The clue didn't give a template though. It just said "Amstel blah blah blah blah". If you've NHO Amstel, it very well could be anywhere.seaborgium wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 12:30 am I didn't say make up a world capital name by that template, I said name a capital.

Went with Morocco and Lebanon because I misread the clue and thought it wanted the two smallest countries. Considered Vatican City and San Marino but ignored Monaco. I was very tired Monday and Tuesday and I played very poorly. That's a good lesson to learn the easy way.

It didn't say "Amstel blah blah blah" even figuratively. It's a $200 clue; if you've NHO Amstel you're supposed to go, "Oh, Amstel, sounds like Amsterdam, oh, a dam, like on a river, I get why it's called that now."TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 8:03 pmThe clue didn't give a template though.

(I'd take this into the thread, but there are posts from today in there.)

Or just go "I've NHO Amstel,, and that's literally all you're giving me in the top box? There isn't even the vaguest hint anywhere in the clue, so without so much as a nudge, it might as well be anywhere in the world."seaborgium wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 9:38 pm It didn't say "Amstel blah blah blah" even figuratively.

Hey, you're the one who came in here first saying what "Amstel" sounds like.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 9:47 pmAgain, because world capitals always share part of a name with the river they're by, right?
