It was a dismal start to the week with a triple stumper. That was followed by two more of the same. On Thursday, the tide changed when a movie clue produced 2 correct responses but things went downhill again on Friday with only 1 correct response. I thought the World Flag clue was the toughest. I also thought the other 2 stumper were pretty easy, although not as easy as the movie clue.
