonetheless, the fact that the answer had come up before caused multiple players in future tournaments to neg chemistry tossups with "carbon and carbon."

• A dumb comment made by Andrew at 2015 ACF Nationals has apparently resulted in British quiz teams jokingly teaching their new recruits that "you gotta know the plot elements of the 5 Tamil epics."

• At the 2018 HSNCT mirror of PACENSC Andrew successfully recognized a Smogon shitpost so quickly that it caused question writer and set editor Daniel Xu to go "what the hell?" while observing.
