I couldn’t figure out exactly what civil servant meant and put Truman. Truman died in '72, so that works. But I assumed previous presidents had lain in state (in the Capitol rotunda though?) and the term was meant to exclude elected officials. On a separate note, I just realized that I didn't know ...

So we're letting contestants omit articles in the middle of titles now? Is this a new rule? I confidently expected a score reversal on Londyn's "What is The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe?" But we came back from the break and no mention was made. After that I knew better than to expect a reversal for Kyl...

I can't remember if this has come up here before: LANDMARKS This 630-foot-tall landmark is arguably the most famous object in the world whose design is based on the hyperbolic cosine. What is the Gateway Arch? I like it! Gettable with a little thought. I took a slight detour to the Sydney Opera Hou...

She distinctly remembers sitting there and watching with a jar of Jiffy peanut butter and a spoon. Not only does McGruff date no further back than 1980, but Jiffy peanut butter has never existed! (Apologies if you knowingly inserted that detail as a joke.) You forgot to correct my spelling of the B...

WORLD GEOGRAPHY Besides Australia, it is the other country that is both the largest and first alphabetically in its continent. What is Algeria? (Negbait: Brazil, Canada) canada doesn't fit the bill? Central America is a subset of North America. So Belize. Most definitions of North America as a cont...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( McGruff was a WECIB. Mrs Penguin missed it because she has a memory (apparently false) of McGruff the Crime Dog from before 1980. Something about him appearing in a Berenstein Bears TV special in 1976. She distinctly remembers sitting there ...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Finally get to take this poll and it turns out to be a perfect week. Nice. I checked the "Negged with Nimitz" box (worst campaign button ever) even though I likely would have clammed. But from the couch, that was the nam...

$9600 after DJ! and missed FJ along with having a popular neg on the Navy guy. But if your neg was Nimitz, you didn't deduct $2000 since Nipun said it first, right? How about the Hundred Acre Wood(s) loophole? Work with me here. I think we can get you a runaway. Side discussion: Does Nimitz meet th...

$11200 in trash! Lock game. Got FJ right which would net me an extra $799 since I'd obviously bet to preserve my runaway. I'd bet the majority of boardies are at least headed into FJ in first place here, even if they don't have a runaway. For those that are close, there's a reversible error in the $...

Archived game: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6542 Game thread: https://jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5568 Mrs Penguin was out of town when this aired, so we just got around to seeing it. It more than merits a fourth podium poll, even a belated one. It's not just possible to win from ...

What's with the JBoard search box? Searched for Flucht, Nipun, and Tulshian and didn't turn up this thread. Google's site search turns it up just fine, first hit each time. Anyway, missed this game in February because Mrs P was out of town. Having seen it now, I think it merits a fourth podium poll ...

Bob's response on SONGS THAT "DO" is entered exactly as he gave it, so I didn't format it as a title, which would have needed 2 "diddy"s.

Is the clue entered exactly as written as well?

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD

Proctor & Gamble used supercomputers to give this snack its iconic shape: a hyperbolic paraboloid.

What are Pringles?

I like this one because I was able to figure it out.

Pedantry alert: Procter, not Proctor.

I wear a mask unless I'm just going for a walk and not going to be within 6 feet of anyone. Per the mishnah of Ben-Alietr, which our sect considers authoritative, I've checked the "always" box. I'm going to start keeping a bandana in my pocket just in case. Mrs Penguin wears a mask at work (she goes...

I got to see J! instead of a briefing today and watched off the DVR. I ran it back, and Leanne said "Kristen Gillibrand". I expected a score change before FJ!. Just got around to seeing this one. (It tickles me that I missed Hemant Mehta's games because of Lent.) I didn't pay attention on first hea...

Even though the choices are few, I started scrawling late and found Saskatchewan pretty unnerving to write quickly but legibly, so I fretted over whether I'd left something important out. But I got the other one wrong so it didn't matter... :( I wonder if they'd accept "What are SK and MB?" I think...
