Mark, the listed correct response to the Jan Brewer clue should be Governor of Arizona, not just Arizona.

Fixed. Thanks. Yeah, I guess wishful thinking on my part that the clue had named governor and only asked for the state.

MIssed Katniss, missed Arizona. 1/5 on Katy Perry ("Roar").

Since Wednesday's included the helpfully (though not to me) leading "fittingly..." they ought to have inserted the equally helpful "irrelevantly..." before the pair of visitors to the Eiffel Tower.

Good point. Or something like "...visitors included foreigners like Buffalo Bill and the Prince of Wales..."
