Re: Friday, January 5, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

A location guide made sense for Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. Horticultural terms? Maybe that might make sense if I thought about it more? Wound up going with that.

I went with the girl instead of the bull. 1987 should've made it obviously wrong, but I fearlessly charged ahead. Whoops. :oops:

Outside of over-wagering on a lock game, I can't think of a worse wager than third place wagering all $8100 in Final.

I most likely would not have gotten it without the Latin part of the clue. The Latin certainly helped me tremendously at least. :D

I guessed "The Scream." Focused too much thinking of a painting that someone may have said it looked like a child drew it, and not enough on the hodgepodge of body parts.

Well "to suspend" is to cut short. Were suspenders popular in the 40s? Maybe? Well didn't have anything better, so I went with suspenders.

"Nixon Quits" here. While the answer obviously had something to do with Nixon stepping down as President, I'm not sure how to figure out what wording might've been used for the headline.

I didn't think FJ! was that bad, because really, WECIB? I figured "less than" was most likely correct, because nothing else really made sense for the second part of the clue.

Ilsa Lund. I completely forgot the "stacatto" part of the clue in trying to think of an answer :P.

I thought midsummer and summer solstice were the same thing? I didn't understand why summer solstice was counted as wrong.

I understood the question perfectly... which didn't help me. Kansas City just seemed to make complete sense! It's been a while since I've been that confident in an answer that turned out wrong :P.

I don't really understand why Sadie was ruled against. It looked like Tubman to me... or, upon looking more closely, it looked like T-U-B-M, followed by two indistinct scribbles that could reasonably be read as an A and an N.

I'm not surprised. Columbia and Bolivia (my guess) also seemed like perfectly reasonable guesses. The bigger surprise was two contestants both picking a country that doesn't border Brazil at all.

Yeah, that was one nasty FJ! Jaipur seemed like "what else could it be?" I'm not sure how you were meant to arrive at the right answer unless you just happened to already know that specific bit of trivia.

For anyone living in New Orleans, and probably no one else in the country, the Chalmette Monument was extreme negbait. Turns out that national park is only slightly bigger (125.6 acres), but the monument itself isn't anywhere close to 630 feet tall (only 100 feet tall). Apparently never realized jus...

I was surprised nuggets was accepted for McNuggets. I remember it was negged that exact same response not too long ago.

The vole clue was terrible. It was a really easy clue asked in absolutely the most confusing way possible. I didn't understand the clue until long after Ken revealed the answer, and I'm pretty sure the awful wording led to it being a triple stumper.

I was surprised this was a triple miss, and I got Atlanta pretty quickly. I guess I can see how, if going west to east, you may not get to Georgia in thirty seconds, but I guess looking at the posts here, this clue was harder than I realized.
