Great rivalries always push people to accomplish great things: The Habs and Maple Leafs, USA and Russia, and of course, Dan and Matt. Unfornuntaly for Matthew Fong, in every rivalry there is a loser but kay sera sera, c'est la vie. Here are some frequently asked questions concerning this rivalry and the shoresheet:

How did this rivalry start?
In Grade 10, Dan began to demonstrate his infinite superiority over Matthew Fong and the rivalry was born. Over the years, more and more of Dan's accomplishment's instilled a sense of jealousy and inferiority in Matt, culminated by a brilliant 7-6 victory on the Physics IB exam by Dan amongst countless other accomplishments which will not be listed here for fear that my 11 megs of web page space will be used up.

What is the Scoresheet?
While some people may claim that games can be played for fun and that there does not always have to be a winner, these people have obviously lost one too many brain cells (yes, I know it's an awful pun) since there must be a clear cut winner and loser in any match. So the scoresheet was created to keep track of "wins", "loses" and "ties" for all tests, quizzes, labs and such this year. Tic-Tac-Toe matches and certain "tests" (see Oxford definition, wink, wink) will not be counted for this scoresheet.

What other infantile and childish competitions have been thought up between these two nit-wits?
Well there was "The Test" which pitted Dan the Great against Matthew the Transcendant One in a test of 100 useless and pointless questions. While we do not need to reveal the winner of such a test here, it should be noted that Matt received 20/100 for this test for a shamefull 20%.

Well, which one of them is greater
While I feel that such an opinion on the matter is very subjective, the answer can be summed up in a word: Dan.
