So? Did you figure something out? Do you have a mnemonic you’d like to share?MattKnowles wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 10:45 pm
Last time Caligula/Nero come up as a response I missed it and decided to figure it out or use a mnemonic. So that worked..

To echo Mark's point, you gotta know your 7 Wonders guys. I knew he was doomed when he bet only 10k. Thats an all-or-nothing situation there, going half-way does nothing to improve your odds, as evidence by Brian still having the lock.

I used the mnemonic “All Tigers Can Claw Now” to remember the order of Augustus/Tiberius/Caligula/Claudius/Nero. I make no claim that it doesn’t sound stupid. I know Caligula and Nero weren’t next to each other, else Rome would have fallen sooner, so the Cs don’t confuse me. I’m not sure why I came up with that sentence, maybe a clue mentioned a bad emperor letting tigers attack people or I saw a commercial for Frosted Flakes. No idea if that will work for anybody else. The clue mentioned the 3rd emperor so I got it from the mnemonic immediately.brick wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:41 amSo? Did you figure something out?

Yes, the 7 wonders should definitely be on your short list study guide.

Very nice. No problem with the C's; "Claw" obviously is Claudius and "CA" matches CAligula. Many putative mnemonics don't address the issue of multiple words starting with the same letter.MattKnowles wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 12:43 pmI used the mnemonic “All Tigers Can Claw Now” to remember the order of Augustus/Tiberius/Caligula/Claudius/Nero.

Goethe on foreign pronunciations. I think that's a good rule.talkingaway wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 11:53 pm
I think there's more leeway on foreign words and phrases that would be reasonably difficult for a native English speaker to say.
I'm smart and I want respect.

Did anyone know "June gloom"? That seemed like a very California-centric clue.
Ran 3 Letter Responses.
"Up in the air" was my only miss in Synonym. NHO the movie.
Blanking on "silla" cost me the run in Libros en Español.
0/5 in Song References. Those were some really deep cuts. Any reason I should know $400 was John Mayer and not any other John?
Instaget FJ! I think it would have been funny:L if they'd played the "we'll leave the light on for you" fiddle music in place of the FJ! music.

Ugh! More than a dozen media clues and some of them double images.
It shows that the boards can be cleared as the game also featured a lot of category jumping.
I've always gotten the following error when clicking on any of the links, and I always assumed they were broken for everyone...
Is it just me?Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I did but I'm from there. You may be right that it's not known elsewhere. I'm curious if it's even known in Northern California or more than 100 miles from the coast.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 8:36 pm Did anyone know "June gloom"? That seemed like a very California-centric clue.

None of the links have worked for something like the last 6 years. I'm not sure that eventual is ever going to come to pass.
