(quoting and de-spoilerizing in appropriate thread)

I got them and didn't find it hard. The Curies famously discovered radium, and prior to that (albeit less famously) named polonium for Marie's home country. I doubt James would have missed it.
Thanks, for the insight and change of venue. I read as many threads as I could but saved Tuesdays for last to see how Rob narrated it afterward and because it was already 70 posts. I misplaced this element question even while plainly remembering Rob's opening foot in mouth with Potassium.

I knew both were Curie's discoveries, but somehow kept them in separate file drawers.

I was wondering if there is an East and West Pole I never learned about.

I was surprised Dhruv did poorly in PAC 12 after crushing the sports category in the first round.

Tough day, Rob. But you did much better than I ever will on the show.

Another Teen Tournament FJ. They had to narrow it down to just six states before even getting to the meat of the clue?
