A review that said "40 of 93."
What movie would you think of? This was declined, twice. I even had to explain it. Now if you saw it.....what would you say?
What movie is it for??? Should it be passed? |

Given that rockgolf's review for it has been top 10 lately, i can only think of United 93 for which the 93 might be relevent
If I'm right, I still don't know what the 40 stands for or what the review means, though |

there were 40 passengers on flight 93. Simple enough? |

Although not sure that us regulars should use the fourum to challenge declines - we've seen before where that can lead
No problem with newbies doing it as they try to figure out the site, but us old-timers should try to resist the urge |

Hm. Well, if I hadn't have seen a couple of reviews on the site recently, I wouldn't have a clue what flight number crashed that day. I certainly wouldn't know how many passengers were on it. This might be general American knowledge, but nope, news to me.
For me, the number '93' means nothing, but '9/11' means a hell of a lot. I think it's too vague and wouldn't stand up to the test of time. If I had to guess what film it was for, I'd be trying to figure out what happened in 1993 that I was missing. |

Thanx. Guess I was only thinking in American terms. Didnt think in worldly terms. thanx for the point of view. |

I read there were fewer than 40. Per Wikipedia (yeah, but still...),
quote: It had 182 seats but was only carrying 37 passengers (including the hijackers) and 7 crew members including the captain Jason Dahl, and his first officer, LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Some early accounts say 38 passengers - this was apparently due to the fact that one passenger had booked two seats. The four hijackers were seated in first class.

Flight 93
The heading reads "Flight 93: Forty lives, one destiny "
So it includes the crew too...........
So can I put? "40 lives of 93"? |

How about "93, take away 40" Feel free to use or ignore, TitanPa.
I'm not sure, mind - not that I'm a MERP or anything, but I've got a feeling that any variation on this theme is going to be deemed too obscure. |

I would have said "93 took away 40" but that's just me. |

You could make it completely obscure: "9/11's 93's 40".
Don't feel bad. I could never get "12/25 > 10/31" approved. Can anyone guess the picture? |

I'll take a stab at this one. |

Yeah, that would be my guess, too.
Of course, the neat thing about this is that it's also a mathematically correct statement.
