[sumo] Day 3 video, torchbearer results [spoiler]

[Barbara]

Ohtsukasa, the day 3 torchbearer, lost to Hakurozan. Hakurozan used a 
henka to win the Torch. Hakurozan gave chikara-mizu to
Asofuji, but Asofuji lost his match.

Regarding the "Pass the Torch" game: Important news! On D3, I declared 
that Hakurozan won the torch from Ohtsukasa using a henka. This means 
that the answer to question 8 has already been determined! Q8 is "Y". 
Does this mean you have lost? No, it is likely that the winning entry 
will have at least one incorrect answer anyway. Furthermore, I'm 
allowing everyone to revise their entry one time provided it is not the 
final day. Should you revise now? This is a matter of strategy. Early 
revision may mean you are first to grab the right answer and hold onto 
it, but it also locks you in. Later in the tournament more questions may 
become determined too, and if you wait you can revise later. It's your 
decision. Develop your strategy.

Now the videos.

As far as videos go, pardon me if I seem obsessed with Kotooushu's 
recent win by henka on day 1.  It was so totally out of place for the 
top Ozeki to win over a low ranked man that way, that there had to be 
something happen to balance it out.  I was waiting for the other shoe to 
drop. Today it did, big time. This was perhaps the grossest, ugliest 
gyoji mis-call I can remember which did not evoke a mono-ii from the 
shimpan.  Karma?  Kotooushu went back on his promise when he got his 
rank to "bring honor to the rank of Ozeki".  The shimpan aren't above 
lending a hand to cosmic karma in this case to punish Kotooushu.  Think 
I'm overreacting? Then tell me so.  After watching the video.

Then the big fall, in the next video.  As Murray Johnson said, "now the 
cat is among the pigeons".  This cat might get pecked a bit.  Savor 
every millisecond of it while watching the video.
