I have number 6 covered with my SATs.

Ditto. My career as a standardized test-taker back in the day far exceeded any of my pitiful running accomplishments, past or forseeable future. But the running's a whole lot more rewarding.

These are in no way comparable but here goes...

1) Made a hole in one - A 210 yd par 3 with a 5 wood. The accomplishment was preceded with a sextet-bogey on the preceding hole, finished with a 92.

2) Won over $100,000 in the lottery - Am philosophically opposed to the lottery but did win $60 on an airport slot machine (which is kind of like winning the lottery because airport slots never pay).

3) Raced in the Olympics - Ran the last 10k of the Barcelona marathon course exactly one week before the opening ceremonies.

4) Saved a life due to a brave and heroic action (I saved someone with the Heimlich but not brave or heroic) - While a beach lifeguard I saved an 8 year old boy who had drowned in 8 inches of water due to epileptic seizure. The heroic part was prying his mouth open wide enough to get him a breath. Pretty scary in retrospect but not at the time. He fully recovered.

5) Won a race with more than 8,000 entrants – Closest I came was a win in a triathlon with 800. Numerous wins in "trophy races" (defined as a race that is so remote that there is a reasonable chance that anybody good wouldn’t bother) that may have had 100 or so.

6) Got a perfect score on the SAT's or GRE's - Define "perfect"...

1) Made a hole in one. Yes and no. 1st shot went just over the green rolled down a hill and went out of bounds. 3 off the tee right in the hole for a par, so technically no.

2) Won over $100,000 in the lottery. No but my mother a share of 25 million with her coworkers. Each person received over 200k and my dad won a 1/4 split of 250K another time.

3) Raced in the Olympics. Not even close.

4) Saved a life due to a brave and heroic action (I saved someone with the heimlich but not brave or heroic). Yes, I pulled an unconscious person out of a burning building once.

5) Won a race with more than 8,000 entrants. Not even close.

6) Got a perfect score on the SAT's or GRE's. Not applicable.

I think we can rule out perfection on the verbal portions for anyone who writes "sextet-bogey" - unless you mean that you and your five buddies each scored a bogey.

You may be right there but I was under the understanding that sextet refers to people or things. In this case, I was referring to 6 things - shots over par. I am not sure what the correct terminology for 6 over par because on the PGA Tour they simply refer to it as "other" and everyone else says "no comment".

sextuple

That's what I'd say anyhow, and as someone who's probably averaged about a sextuple bogey on those rare and miserable occasions I've shot a round, I should be as good authority as anyone.
