Forget what I said Tuesday and Wednesday. Had no real idea either day. Missing algorithm stings.
Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?

No guess Tuesday except "crap, not algebra." Stings that a brain lock cost me my second ever 5/5.

That may be the first time ever that I got all three extras.

Nobody yet has matched me on my incorrect guess of 'calculation'. I mispronounced "world heritage sites" as "wonders of the ancient world".

If I had 50 cents for every math question I got right, I'd have $6.30 by now.

Knew algebra was wrong Tuesday and couldn't come up with anything else Arabic, but would not have put it down.

Great choices as usual. But I would have included, "My incorrect guess for the Friday FJ! clue was Italy Eng...." You know, just in case.

Wasn't the clue about a play? There is no way to confuse My Fair Lady with the play.

Is there a J! convention that musical stage plays are always referred to as "musicals" rather than "plays"?
