I agree with Robert here. I didknow this piece of trivia and didn't realize the origin was not more widely known, but it's not at all what I expect from a FJ.

I'm hoping for my first 5/5 week since the Teen Tournament.

I'd say no on Don Juan, as a cursory search suggests the opera is still known as Don Giovanni in Spain.

This organization consisting of enthusiasts of a particular mode of transportation was banned in the Netherlands in 2019.

The Algonquin Round Table, like the Dreyfuss Affair, is one of those concepts beloved by the writers that any prospective contestant absolutely must know.

Algonquin Hotel. Judges? —Bob

I say yes.

I'm finishing up mine for next week. If somebody would like to take a look once I'm done it would be appreciated.

Edit: I have an editor now, thanks.

I got 99 problems, and this FJ is one... :oops: Yes, I put down the wrong number...very bummed now that I know the number wasn't required...Any chance they were told in advance they didn't need one? It seems odd that neither Alex nor Muhammed attempted it. 95 Theses is the standard way of referring...

I'm surprised about how much harder "Dracula" seems to have been than "New Deal." If one can get past the Irish/British confusion, "character who lives in a cold, beaten-up castle" leads to very few places, it seems to me, whereas "two monosyllables" has the potential to get one very stuck indeed i...

Oliver Twist though not confident because of his not being the narrator.

I didn't come up with it, but I have read about compound phamacies in the context of the controversy over the secrecy of where lethal injection drugs come from.

Seemed unnecessarily vague for an FJ clue, maybe they thought "battlements" would steer people in the right direction? That has to be the intended TOM; knowing that a "battlement" was part of a castle. I admit that I did not know the term. I focused on "broken", trying to think of characters living...

Should have gotten FJ as I am very familiar with the term, but instead I could not get "manifestation" out of my head. And really, except for the whole derived-from-Sanskrit thing, it is not too bad. "Sanskrit" primed me for Hinduism, and I know that manifestations of gods are called avatars in Hin...

Trivia question: Who else had "Dracula" as the answer in their second FJ?

I can't find exact numbers or verification but it is tease-out-able so this is kind of a "just for fun" trivia question: This division I college football team has been accused of unfairly benefiting from its average player age consistently being much older than other schools. What is BYU? BYU does n...

Spoiled on Wednesday's but I suspect I likely would have missed it.

They say get there two hours early, but there's usually no reason for that.

I used to have to do that regardless because my somewhat common name was shared with somebody on one of the magic lists, but it apparently got cleared up eventually.

This really should be a tournament, though, of at least 15 players. Roger Craig oughta be involved, as well as Emma, Buzzy, Alex Jacob, and others. I'd put in David Madden and Larissa Kelly as well, especially since they were a part of the winning team in All-Stars. I disagree; there have been enou...

Monday - Left the "s" off "lives"
Tuesday - I don't remember what I put, honestly
Wednesday - Bernoulli
Friday - Japan and China

I have two clues on the same topic, same category, same response. At first, pick one of the two clues. I think the second is a little harder, but feedback's welcome.

Wasn't there a TOC participant from Bend, OR?

Rachel Lindgren.

I didn't realize "jeremiad" was so obscure.
