Coryat $45,200 (51R, 1W) DD 2/3 FJ :( +1 for falling for the India trap on FJ. Too slow on DD1, but if I had 1-2 extra seconds I would have gotten there. Not good enough to get credit. In hindsight, I can see the (white) elephant --> Thailand connection, but the existence of a book with the same ti...

US PRESIDENTS Two of the three decades between the 1730s and the 1960s in which no US presidents were born I don't see how that would be solvable in 30 seconds. Like lots of president clues, start at the ends. It's pretty unlikely it would require knowledge of early presidential birth years to get ...

Coryat $42800 (49R, 0W) DD 2/3 FJ :( Had a lackluster J! round but went 28/30 in DJ with one miss on a clam and one where I was too slow.
