This week, we had 2 triple stumpers and 2 FJ!’s with 2 correct responses. Only one player got Monday’s clue. The two triple stumpers were both geared to a specific group of people: fans of a particular TV show and people familiar with the early history of the Pelican State. There were no useful hints to narrow it down in either clue. The easiest clue was the U.S. Government one. The player who missed it knew what it was but got one word wrong.
