There’s no comparison between the two in terms of danger. However, if you had done a pie chart depicting the fact that going into a battle of wits with a Sicilian when death is on the line (HAHAHA! AHAHAHAHA! AHAHAA…..) is only slightly lesser known.
Yeah, the line is “The most famous,” not “the most dangerous.” I’d argue that the former is more famous BECAUSE it’s more dangerous, but it’s still a goof on your chart.
I give it a 4 for concept, 1.5 for execution – would be better like 51% ‘land war in Asia’, 49% (slightly less well known) ‘against a Sicilian’. Variable is ‘General knowledge of classic blunders’.
Okay at 2 minutes there are 2 glasses of wine already on the table and 2 behind his back therefore there are 4 glasses of wine in play…bad video editing ooooopies
A complete misuse of a pie chart. Never was there an indication by the sicilian referenced here that he was talking about 100% of anything. The two blunders given certainly do not represent all of the relative danger by any measure. Use a bar chart. Disappointing for such a great reference.

That cheat sheet is pretty annoying actually …
Wow – that re-enactment on the cheat sheet was tres bizarre.

Yup, indeed. “But only slightly less well known is this…”

The re-enactment Westley is much less sexy than movie Westley.

In the re-enactment, when he dies, he falls the wrong way. Just thought this should be known.
By the way, the line is “…never go IN against a Sicilian…”.
Aaron –
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I, too, have spent years developing a resistance to iocane powder.
